Summer in June

There is one word for the weather right now - Ugh! :/
The temperature reached 92 degrees today and felt like 100% humidity. I try to wear as little as possible and still be modest and cool, but I always have a film of moisture all over my skin. This is just the beginning of summer!
Other things that are going on the last of June is that I will take my end-of the-semester tests. These are not really hard tests I just need take time to review the lessons. After this month I will be officially done with Chinese class for the time being.
The last couple of days I took the opportunity to visit again a beautiful place. This time some friends went with me. The sights never get old. It was a bummer it rained almost the whole time we visited. We still had the opportuntity to take a boat ride along the river and of course do some more shopping.
The last two days of my trip I spend with Kevin. It was more of a laid-back visit. We did do some sight-seeing. We even watched the NBA championship game on TV in no other place but McDonalds! Watching basketball isn't my 'cup of tea' but I enjoyed watching it with Kevin, (too bad the Celtics lost)!
Since coming back I have realized I need to get motivated to finish some projects I have started. I have little of 6 weeks left and the time will fly by. I need motivation!!!

June


It is June already, May seemed to fly by. My trip home in April seems like a dream, one of those dreams you have in a light sleep.
I will let you have a glimpse of what June may look like:
I have 3 more weeks left of classes including end of semester exams. This will be a turning point in my life, I will not be a 'student' anymore. In the sense of have a scheduled class to attend and study for exams. I do not know how do feel about this! I do know I will feel great after I finish the exams!
I will book a one-way ticket back to America. I do not think I have ever booked a one-way ticket before. Maybe it doesn't sound weird to you but it is to me, I have gotten used to booking round-trip tickets! So I am currently in the process of asking travel agents and looking on the web for 'cheap' plane tickets.
I will continue traveling to visit friends in villages and towns. I have looked at the calendar many a times and realized I only have 9 weeks left here in zhong guo中国! Craziness!
I want to use my time wisely, and most of that is relying on Father to plan my day. There are many things I want to do, but they all may not be what Father has planned for me to do. It is hard for me to realize that in my daily life. What seems good at a specific time may not be in Father's plan for me.
