It’s time to explain what I’ve been up to since July, when I went back home to my parents. My last few weeks in London were pretty crazy. I tried to meet up with as many friends as I could as I knew I wouldn’t see them for a few months perhaps. I learnt to say ‘yes’ to nearly everything and ended up walking back home by myself at odd hours of the night which in hindsight was rather stupid of me.
I left London on 9th July, my mum was leaving for China a couple of days later so I went back to spend some time with her, help her prepare to travel and for her to hand over the house to me before she went away. I was sad to leave London, my friends, my nice flat and the busy social scene but at the same time I was really excited to be going back to China and be in Beijing during the Olympics!
Anyway, I was bumming around for the first couple of weeks – dad was away on a business trip somewhere so I was by myself and in charge of the house and looking after our cat, Simba. Well, it did give me the chance to refine my cooking, get more domesticated cleaning such a big house and also spend some quiet time alone taking walks on the beach, reading, doing yoga etc. No wild parties I’m afraid – we’re pretty good friends with our neighbours and I think my parents would kill me if I ruined their months of networking in one night. I think my cat benefited most during this time because I spoiled him rotten and let him sleep on my bed.
All this time I couldn’t wait to go back to China! I was so excited by all the articles I’d seen in the news and on the internet about the hype in the build up to the Olympics, I was really praying for everything to go smoothly and to have a great experience. Beijing did not disappoint.
Anyway, I need to get up early and start on my neuro progenitor cell essay tomorrow so my next instalment will be on China!
