Today marks the one year anniversary of when I got the email I had been accepted into NYU Shanghai. It was one of the proudest moments of my life and I am so thankful to be here one year later.
These next couple weeks are very exciting! Tonight I am meeting Ms. Munson's husband for dinner at one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in Shanghai, Grandma's. It's great authentic food, and its where my friends and I have already decided to take our parents when they come for graduation. My mom also got together a suitcase for me that Cook is bringing tonight!
Next week the Starrs' are coming to visit me too! (I am one lucky college student to have all these visitors this far away from home) They have suggested some international food, so I am taking them to one of the prettiest views of the Bund. It's great food and hopefully the weather will be nice and we can sit outside for dinner!
Also spring break is coming up and My friends and I are going to Hainan! It's probably one of the prettiest parts in China and we are so excited for 80 degree weather and beaches. We are staying in this beautiful house right off the beach. We can hardly wait. (Pictures and Posts to come from that trip)
This weekend is another candidate weekend for the Chinese and I was asked to be on the student panel. I look forward to answering their questions and meeting some new faces!
I am also up to the 15 mile mark in my marathon training. It's becoming so fun! This week I ran a mile of stairs in preparation for the wall on top of my other training, it wasn't as bad as I thought!
Next week is midterms, I can't believe I only have two more months of my freshmen year of college. Time flies.
Love from Shanghai,
Maddie
