Rain

It's raining in Shanghai, last week we had 23 degrees up here, sun and no wind.

This week it's 5 degrees, rain and windy.

Last week I was just about to take the bike out and start biking to school again, but just listening to the rain outside my window now,, well I don't want to think about it.

I've kept my self rather busy lately, had a TOEFL test,(english proficiency test), tuitions and test fees to pay that sure takes it's good old time in China (spent at least one and a half working day in banks during the last two weeks), at same time I'm preparing for a HSK test that's in April (need to know how to write 3000 characters they say now). On top of that I'm trying to make like a hundred study plans for all the universities that I'll apply for soon, as well as trying to obtain all the documents, certificates and letters of recommendation that I also need for that. And being a complete idiot, I of course combine all this with a couple of late nights out in the ever so lovely shanghai bar scene,,, you know, just to add a little hangover to the pressure. 

Thou I must say that, letting go of the things that you in the weeks try to control and just be for a few hours and do some crazy stuff where you just don't care,  is what I think is keeping me sane, but maybe that is just because I've already gone insane I think that?

Anyway, it's been a few busy days, weeks, eh a month...

and it'll continue that way for a while I suppose, with the upcoming wedding of Hans and Jane, the tests, and the 400 000 forms that needs to be filled in for uni, but I shall not complain, life is still to good for that!

All the best and hold on out there, the heat will soon come back to us!
