life is good

in the beginning i was much more strenuous of a student. which sounds better in chinese. renzhen. i was much more renzhen. now i’m just…tired. literally, - not tired of things, i just literally want to sleep. i want to sleep all the time here though. something’s not right in this city. 4 hospitalizations and 2 surgeries in 7 weeks?

i think it might be getting up at 6 everyday - and then even earlier on weekends. we never get a break. 2 free days in 2 months. i didn’t realize how badly i need weekends to catch up.

we have 4 final exams tomorrow morning. in a lot of ways i’m excited to be going home. idk this is a weird part of life.

i don’t think i can take much more of the food here. we ordered a pizza tonight for dinner and it was the healthiest thing i’ve eaten in a while. china’s food can be ridiculously oily all over, but this city’s speciality is being the most oily in all of china. i will miss excessively dangerous boating rides though.

alright i’m gonna go shower. have to be somewhere in a bit. we have to wash our own laundry here - by hand - and i do wash them i swear but i feel like i always smell.. ok that’s all for now.
