In sickness and in health

I have been getting sick lately. If I’m not studying, I’m taking medicine or sleeping. Tonight, the group went out to get Peking roast duck, but I couldn’t go because I was feeling so bad. I can’t believe I missed it!

Hopefully I will start to feel better soon. Next week, I’m going to Xian, where the terra cotta warriors are located. I am really excited. Hopefully, I’ll have some pictures to post when I get back. Regardless, I will post my reactions to the trip when I return.

On another note, I can’t believe all that I’m missing back at Dartmouth. It’s primary season and all the candidates are visiting New Hampshire. I would really have liked to see the most recent debate too, where the Clinton campaign alleges that here opponents used the “politics of pile on” because she’s a woman. I’m anxious to see whether or not that strategy works.

In class, we’re working hard on group projects now. My group is doing student politics. So we are researching the state of student politics in China, and tracing its history. We also have to write a 12 page summary of the project. It will be time consuming.

It is hard to believe how little time I have left in Beijing. In less than a month I will be home. I will try to find some more time to explore the city before I go.
