Spring break was fun.

Built the floor of a house, put up the four outside walls, and put up all the walls for the rooms inside the house.

I feel accomplished.

Bonded a lot with the people on the trip.

Ate A LOT of good southern cooking. So unhealthy, but oh so good.

I ate so much that for the next few weeks all I want to eat is salad and fruit.

Everyone was so nice and hospitable. They took care of us really well. And they all had southern accents, which was cool.

We got asked to massage a horse's balls. I'll blog more on the alcoholic southern woman from Love Valley in a later entry.

OH yeah, I'm going to China for a month after school gets out. How exciting! One of the professors from my school is going to China, and the CPGC (Center for Peace and Global Citizenship) is sponsoring three Haverford students and one Bryn Mawr student to go on an academic study tour with him. I applied for the trip, thinking that I wouldnt' get it. And I'm not trying to be modest because this was such a shot in the dark. Preference was given to East Asian Study majors (which I am not), and there were 19 applications for four spots, so I knew I had a very slim chance. But I knew that if I didn't apply I would hate myself for passing up such a great opportunity, so I applied and well, I got in. What a pleasant surprise =]. It's funny because just two weeks ago in small group we were talking about our summers and how we didn't know what we would be doing. And God just blesses me with his amazing opportunity. We'll be touring with the professor for three weeks, and then we we have a week to spend on our own in and around Shanghai. I have to admit I'm super psyched.

But ah, I can't even think too much about China now because this week is going to be crazy. Rehearsals for the theater festival every day, one 6-page paper, one 5-page paper, prepping to interview people for my religion project, and of course work at CPGC and the Humanities Center every day. I dont' see myself sleeping very much this week.

Ok, time to get cracking on my essays. []Deace out.
