No sleep mode activate!

The time is now 11 pm
and I have to be up in 4 hours to catch my plane...

I only started packing 2 hours ago.
You might ask "what an idiot move to start packing so late,
why in the world would you do that?"

Well, homework on top of homework,
and it had to be handed in before Sunday,
so that's why.
My teachers are very understanding human beings.............

I know I won't get nearly as much sleep when we land in Beijing.
So goodnight, I will now enjoy my 4 hours of sleep to the fullest.

Last minute stress

This Sunday there will be one week left before the departure for China...
Damn, lots o' stressing out!

I think in the last week I've packed and unpacked my suitcase around six times. I just can't seem to figure out what to bring along?
My scumbag teachers also seem to believe that handing out 3 major assignments for the week before we leave was the best idea ever. It wasn't if you ask me...
And to make matters worse; I recently found out that my trip to the Philippines in December will have to be cancelled, due to a shortened Christmas holiday. This means I won't get to see my family for a long time.

This sucks balls of course, so the trip to China helps my mood a bit :)


We got our temporary program for our stay in Beijing and Xi'an today, and of course sleeping is not a part of the program.
We have to be at Copenhagen airport at 7 o'clock in the morning! Which means I have to get up at 5...
*insert dying whale sound here*

My class and I will then be facing a grueling flight of over 10 hours, and a change of flights in Zurich.
But behold, we will then be in the glorious Beijing airport!
A bus will then pick us up at 5.30 am outside the airport, and we will be on our way to our hotel.
Not much time for resting though, as we will only be allowed a shower and some breakfeast before we depart for the Great Wall :D

The rest of the week will be spend blending in with the tourists, and visting temples, the olympic stadium, Tiananmen Square etc.

On the way to Shanghai we will take a detour to Xi'an to see the terracota warriors.
We're taking the overnight train to Xian. Heard a lot of rumours about people's belongings getting stolen, so I guess I'll have to sleep with one eye open O.O


Then we'll be in Shanghai again and the vacation will be over, school will start the day after we get there. My level of enthusiasm could perhaps be higher...



I'll try to make some updates when we land in Beijing, can't make any promises though, the Great Chinese Firewall might shut me down :p
