After a Long Day, I'm Back in BJ


It was so hard to leave this morning. Yesterday morning. Hmmm, whenever it was :S I'm so screwed up from the time difference. I was up at around 3 am to get ready for the long flight back to China. Mike drove me to the airport, and his mom & my mom came closer to the departure time to see me off.

Even though he'll be with me in three weeks, I was still sad to say goodbye to Mike. I actually like him, lol!

The flight to Toronto was short and uneventful...The flight to Beijing was blah! Too long, too boring and the flight staff didn't really make it any better. I'm going to find a different airline to travel with from now on. Too many unhappy experiences with Air Canada. I won't go into it, but I will say that the flight attendants pretty much neglected us the whole time. grrrrr!

Dad and I landed at 11:30am BJ time, took an hour to get through customs and the baggage claim, then out into the hazy BJ weather. What a difference from NB! But it's still better than being on that plane, lol!

I honestly felt drunk sitting in the van on the way to the school. No sleep for the last 20 hours and I could barely walk without falling over. When I got back to the residence, I couldn't find someone with my apt. key, so I fell asleep on my suitcase, lol!

Not sure how much time had passed, but three people came along and woke me up, had a good laugh about me sprawled out on my bag...then I wandered out again and found a cleaning lady with the key.

But no rest for me! I unpacked quickly then headed to the office for a couple hours of work. Had to do some preparations for the graduation ceremony tomorrow. I hope the jet lag doesn't last long, or the next few days are going to be torture, lol!
