Dear Followers,
Sorry about the lateness of my post but after reading this i hope you will understand. day two in china was very busy and eventful i will do my best to include everything in this post. I didn't really sleep too well but that must have been the jetlaggggg. I woke up every hour or so and at about 4:30 i was so awake i decided to suit up and go for a run. The run went well i got to the track at 4:45 and there was a line to get in. Well first of all i have to explain that to get in you go through this like rotating door thing were it counts the number of people that go in. so it was 4:45 and i was waiting in line for almost 15 min to get in. once i actually got in I did a pace workout just to see how the air was effecting my running. it was a tad bit difficult to run when theres more than a hundred elderly couples fast walking around a track. ya it paints an odd picture but you would have to be there to really understand how ridiculous it is. so after running i went back to my room and im not really sure what i did till 8:00 but i guess i took a shower and did skyped some people. at 8:30 we went to breakfast, my absolute favorite meal of the day in china, tasty warm soy milk, rice buns filled with mushy spinach and leaks and then a bun with
egg yolk and bean curd on the inside, doesn't get better than that. so i ate and then went to the on site orientation where i met a bunch of important people who i dont remember, so they cant really be that important. then i went to my chinese class which consisted of all of three people which was very challenging but in a good way. it is really crazy, you know my brother went to interlochen where he was surrounded by people who shared his passion for music, i never really understood why he liked it until now. every single person on this trip loves china and learning chinese. anyway i have a quiz tommorrow we will see how that goes i was studying until 12:30 which technically isnt included in this post but ya, it was alot of writing i also learned about his new memorization program called Anki its pretty cool. after class we ate korean food for lunch and then had culture class. culture and history class was a little boring cause i have already taken it but i can always learn more. after that we went to our tutors mine is this girl named su so thats cool. Dmitri and Gianna are in my group Dmitri is from D.C. and Gianna is from L.A. then i went back to the door fell asleep slept through dinner woke up got something to eat then studied for endless hours. :D
