    Week Twelve Recap

    Sometimes I delay posting my recaps because I’m afraid that my life is too boring to write a blog post about. This is one of those weeks! But in case you’re curious, this what I’ve been up to lately: Sunday Like I said, life hasn’t been too exciting lately. This past Sunday, I spent the…

    Week Eleven Recap

    Hi! Another week in the books. Let’s recap.  Sunday Since I completed all of my homework on Saturday, this Sunday was a free day for me. I started off the morning with a phone call to a friend back home, then one with my mom over lunch. I did a bit of organizing and tidying…

    Week Ten Recap

    Hi, everyone! This post should be my recap of the week I spent in Shanghai, but I took regrettably poor notes during my trip, so I’ve been dragging my feet, trying to piece together memories and pictures. That hang-up was stopping me from posting this past week’s recap, but it suddenly occurred to me that…

    Fall Break Recap: Part Two

    Hello, again! This post will cover Thursday through my second Sunday of Fall Break. After this, I’m heading to Shanghai, so more travel stories to come.

    Hello, friends! I’m here with a recap of my fall break, Sunday through Wednesday. This would be a monster post if I included pictures and travels from the whole week, so it’s coming in two parts.

    Hi! My sincerest apologies for another delayed blog post. I’m back in business with an update from last week’s midterms and (coming soon) this week’s fall break shenanigans. Please enjoy!

    Week Six Recap

    Last week, my coursework got the best of me, but I’m back now with another post!  Sunday This Sunday was a pretty chill day. 25% of my cohort was sick with a cold, and I woke up feeling like I might be coming down with it, too. I finished up some homework and spent the…

  • Week Four Recap

    Week Four Recap

    Sunday I’ve got to start doing more interesting things on Sundays, for the sake of these weekly posts if nothing else. We can keep it short and sweet: I did some laundry (somehow losing a pair of pants in the process??), took a long walk around Beijing to soak in the sun, finished my last…

  • Week Three Recap

    Week Three Recap

    Week Three was jam-packed academically. Let’s get into it!  Sunday Predictably, this Sunday could be summed up by: laundry, homework, and phone calls. The morning started out with a 12 pm essay deadline, so I quickly polished and submitted my work before hopping on a chatty call with my roommate from junior year. After that,…

  • Week Two Recap

    Week Two Recap

    Week One was pretty stressful and not overly interesting to blog about, so I’m going to jump right to Week Two. Enjoy! 🙂 Sunday Sundays here are pretty similar to my Sundays in the United States (laundry, homework, errands), but I started this Sunday with probably my greatest moment of frustration so far. All I…
