Just a Minute (October 2010)

[disalarming]

On the last day of every month, I take Just a Minute to reflect on what I’m currently up to.

Relieved… that no drama resulted out of my senior year roommate situation. Thank goodness!!

Searching… for that perfect pair of boots. I’ve completely worn down my old ones and am in desperate need of a new pair, but unfortunately my feet are too big for most shoes sold in Chinese street markets.

Missing… an oven in my kitchen so I can bake! There’s nothing like warm apple pie or spiced pumpkin cake on a cold winter day. Unfortunately, I can’t bake as I have no oven :(

Freezing… my butt off in the cold Beijing weather. By law, Beijing is not allowed to turn on the heat until mid-November, so until then I’ll be perpetually frozen. Luckily, it’s warmed up a little today.

Continuing… my intensive Chinese language studies next semester!! After lots of pondering and consulting, I’ve decided that it is the best option in the long run.

Feeling… accomplished, as my friends and I climbed the Great Wall yesterday! Photos will come soon. As will all my other photos from my time so far abroad…

Celebrating… Halloween! I didn’t put together a costume this year, so I ended up wearing my hottest dress when my friends and I went out last night and good times were had by all. Happy Halloween!
