I'm A-Comin' Home!

This is probably my last post that I'll be writing from China.

In less than twenty-four hours I'll be leaving the PKU campus and getting on a plane for a looooong trip to Des Moines. It's so hard to believe I'm actually leaving. I've grown so used to my life here that I can't imagine leaving it all behind.

As difficult and scary as it was to leave Iowa, coming home is ten times harder. When I came to China, I was going on an adventure to a brand new place, and I knew I'd be home in two months time. But now I know exactly what I'm leaving and where I'm going, and I have no idea when/if I will return to China. Despite all this, I'm so excited to see my home and family that I'm bouncing off the walls!

Last night I went to a going-away dinner with JoAnn at the CAU, and today I'm doing some final shopping and packing. I hope to spend one last evening down by the lake, and then try to sleep one last time in my granite bed.

I'll be giving a couple presentations about my experience, and I'll post the times, etc. for those on this blog, so check back to learn more about that!

Until then, Dsai Jian!
