so i'm back in america now.

study abroad is over.

but i guess the coolest part is how God's still showing himself. at the airport in shanghai, i almost lost my textbook. i was so tired and i left it in the luggage cart and walked away, actually sitting down for a good hour before i realized i had left it while lining up to board the plane. i went back and found the cart, with my textbook, which i need for an essay due on sunday, right where i left it.

a big part of this trip to china was having my stereotypes and misconceptions about china and chinese people broken. i thought that in china, if you left anything anywhere, it was sure to be stolen. i'm sure that not everyone wants to steal my textbook on china and the world, international relations and economics, but to me, it was God's grace.

and now, i get to write an essay. whoopdeedoo.
