Uninteresting day of classes. Found out I still have a Chinese test despite the Xi’an trip. When I got home, I managed to pack with relative ease. I definitely learned from my previous two packing experiences (one of which kept me up all night). However, I still managed not to get any sleep because I was going crazy over On Campus Recruitment (OCR). I spent most of the night writing a cover letter and filling out the application for Deloitte. Cover letters really aren’t my strong point…

10/18/2009 – Day 57 – Waking up to the Sunset
After talking to Fanny all night, I slept until four and didn’t get out of bed until five. I was still sleepy when I got up and probably could have slept for a few more hours. I pretty much did nothing but waste time and then do homework. I prepared my presentation for the second part of my Chinese midterm and memorized it before plopping back on my bed.

09/22/2009 – Day 31 – Back gate interviewing
The most exciting part of the day (save of course that wonderful Chinese test in the morning) was going to the back gate of ECNU and interviewing the food stand and restaurant workers for City & Environment class. I’m amazed by how willing people are to talk to you, even with a video camera taping them. We talked a three people and they all had interesting stories and it just makes me want to buy from them more often. Which I indeed did right after the interviews =X
Unfortunately, the rest of the day was nothing worth writing about. I don’t think anyone’s interested in reading about me nearly falling asleep in class. I think that’s a given by now, which doesn’t make me look very good. Oops.
09/21/2009 – Day 30 – Back to routine
A tiring day. I think I could just end my post right there because that pretty much sums it all up. The Beijing trip was exhausting and I was feeling it. I only had one class, but a pre-departure meeting for Guilin meant staying a few hours more. A nap would have been nice =X
The rest of the day was nothing more than boring. I walked around trying to find stuff I needed to bring to Guilin (like a poncho). I probably should have just took a nap instead because I ended up staying up late reading for class and studying for my Chinese test.
I seriously need sleep. I almost forgot what happened on this day…

Back in Shanghai
I’m back after a weekend in Beijing. I’ll sum it up in one word: incredible. Updates when I’m not half asleep.
