So I know I haven't written anything well in a while, but to be quite honest my life hasn't been that interesting not that it isn't busy just not interesting enough to blog about. I'm not sure how many people actually read this, but for those of you who still are here is what I've been up to and what I plan to do. 

Life has been good, no real barriers so far. This doesn't mean that my life is perfect but still its been challenging at times, but nothing I can't deal with or overcome just your normal growing pains. I've added a few things to my schedule and this is what my current week looks like. I now have this language exchange going on with this guy named Jerry that I met at my Bible study. He's from Sichuan province in China, where the spicy Chinese food comes from. He tutors me in Chinese on Mondays. On Tuesdays its American football. Yes, American football the NFL is apparently trying to spread football to China so there's this club on campus that plays football. Thursdays is Bible Study! yay! Probably the thing I look forward to the most every week. Its so good to be able to discuss the Bible and fellowship with other Christians. It provides me with a new perspective on life and how I can live it to the fullest. Fridays I teach my friend Jerry English to return the favor. Saturdays is normally my hockey day! Sunday afternoon is reserved for church. So a quick snap shot of my week!

I also have some news on upcoming trips and my return home. I'm going to be spending my week off from Christmas' holiday by being in Hong Kong from December 27-January 1. I've been to Hong Kong before as a kid but it has been a while. My dad spent some of his childhood in Hong Kong so it will be interesting to see what his life was like and also spend sometime in Hong Kong now that I'm old enough to understand it better. Expect a blog entry after I come back too. Again not sure how many of you read this but if your interested. Also, January 15 is the expected return date. This year in China has been wonderful! One of the best things in my life most definitely. The experience and people I met has been unimaginable. I'm sad to see this chapter of my life end but I also know that I need to start a new chapter in my life.
