15 Days

Wow. 15 Days left.

It is crazy.

A couple weeks ago, my trip to China felt like it was never going to happen, and now it seems so close. I am starting to panic about it.

It is been a dream of mine to visit Eastern Asia since I first started traveling. The culture is so different from everything I have ever experienced, that it fascinates me.

When I met Kevin [The boyfriend], I never thought that he would actually take me to China, or that he would be interested in traveling with me. He is the kind of boy that likes to stay home and play video games.

It was incredible that in just two weeks, we will be exploring Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou. I still think this is all a dream, and I am waiting for someone to tell me that this was a cruel prank.

Right now, my biggest worry about my trip isn't the itinerary (how we are getting from A to B) but rather my visa. China has been restricting Visas because of the World Expo. I applied with my French passport to save me a 100$, but it seems that the French government and the Chinese government are fighting.

Therefore, I'm still visa-less.

As you can imagine, with 15 days left, I am kind worried about this.

But, my job keeps me busy enough from thinking about it. If I had a whole day, and you guys wouldn't get bored, I would tell you how angry the company made me the other day.

Unfortunately, I do not have that time and you guys would hate it!

So, i am off... for another day filled with office work!

Another blog? WHY!!!

Hello dear non-fans and stumblers,

I know. Another blog in the blogging world. Why a new blog?

Not because you care about my life. Not because I am bored, but because...

I am going through a stage of my life that EVERYONE has to go through, or has gone through already.

This is my last year of being a teenager. Yes. In a couple months (8 months to be exact), I will be 20, a young adult. I will not only have to take care of myself financially, but my tantrums will no longer be accepted.

As a 20 year old, I will have to deal with a lot more events/ things that I want to ever care for. Sometimes, I will want to regress to being 5, while other times, I will love it.

No matter what anyone says, the big 2-ooh, is a big step in anyone's life.

Now, what will make make my 20's different from my teen years.

First, I am moving out.

Second, I will be less dependent of my parents.

Third, I will be paying for my travels (I travel a lot)

Fourth, I will have to budget my finances.

Fifth, I will be a junior in college.

Sixth, (For a short period of time) I will be trying to transfer universities - it is a lot of paperwork.

Seventh, I will lose friends, and make new ones.

Eighth, I will most likely fight with my boyfriend.

Ninth, I will have to balance work, studying, fun time, and writing.

Tenth, I will try to get published.

Eleventh, I will have to deal with my grandmother being sick.

Twelfth, I will have to deal with being in America, and getting an American education.

Thirteenth, My childish dreams will be crushed and destroyed by the big scary world out there. (No more of "I wanna be a princess")

Those are just 13 points. Every month, I have great friends who think of something else for me to do. It includes writing a novel, or learning to bake, or going house hunting, or going to parties, or group studying (which never works by the way.)

So now, I hope this first post explained to you what this blog will be about.

And I hope this blog will guide you through being a 19 going on 20 year-old.

PS: I never wanted to be a princess.
