New stuff

So, it's a month and twenty days until I head to Beijing. I don't have too many updates to offer, but a few things have happened since last time. CET, the program in charge of SASASAAS, which is the program at Wake, which is in charge of travel to Asia and Africa (which are two of the A's in that crazy acronym), sent us a 22 page pamphlet to read through about what to expect in China. It basically reminded us that, surprise, culture is different in China. I did find out for sure that I will have wireless internet in the dorm, though I may have to pay for it.....but its cheap. So it will be no problem to stay connected with all my family and friends back home. Also, we were required to pick classes yet again, I'm not really sure why though, but it looks like I'm going to be taking 17 hours. 11 of those are going to be Chinese and the other 6 should be "21st century Beijing" and "Ancient Chinese Philosophy." I was kinda looking forward to doing as little as possible academically.....oh well, it never stops with Wake. On the bright side, I also found out that the school in Beijing will offer extra curricular classes in Chinese cooking, so that should be awesome! Anyway, I'll post again when it gets closer to the trip.
