Shanghai Day 10
First day of school. I woke up at 6:53am, turned off my alarms that were set for 7am and then washed up, did makeup, dressed up, ate up, and left for the dorm around 8:20am. I rode the bus and it actually drove us all the way into the science building where all our classes were being held.

I woke up at my mom’s hotel room. The bug bites I got from the previous night were not mosquito bites, but I think bed bug bites. I was not happy about that, but at least they’re not as bad as mosquito bites.
For breakfast we went to the restaurant...
Shanghai Day 5

I picked out some clothes to wear to go “clubbing”. But I didn’t bring anything like that to China. So I threw something on and cut my skirt up. We went got a taxi and met some people at the college back gate. I know the taxi driver...
