Ahhhhh there's more time to type now. I'm really enjoying myself now. I was worried about the food situation, as last year I went on a sort of starvation diet. But this year, I seem to be liking it more. At least, I'm eating more. I am totally going to get fat. I was hoping I'd lose weight, like last time, but...I'm gonna be one plump chickie when I get home.
Ah. The school bell just went off in my ear. It was The Black Eyed Peas, "My Humps." It was quite loud. And quite racy.
But anyway, it's so cool to see everything here. There's so much culture and it's so old too. And yes, before you ask, I saw the Great Wall. And I ate tripe. However, don't give me any credit, as I discovered this tidbit after I ate said tripe. And discreetly spit out said tripe. And disgustly had said tripe stuck in my teeth until we got back to the hotel and could floss. Which was hours later.
While seeing the Great Wall was amazing, especially the view, I was concentrating more on climbing it instead of enjoying it. I wish that our guide, Li Min, hadn't pushed us to go so quickly, but...I wouldn't change it. I wish I wore different clothes, though.
Oh, and Mom? I got a little purse there, right? And I wore it that first day. At night, then, I noticed I had black stuff on my shirt. I disregarded this and went to bed. Next day, I wore the purse. That night, I realized I also had black stuff on my shirt. It struck me that the dye from the purse strap rubbed off on both of my (only) undershirts in a very obvious way, and it won't come off when I rub water on it! I'll try to get it off when I was my clothes, but I don't know what'll happen. What do I do???
Oh, and I CAN see your replies and posts this year.

Well I can't believe it! You really ate said tripe! How did said tripe taste? Doesn't sound like said tripe will be what causes you to gain weight. It must be all the delicious dumplings. They're my favorite. Too bad you can't bring some home. Why in the world would they play the Black Eyed Peas for their school bell. That seems so odd to me for a Chinese school. Maybe it's for your benefit. I'm glad to hear you like the food better this year. Hopefully you won't pass out like last year. Were the clothes you wore to the Great Wall too hot? If you can, buy some Aloe Vera there, try that on your sunburn. As far as the purse goes, first off, quit using it. Then try to rub some detergent directly onto the stain. Let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse it out. If you get some of it out but not all, try the same thing again. If that doesn't do it I guess you'll wear stained shirts while you're there! I sent an email to your student account. Have you tried that yet? Will we be able to do any Skype sessions like last year? Miss you. Love you lots, Mom
