I haven't blogged in 2 weeks and it's been a pretty weird 2 weeks. We went to Beijing for that performance which was also a competition of sorts apparently, sort of like China's Got Talent, and we won...unfortunately. Which means we have another round and then if we win that too, we appear on the Chinese New Year special. It's a huge deal actually, 800 million people watch that show, I just can't get excited. As a result of all this, we've all had to re-organize our Christmas breaks (some people are going to miss Christmas at home) 2 times already. It's incredibly awkward because it's obviously really important to Shifu but most of us would really rather not deal with the hassle. We've all been quite respectful but there have been a few uncomfortable conversations and he pointedly reminded us that we signed a contract for this program where we agreed to do performances and interviews. So after all this mess, I finally have a clear idea of what to write here: I'm coming home at the end of October and leaving just after Christmas! I'm sure it's obvious but I can't wait to get out of here, this has all been pretty stressful and I can't wait to see my family and friends again. Yay!

Only one month to go now...
