Emotional Month

Remember my 'glory days' of blogging when I'd write at least 3 entries a week?! Man has that gone down the tubes this past month! lol Sorry blog-addicts.

Believe it or not, I only have two more weeks of study abroad left. AHHH! It's been an emotion-filled month.
I'm excited to see my family and friends.
I'm tired of school. (boo exams this week)
I'm sad I have to 'let go' of Hong Kong.
I'm thankful for the friends I've made.
I'm anxious to see Beijing.
I'm dreading my long flight back.

All-in-all it's been one awesome time! I'll always look back and think, man that was the best semester of my undergraduate college career.

Lunch with Mr. Li and Sandy

I'M A REBEL.
Right now I'm skipping class and blogging. I can't help it! I mean really, how could I leave listening to Michael Buble' radio on Yahoo?!

Today for lunch I met up with Mr. Peter Li (past WVU administrator) and Sandy (past Lingnan Study Abroad advisor).


I really enjoyed chatting with them about my time in Hong Kong and asking advice on how to help international students next semester.

Yes I'm tall.

I'm 6 feet tall which is a bit above the average 5'5" height for Western women but WAY above the average 5'0" height of Asian women. As you can imagine, I get stares and the typical "Wow, you're really tall!" responses when I meet people. But yesterday I got the worst tall joke.

Here is what I posted on my sisters Facebook wall:
"Just for a good laugh, I wanted to pass along THE worst 'man you're tall' insult for a girl. Background of the story: I'm standing next to Joy, my new BFF from church, who is just about 5 feet tall and super tiny. Roseyln then says, "Hey you two look like David and Goliath!"

GOLIATH?! I wanted to cry. Goliath is WAY worse then "Gosh you must play basketball." or "Wow are you like 7 feet tall?" OR EVEN "Man you're like a giant."


Ugh I never thought I'd be able to relate to Goliath but at that moment I felt like I just got knocked out by a stone. Goliath?! I mean come on.
