So I had every intention of posting while in China, but lovely China had blogger blocked, so that was the reason for my lack of posting. I had a wonderful last trip to China. It was so great to see my family and all my friends!! And of course the shopping was great too =] I have lots of random pictures and maybe I’ll post some. I didn’t get to go to Vietnam like I was hoping to, but my mom went and had a fabulous time. I went to Hong Kong a few times, and went to a few theme parks. When I first arrived, my really good friend Tessa was already there, and there were three other college kids there as well, Destiny, Paul and Kevin. They are the children of a family in the branch, and were there visiting for a month. So it was way fun to get to know them and become friends with them and hang out all together! And of course I saw my friend Alex in Hong Kong as well (Tessa and I met him at the temple at the end of our senior year, and then he went to BYU with us!). So that was all fun! I went to school a few times and saw people there. Went to graduation and the fun after-party! There is a few guys at school who have a band so we went to listen to them play. And then there is a band with a few teachers in it who played after them. They were awesome! Anyway. That was pretty much my trip. Oh and I also tutored while I was there. Two boy, each twice a week. So that was nice to make some money. Overall, it was great trip.
Except for the flight home. Monday night (my last night) I wasn’t feeling so hot. I had a pretty upset stomach, but it eventually went away. I went to Tessa’s and her and I and our friend Ryan watched a movie. Went home and slept fine. Tuesday morning I woke up when my dad came to say goodbye, and all of a sudden my stomach exploded. I spent the next 3 hours, every five minutes, on the toilet. I was throwing up and all kinds of stuff and it was not fun. I could not believe it! I had to be on a plane in a few hours!! I would have just rescheduled my flight, except I had to be back in California to babysit because the parents were leaving for Hawaii the next day!! So I braved it up and some how made it to the airport. But not before throwing up, in immigration, in front of the officer who was processing my passport. Somehow though, they let me through!! I felt much better afterwards, and when I finally got to the airport I just went and laid down (since that was the only position that really felt good!) I stocked up on Immodium, and prayed that I wouldn’t need to use the restroom every five minutes, seeing as I had the window seat. Amazingly I was fine the whole rest of the trip. I didn’t eat more than 2 rolls and a bit of cup o noodles (they threw the rest out before I could finish because I fell asleep and they thought I was done). So I made it to California safe and sound, and I have been nannying this past week. I leave for Utah on Saturday and start work again at the pastry kitchen on Monday. I was hoping to work the 6am-2pm shift, but they are having me come in at 11 =[ Oh well. Hopefully eventually I can move to 6. I just don’t want my whole day shot by working the afternoon. Anyway. Thats about it!!!
