Back in Business

So, as many of you may know (if you are a good friend of mine) I have returned to the Meiguo. It's been a few weeks, but I'm finally on the ball of getting things done in my life.

I aplogize for not posting up anything in the past few months, but friggin Blogspot was blocked in China. They just love to block everything, I tell ya. AND I didn't know that there was a website that I could use to work around that block until the week I was coming back to the states. Anyway, I'm going to try and make these things more up-to-date because I have a whole rack of things that I want to post up to this thing. Videos, pictures, stories to explain the videos and pictures. I mean, really. I had you guys all excited to hear about my Spring Break and then when I got back to Shanghai I found out that this website was blocked. Sucks, doesn't it?

Well, in between me studying for my new classes, being lazy, and trying to enjoy my summer I will try (and this time I DO mean it!!) to post up all these stuff. It's just there sitting on my (broken) computer so I will work with that and get it up for you guys to see. Excited? I know I am! Haha..

Anyway, I am in the process of a new direction in my life. I'm not ready to expose it just yet, but when it's time I shall. Hopefully, the next post will be my thoughts on returning to the Meiguo and the withdrawals I've had to face. In the meantime, sit back, relax, and enjoy your summer! Hopefully many of you are as unoccupied as myself so you are online quite often. Haha..alright. That's enough.

See ya!

Spring Break '09

Ok..I know that I have been slacking on the blog posts, but I ALSO know that you guys are not surprised. I like to pop whenever I can. I like to give you guys some suspense. Like.."When is Nancy going to write a new blog??" Haha...ok, ok. Not really. I'm just lazy. I WILL try to post up the rest of those videos from Beijing. There are a lot more, but for some reason the video software that I'm using on my computer isn't working so I had to try and get a new one but THAT one wasn't working..its a hassle...but they WILL be posted up because you guys really enjoyed them :o)

ANYWAY

Here I am..writing a new blog post..and A LOT has happened since the last time I wrote in these here pages...That, though, I will have to save for another time (mental note for Nancy: remember all the things you want to write!)

But, back to the present. TOMORROW a dear friend of mine (HEY ALEX!!!) and I are going on an EPIC adventure! Our Spring Break has FINALLY arrived (while all of you are
hastily studying for finals..I'll be traveling China! It's ok, I'll be thinking about ya! Hehe...) and we have planned an AMAZING trip!

Tomorrow after Chinese class we will RUSH (and I mean RUSH) back to our rooms, drop our stuff and gather ourselves as quickly as possible to make it to the airport. We have to take a maglev and all of that to get this done, so we are leaving SUPER early since we have never done this before! Then, at 9 something p.m. we will be darting off to the wonderful land of Xi'an to see the Terra Cotta Warriors!! (Look to the right) We will, also, do many other epic and amazing things in Xi'an, but the Terra Cotta Warriors are what we REALLY want to see.

Now, we will only be in Xi'an until Saturday night...then its OFF to Guilin!!! I'm so excited about Guilin. We're supposed to be going on a day cruise, bike riding through some little village, and much MUCH more! Look at the pics I found online!


And thats ALOT of pics, right?? Well, I will take MANY more!!! :oD I'm so excited!!

BUT WAIT!! THERE'S MORE!!!

I go to Sanya after Guilin!! AHHH!!! BEACH BEACH...and did I say BEACH?!?!? This is our relaxing portion of the trip. Where we just laze away and watch the water hit our feet as we lay in the sun. Well, more like Alex lay in the sun because I don't go to the beach to tan. Haha...but here are some pictures of Sanya so that you can get an idea of where we are going!


And there you have it! Those are the places that I will be next week. So now I have a (real) reason as to why I won't be blogging!!! Enjoy the pictures and I'll be thinking about each and every one of you while I'm enjoying my vacation! Until I have to dread through finals...boooo...

See ya!!

Beijing: Day Two

TIENANMEN SQUARE AND FORBIDDEN CITY!!

Beijing: Day One

It was a bad start to a pretty good week. Haha...

Nanjing Vids!!!

Videos from Nanjing!!!

From Beginning Until Now

I'm always MIA...I know. BUT!! I have blogs from the (almost) beginning of the CIEE CGC program up until now. SO the next few posts will be videos.

P.S. Right now I'm in Beijing, for I plan on having vlogs (thats right, right??) on my time in Beijing! ENJOY!!!




This blog is just me talking to friends.

The first girl is Liz: goes to Georgetown. Intelligent. Hilarious. Holla at me if you need her number!! Haha..jokes, jokes.

Next girl is Jen: Hilarious. But, off limits. Love her to death, that gamer girl. Haha.

Last girl (on the bed) is Nicole: Sweetest girl you'd EVER meet! But you know what they say, its always the quiet ones! Haha...

Another blog already?!

Yes, yes! I know! I'm so bad with this thing but I have managed to post a new blog in a relatively short time between the last one! :oD So I uploaded pictures up on facebook from my trip to Nanjing and other fun activities here in China...fun fun FUN!!

Still, here is a little taste for all of you guys who do not have access to my facebook account:




So what do you guys think??? Awesome, right? Just look at my albums on facebook for the rest of the pictures. China is just completely incredible, cheap, beautiful (hen piaoliang!), and quite an experience. I'm actually thinking about looking for internships here..maybe for the summer?? I have no clue. But, I have nothing else to do for the summer, so why not??

ALSO!! Did I tell you that our plan is to go to Tibet for spring break?? A bunch of us girls are looking into it. I mean, we could go ANYWHERE else, but how many people get to say that they went to Tibet?? Exactly. So, we're going! Hopefully everything falls into place because I've never actually done anything out of this world for spring break..this just might have to be it! Can't waiitttt!!!!

P.S. no one is getting back to me about what they want to read on the blog. Does that mean that you guys are enjoying it already? If so, YAY!! Haha...
