But I wrote a blog for my school, which you can read here, if you are so inclined. I enjoyed it at times, but sometimes it could feel like a chore. I just don't really like talking about myself (something that you might find hard to believe), even though I have gotten decently good at it over the years. I just can't help but feel very self centered when I write about myself. However, I suspect that thought is normal for most people.
Alas, here I am, writing a blog focused on my upcoming trip to the People's Republic of China! Of course, I am very much looking forward to it. It is a study abroad trip through the program Best Semester and will be primarily in Xiamen, China, a decent sized city right across the coast of Taiwan. I'll be just one of 20-something-thousand students at Xiamen University, a big change from good ol' William Jessup University's 900 something students. Truthfully, I will be hard for me to be away from the people that I've grown so close to over the past couple years, whether that be my friends or the youth that I work with, they are all a very big part of me. Although, the possibilities that come along with what I'm about to experience I believe are worth a four month hiatus.
I'm really diggin' on the idea of meeting some new faces too! When I heard that the group that I'm going with has only about 15 of us in it, I was kinda surprised, but then I grew to really like the idea. I really cannot wait to meet all of them and become close friends, which is inevitable in my opinion! Hopefully I'm not too overbearing, but we'll see.
My goal is to make this blog a good representation of what my experience is like in China. When I was in Cambodia two summers ago, I wrote some ridiculously long updates to my family and friends about what I had seen, done and the ministries I was working with. It started to kinda wear out my wrists a bit haha! Hopefully I can make this blog enlightening, entertaining, and another word that starts with "en" and ends with "ning"... I'll find it.
