The break has begun!

On Wednesday Shifu spontaneously gave us an extra week and a half of break time so we are officially off now. yay.

My mom is checking into changing our flight home so we'll have another 5 days or so in Canada. If that works out we'll be super happy to head home early, if not, we plan to go spend several days in the city of Xi'an and see a bunch of historically significant sights as well as rest and eat some tasty meals. Either way we'll have a great time. It seems so bizarre that such a long awaited break has started unexpectedly early.

I woke up with a cold yesterday and spent almost the entire day in bed but I'm feeling better already. Hopefully this means I won't get sick on the way home like I did last year, though I suspect that was due to eating something that didn't agree with me and not a virus.

Well I may be incommunicado for a few days next week depending on our flights but should be back into the swing of things shortly thereafter.
