Travel Blog #25: Final

Good Morning!

It’s final exam day.

Day 25: I don’t know why I’m so nervous – but I am. Maybe because I feel like I should’ve retained more information than I did, and now I have to put it all out there and get graded on speaking a language I’ve only known for four weeks! It was now or never. Chelsea and I performed our dialogue and it went well! Let’s hope I get a really good grade, too. Getting an A in this class would look amazing on my transcript!

After the final, Veronica, Danielle, Chelsea, and I went to the silk market again. We went with our classmate, Megan, who’s from Ireland. I got some of my last, last minute souvenirs. I’m so satisfied with everything I got for myself and everyone else! One of my favorite parts about traveling is getting souvenirs because they’re reminders of a great place you once went, or that someone thought of you when they went somewhere – so much to bring you something back.

Side note: I tried bubble tea today! I got mango flavor, and it wasn’t bad! I’ll have to get some at home and compare the two.

After hours and hours of shopping, we finally made it back to our rooms. Some of our classmates asked if we wanted to go out with them, celebrating that we’d finished the program. The biggest catch of this was that since we would have to be back by midnight and the doors to the building didn’t open again until 6am, we’d stay out until then. So, you know what I did, right?

I politely declined, stayed in and packed. LOL

The closing ceremony is tomorrow! (Ahh!)

再见 (Bye)!
