Status Report

Nihao!

First week back to school. Third week in China. Status report: Things are going well.

Despite the frustrations that I felt over the past two weeks, I can honestly say that things are going well here.

Yeah, moving to another country is not easy. Dealing with things that are seemingly out of my control is even harder.

But despite the frustrations. Things are good.

I had amazing Mexican food last week, with even better margaritas. And the restaurant is right here in Xiamen. I had a pedicure. I'm going to have a massage in a little bit. I went for a pretty awesome hike right behind my house. I'm finding western food and chinese food that I like to eat. I've even become an expert bug killer!

I've been very busy keeping up with school work and keeping up with a social life. I haven't been able to devote as much time to exploring the city as I would have liked or even setting up the apartment, but I'm getting there.

Now if I could just figure out how to handle the weather!
