Today we had to turn in a short paragraph describing ourselves to our future host families. The trick was it had to be in Chinese characters. I think that might be the most difficult foreseen part of trip, reading and writing. I mean Chinese has no common roots or even letters with any Romance or Germanic langauge. Basically, we're starting from kindergarten learning one character at a time.
Things are starting to heat up in terms of the trip. It seems like we have something planned for every day leading up to it. Tomorrow we're supposed to meet with the group that went last year. I don't think any of them were seniors last year. That'll probably be a big dif. I mean i'm hoping we get more opportunity to explore "non-academic pursuits".
time for bed, dAVID

well, just remember your favorite characters, your name and how to write "help me i'm lost/dead/hungry/cold" and you'll be all set.
