i'm really excited . . . instead of going to China for IS, i'm going to go during the summer . . . for 5 WHOLE WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY! although i don't have any background in chinese whatsoever, i'm hoping to start lessons soon! but seriously, i'm so excited . .. i'll get to meet sooooooo many new people! (not to mention see hot chinese guys! lol) . . . the place also has an internet cafe, so i can keep in touch via email with my friends and family without paying MASSIVE phone bills or using snail mail. the thing i'm worried about, is i'll come home and then all my pals will be at camps . . . so i'll be stuck at home, completely alone . . . *sigh* . . . mom will make me work more when i get back too, grrrrrr. then, i wanted to go to this soccer camp directed by british soccer coaches . . . that would be fun . . . i just don't know if i'll have time! .. . then varsity soccer tryouts will happen, and i'll be completely busy! it doesn't look like a very relaxing summer . . . unfortunately. but there will be many adventures . . . i just hope i get to see some of my friends too . . . - addie
