So I've never done a blog in my life, but this is the only way to keep some of you in my life for the next six weeks or so, so here goes! Tomorrow begins three days of orientation of Washington D.C before I fly out to Shanghai with 19 other people I've never met before. I'm not actually nervous because this still hasn't sunk in, I feel like tomorrow's just going to be another typical summer lazy day...except it's not. No texting, phone, or facebook while I'm there (facebook's banned in China), so I'm crossing my fingers that I'll be able to get my hands on skype or email once I'm there. Still, I'm officially done packing, and it's off to the airport tomorrow morning!
