I'm Here!

So we are finally in Beijing! We have been here for a few days and now I have finally found a few minutes to update the blog! I love Beijing! I like it a lot more than I thought I would and I am adjusting pretty quickly! Everyone is really nice! I feel like I have a ton of friends already! The program directors are great too. I can't believe it but they already know everyone's names and there are 60 of us! They have also made me feel a whole lot better about my independent studies!

Yesterday was great. We had orientation and then Marie and I walked around campus. It's HUGE and absolutely beautiful. It really is beginning to feel like home. Last night we went to Pyro's and Propaganda... more to come on that.

Tomorrow morning we are going to the Great Wall and then to Chengdu where we will spend two nights and visit the summer palace. I am so excited!

I'm going to go get dinner now and then we are setting off fireworks for Chinese New Year! More to come when we return from Chengdu!
