For 2012, I will post one new picture every day.
Hey guys I’m jumping ahead in posting or else I’m going to fall way behind! This project ends in less than a month and I want it all posted by then! So hopefully I will be posting at least the current photo of the day and a photo of the day from China every day. … More Day 339: University of Tampa and Maxi Dress Extravaganza
Omg I just drank water from the tap and didn’t die! Life in America is so… safe. Except when my mother takes me out for an unexpected 6 hour shopping marathon. Nobody is safe then. Especially my wallet. Sunday, November 11th Drinking an Americano at my favorite cafe in Shanghai. ET Cafe in Xuhui. Monday, … More Day 315 and 316: Back at Crossfit
I am home!! It feels weird. The air is so humid, my bedroom is bigger than our apartment in China, and my ankles are swollen like no other. Weird. I should probably get some sleep and get adjusted to the time change but I seem to be functioning well on 2 hours of sleep… so … More Day 313 and 314: Chinese vs. American Parties
Guess what? I am going home today! I leave Shanghai around 5pm and arrive in Florida around midnight. A solid 24 hours of travel. Oh boy I’m psyched. I’m sad to leave China and my friends here but excited to go home and spend time with my family. On a very sad note, my dog Holly … More Day 312: Going Home and I’m on a Bus
Wednesday , November 7th Election day in the United States. But I live in China. This means that I was wonderfully exempt from the crazy political talk on the news, social media, television, everything. Thank goodness! Mr. President, let’s get this country moving again! In the meanwhile I’ll be living across the world watching, waiting, … More Day 311: Election Day
Tuesday, November 6th After a pretty intense netball practice I was wiped out and my foot was aching. However, I wanted to go to Crossfit and get in some strength training. Well it turns out Crossfit was anything but strength training. This was both good and bad. When I walked in I saw “Speed Work” … More Day 310: Winning at Crossfit (and life)
Monday, November 5th You know it’s fall when closed toes shoes come out of the closet. As a Florida girl, my heart will always lie with my beloved sandals. However, when I found this pair of brown loafers in North Carolina I was actually excited to hide my oddly long toes in these cute shoes. It only … More Day 309: Loafers and a Deadlift PR
Sunday, November 4th Do not cross. And when the light turns green make sure to check to your left, right, front, and back for any wayward vehicles headed your way. Maneuvering the streets of Shanghai is like an intricate dance of cars, buses, bikes, and pedestrians caught in a web of their own traffic rules. … More Day 308: Red Light Green Light
Hard to imagine but I have only one week left in China. Not only am I going home for a month during the holidays (hooray!), but I am also anticipating another change that will completely shake up my life once again. I cannot tell you what is happening at this time but wait for a … More Day 307: Front Squats
Oh boy I am sleepy. Yesterday was jam packed with Thanksgiving festivities and today with some serious shopping (we scored some great deals on “real” purses and watches!). I am ready to face plant into my pillow so there will be few words today. Friday, November 2nd Our friend Nestor needed to buy some shoes … More Day 306: When in China
