More exciting news
I got the English teaching job! I am now an English tutor for ten kids and we meet 2-3 times a week. I have my own textbook and teaching plans. The kids range from first to fifth grade and are all very excited to start working on their English! In addition to this the school wants me to teach once a week on Saturdays to the public (meaning any adult can audit the class too). The school is pretty close to my dorms, and all the staff are really kind. (I'm the only native English speaker who works there). I start after I get back from Hong Kong!

New Internship/national holiday/update on life
Hello All!
I hope everyone is having a great week! This week was the beginning of my internship with MyLOHAS beauty! I am their digital marketer and so far they have given me plenty of projects to keep me busy. I am so far their Facebook Page administrator and I have to draw up a marketing plan to keep the posts relevant and efficient. I'm pretty excited to be on the project and the ladies in the office are all very nice. I'm also picking up on a lot of Chinese since I'm the only American that works here.
Next Week is Chinese National Holiday.... I'm not really sure what it's for but I get a 10 day break. Annie, Isabella, Cha Mi and I are traveling to HongKong, Guangzhou, and Macau (Spending 3 days in each place) We have the whole trip planned in a spread sheet (we'd expect nothing less from Annie, who put the whole trip together). As it happened on of my peer advisees is from Guangzhou and when I met with her she gave me some great places to eat and something that she said I must see! It'll be great to get away from this incredibly busy schedule I've somehow managed this semester, and I'm excited to be with the girls. It's a good group!
This week in IMA I am creating a digital comic! I am looking forward to posting it to my blog so I can show you guys what I've been learning. I am really enjoying how much creativity IMA invokes in me and I'm really happy I switched into it. Also, all of the projects are group projects so it's definitely helping my delegation and communication skills.
I have an English tutoring job in the works (just two hours on the weekends) I will keep you updated.
Also this weekend I'm buying a bike AND HELMET. I guess this means I've really assimilated into the culture. I may be 8000 miles from home, but I can still hear my mom calling everyone not wearing a helmet a "fool". I have made a point to buy one, despite the lack of helmet wearers in the city. Traffic flow is dangerous enough with a helmet, so I stand by my choice.
I have a busy weekend of projects, essays, and readings but tonight is a friend's birthday, so don't worry I am still having fun with this crazy schedule.
Love from Shanghai,
Maddie

Good News
I got the internship! I went into the interview and they offered me the job on the spot. I will be interning with the digital marketer at MyLOHA. As of now I am working three days a week and its actually real work, not just getting coffee. Because I am currently on a student visa, they cannot pay me, but they can compensate me with free organic products and a travel stipend. However, they are letting me stay on during the summer with pay, if I think it's the right fit.
I am so excited to be given this opportunity. This internship is so relevant to what I think I might want to do after college, so I will keep you updated on how it goes!

2nd Week Of Classes/ possible internship!
Hello all
It's been a very busy week here in Shanghai. I have been coding up a storm in my Communications class, and when I'm not coding I'm learning Chinese characters or reading for my other classes.
The gym has yet to open here and I am getting very anxious. I didn't realize that I had to run in order to function like a normal person, but apparently that is the case. I have taken to running up and down the stairwells of my dorms (for old times sake) every night. Rumor is it will be open by the weekend, so I can go back to a normal workout routine.
This Friday two very exciting things are happening! The first is I have an interview for a marketing internship with a health and lifestyle company based in Shanghai. It is the first of its kind in China and as the intern I'd be given all kinds of opportunities to market their products at international farmers markets etc. here in Shanghai.
Also on Friday is NYU Shanghai's annual reality show. This year 12 of my fellow sophomores spent their summer at NYU, NY rehearsing for what we call a 'reality show' which is a musical based performance given to the Freshmen to talk about health and wellness issues and general adjustment to college. For a lot of us, the reality show last year was a turning point for our grade. It was finally one thing we had all experienced and could all talk about. Before then we all felt so different from each other, the grade was so segregated between Chinese and Internationals. I think it definitely brought us together, and I'm hoping the same will happen to the Freshmen this year.
Hope you all enjoy the rest of your week!

First Week of Classes
Hello all!
The first week of classes is coming to an end and I am so happy I switched my major. I am currently in two IMA courses (Interactive Media Arts) and they are as much fun as everyone says they are. My communications lab moves with incredible speed. I think we learned how to develop a website using HTML in under an hour today. It's fast, but I'd rather that than a painfully slow math class. My other IMA class, which I have been attending even though I am still on the waitlist is all about the affects social and other media has on the public and how the public participates in such media. The class is jam packed, and I've spent my week trying to convince people they should switch out so that I can be officially enrolled. I should know by next week whether my tactics worked haha. As for my Chinese class, it is mostly study away students. These poor souls aren't used to Chinese classes that are so rigorous. New York has nothing on us, apparently. I love my Chinese teacher,I can understand her with ease, and we are already done with the first chapter of the book.
It's good to see all the sophomores back in our natural habitat. We are back to making daily dinner plans and fighting about the best way to get to a place. The other night we went out to dinner with over 20 people and we were all talking and laughing and catching up. Ugh I missed them.
Meichen is also doing great! Our room is all decorated and we have our routine down pat. Her science classes are not as difficult as last year, but she has one humanities class that she would prefer not to take. The other night I spent about an hour trying to explain the themes of the last chapter of the bible. It's so fascinating when we talk about religion because in China it is virtually nonexistent. It's goes beyond trying to convince her of any beliefs because you have to explain all the characters too (Jesus, Mary, John...).
Golden Week is coming up in about 2 weeks and Annie has put together an amazing trip where we go to Hong Kong, Macau and Guangzhou. We will hopefully be booking it this week, baring any issues!
Anyway, I'm just loving life right now. Hope everyone has a great Labor day weekend!! <3
Love always,
Maddie

Back in China
Hello Everyone!
As of early this morning (American time) I safely made it to China. My flights were both pretty uneventful but the journey was definitely long. On my flight from Chicago to Shanghai I sat next to this little old Chinese couple who didn't know any English. For five straight hours of the flight they attempted to communicate with me as I struggled to remember all the Chinese that I thought I had lost over the summer.
They were both teachers, one a middle school teacher and the other was a law professor. They had been visiting their only daughter in Miami, as she lives there. They asked me all sorts of questions about my school and what I was studying and where I had traveled to in Asia. They insisted that I travel to Suzhou province, claiming that it was a great place to vacation in China.
The flight attendants, who could only speak English, were grateful I could translate the food options and tell them what the couple wanted to eat. The couple told me that they thought American food was horrible compared to Chinese food and asked if I felt the same. I tried to defend our food by telling them it was just the airplane food that was unbearable, but they were not having it.
The flight attendants were also impressed with my journey. They were so excited to have an insider to tell them where to shop at the fake markets. I was happy to give them my knowledge. Three of them crowed around my seat for an hour asking me all sorts of questions about my adventures in China. They were so glad that I could help them sort out all their shopping needs they gave me food off of their crew cart--yum.
When we (5 NYUSH kids on my flight) finally arrived in China, there was shuttle to take us to our new dorms. I think that these dorms are definitely an upgrade from what we lived in before. I have already hung up all my decorations and most of my clothing. Meichen. who turned 19 on the 25,was so happy to see me and catch up. She told me that when summer started she thought it was going to be really long and boring but she was pleased to find that it went by so fast.
I'm glad that classes don't start for another couple of days, because I can't imagine going to school with this amount of jet lag; however I am trying to get as many errands done in the next couple of days so that I can have a good first week back. Today I have to go to IKEA to pick up some dorm essentials and then maybe go to the fake market to see the new styles.
I will hopefully be able to write over the weekend.

Maddie

Finished! (Definitely Not The Capon Mile)
Hello Everyone!
Let me preface this by saying that I have the most amazing friends and family in the entire world and I would not have been able to cross the finish line without your support.
This weekend I went to Beijing to run my marathon on the Great Wall of China. The plan was to leave Shanghai on Friday and come back on Saturday. We ended up needing to stay another night in Beijing but I am back in Shanghai now. I have just completed my Freshmen year of college and I will be home on Saturday.
I can honestly say running this race was the hardest thing I have ever done. If you haven't looked it up, in order to finish the race, I had to climb the wall twice, and it was over 5000 stairs. The race starts out on a flat path for about 2 minutes. Had I known what I was getting myself into, I would have cherished those two minutes for the rest of my life, because everything after that was unbelievable difficult.
We began to ascend our first mountain. We just kept climbing up this hill and I kept thinking to myself, we must go downhill at some point... (What goes up must come down) but it just never happened. For about two miles we just kept running up this hill and then the Wall came. Running up the wall the first time was not as bad as I thought. I kept moving and even though it was slow it didn't feel that terrible. The steps were uneven and steep so I had to be really careful not to slip. The wall was pretty congested with runners, but the view was amazing. I think the wall ended up only being like 2 miles of the race, but it felt like it went on forever, by the time I got off the wall it had been an hour and I had only completed an 8K (5 miles). After the first part the hills just kept on coming. It took me 3 hours to complete a half marathon. It was so hot, so hilly, and I at that point I was so worried I was not going to finish. By mile twelve we had yet to go down a single hill, and then I caught a break. We began to descend just a little. The roads that we were on were completely unpaved and rocky. I tried my best to resist going to fast down the hill so I wouldn't fall, but somewhere between mile 12 and 14 I tripped over a rock and completely face planted into the dirt. I think it knocked the wind out me a bit and I knew that my right leg was definitely bleeding. For a second I just wanted to lay there and have someone pick me up so I could go home, but I looked behind me and there was this women who did not look like she was going to help me, so I picked myself up, dusted myself off, and vowed I'd beat that girl to the finish.
While we were running around the village, there were hoards of Chinese people cheering us on and taking videos and pictures of us. I've really grown to be annoyed by that when I'm in Shanghai, but I put on my best smile as I ran by. They were all shouting "美女加油”which means "you can do it pretty girl". There were tons of little kids out watching us too. They would try to highfive us or run along side of us while trying to practice their english. By the 19th mile I stopped responding to them, I could speak if I wanted to.
As we made our way back to the wall for our second time, I really didn't think it was going to be that bad. I just kept telling myself that it would be over soon and I would be crossing the finish line. By the time I made it to my 21st mile 5 hours had already passed. Annie and I were going to miss our train back to Shanghai and it was up in the air where we were going to be able sleep that night. When I started to climb back up the wall, I really thought someone was going to have to air lift me off of it. It was a struggle to make it up each step. I was on my hands and knees crawling my way up. I knew I was out of energy, I tried to drink some Gatorade and water but my sugar was so low. Finally someone offered me one of their gels. (They gave gels out twice during the race, but they were two miles too late, if you ask me). I stopped a lot on the wall, trying to gain some strength to finish. At one point there was an older man in front of me and his leg seized up he almost fell back on me, and let me tell you we would not have survived that fall. Some guy climbing next to him grabbed the mans arm and helped him keep his balance. He looked back at me and said "that fall would have set you back" If I had any energy left at all I would have laughed but I thanked him and kept climbing.
The wall felt like it was never going to end. I remember climbing up it thinking " this is where I am going to die" I passed so many photographers up the wall and tried to smile but at one point I passed one and he could tell I was struggling he said "you're almost there". Well we both knew that wasn't true. I turned to him and saw that he had probably been sitting comfortably on the wall for a good 5 hours watching runner after runner struggle to make it past him. I looked at him and just muttered "Lies!" and climbed passed him.
After I finally finished the wall I still had over 2 miles to run. That was the first time I knew for sure that I was going to finish the race. I told myself that if I couldn't run two miles straight that all that training was for nothing and took myself to the finish line. I passed as many people as I could and kept my eye on the prize: a gold medal and a sense of accomplishment.
Annie was waiting there at the finish line for me. She got some great shots (see link below)
After the race I was really emotional but I didn't have any water left in my body for tears. I remember just how shocked I was. I looked pretty awful when I finished. My entire body was swelled like a balloon my leg and hands were both bleeding, my knee hurt so badly and all I wanted to do was curl up in a ball.
I couldn't though because Annie and I had to figure out how we were going to get home. Unfortunately all the other trains were completely booked. We ended up staying in a hotel near the train station. We got on the first bullet train out and we were back in Shanghai by 1:00pm on Sunday. Monday and Tuesday I completed all 4 of my finals and now I am packing up all my things to fly back to America.
After I finished the race, it felt like I could accomplish anything. All of my friends wrote me the sweetest notes about how proud they were of me. Whenever I'm out with them, it's the first thing they tell people. It's so nice to know I have people like that in my life, who will wake up extra early with you because they know its going to take you twice as long to walk to school. Or to even have someone willing enough to go to the race with you for the soul purpose of taking care of you. I could not be more blessed and its so bittersweet to have leave. I know that I will be leaving Shanghai the same way I came in August. Crying, wondering how I could ever leave home.

I am not deleting any of the bad photos of me, because I think I need to keep them as a reminder that I should never do this marathon again. So when I look tired in some of the photos, it's because I am. There is a video in the folder titled "Marathon video" Its my post race feelings... There are also random pictures of a couple who got engaged after they crossed the finish line. So cute, all I got was a medal, that girl got a ring... ahahaha
See you in a few days,
Much love from Shanghai
Maddie
