Last Blog

                I am happy to say that this will be my last China blog.  I am so excited to come home and see everything.  I think I have a self inflicted stomach ache because my stomach is in knots I’m so excited. 

                We had our last weekend in Wuhan and ended with a bang.  Our night started early at our last banquet style Chinese dinner.  Usually there is too much food, but this time was excessive.  You could have fed two other tables with the amount of food that was left at our table.  It was a good meal though, no frogs or turtles this time.  Anyways, the dinner was really good and we all had a good time.  The last week we all voted on fun awards about the other staff, like best dressed, most sleep deprived, most motivated, etc.  Well…I won one of the awards by a landslide with another girl in the office: “Best Relationship with Skype.”  Hehe, it was pretty funny.  I knew it was coming.  So that was good.  After that we all got together and Bryn and Chris’s for one last rooftop party.  By the end of the night everyone was a little pooped to go out since we started the night so early. 

                The next day was a little rough, but we all managed to get together again in the afternoon at Gail’s house.  It was really nice to have a BBQ.  This is one of the things that I’m so looking forward to when I get home.  We all brought our own meat to grill and a side dish or dessert.  I don’t think that I’ve eaten that much in a long time.  I was so ‘uncomfortable’ as my students would say.  We didn’t stay too late as we were all exhausted from the night before.  

                Yesterday I ran some errands around Wuhan.  I needed to pick up some stuff for my camera at computer city and bought another battery for my computer for the long flight home.  Next I was off to Tailor street to get some fabric for Brad and his photobooth…and then I ended my day with a manicure and pedicure J 

                When I got home I just packed and packed.  All I have left out are my clothes for the next couple days and that’s it.  Not that our apartment was jam packed before, but it looks even emptier now.  Bah!  I am so excited to come home.  I can’t wait to see and visit with everyone. 

See you all on the other side of the Pacific J
