So my last post was all about missing Nanjing...and in order to get excited about this upcoming semester I give you:

Things I'm looking forward to! (in no particular order):

-football season
-being totally moved in to my apartment and having my own space to live in
-Party in the USA with Garbo
-Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I in November
-Formals, swaps, concerts at the Lyric, fraternity parties
-cooler weather
-new seasons of Glee, Fringe, Gossip Girl and The Vampire Diaries
-finishing my thesis on how Americanization/Westernization, the economic policies of the post Deng Xiaoping era, and Confucian based culture influence eating disorders in Chinese women (er...it's a working title)
-graduation*
-the possibility of my own Party in the UK(eh?) next summer (PS- British friends, I'll be needing places to stay...请? 请? You know I'll return the favor if you find yourselves in my neck of the woods...)
-returning to Nanjing (and Phuong!) in the fall of 2011 if everything goes according to plan

*I'm torn on graduation. I'm excited to really start my adult life and go out into the world, but the thought of leaving my friends and the familiarity of college? Terrifying.

It's gonna be a wild ride, y'all. Stay tuned!
