This month in a nutshell

Feels like I haven’t blogged for… quite a while. Pretty quiet in here, huh?

This month completely whisked past me. Remember how I talked about going where the back of the 20RMB note beckons? Then I came back from the super good Yangshuo trip sick — flu/cold, sore throat, throat infection, fever, cough cough cough. Attended classes intermittently due to illness; let my school work pile up; went for a day trip organized by Fudan Foreign Students’ Office and ate self-plucked fresh strawberries; partied every weekend; had good meals; performed 中国话 with close friends in a school singing competition; watched competitors practise for Asia’s X Games; and then now it’s time to welcome the new month by packing off to Fujian!

:grin: But of course, before that, Ladies’ Night. :lol:

MmmmmmThe strawberries we plucked

Us threeUs three with Pineapple rice

 

 

Ahhhh, school life. :cool:

This Reticence

Taking a hiatus of sorts.

Currently still suffering from the ills of Spring, where the supposed joy of flowers blossoming is a distraction from the viral attacks, which I have been a victim of by the way, with full-blown flu and throat infection (and I think lung infection?). You can hear me two classrooms away trying to cough my lungs out, but you won’t be able to hear my voice clearly even when you’re just two steps away.

I hope to be back on track soon.
