Holidays!

This year's Christmas was rather fun. The Saturday before, just when Phil and I got back from our awards ceremony, Ashley had a big dinner at her place. There was good food, good friends, and mad libs. And Xiao Zhao and I carried on like idiots for most of the evening. Fun!

Christmas Eve and Christmas were strange, with us traveling all over Nanchong looking for free food and drinks. Sometimes we found them, sometimes we paid. But we had a good time being together. Durf ended up in a couple of shows, Xiao Zhao busted out the best dance moves, Phil jumped in some bushes, Ashley and I ended up singing endless Christmas carols outside of the BABI, while drunk people passed us shouting.. "This is your spring festival, isn't it!!"

The day after Christmas, I decided that I wanted blue hair for the winter break. And so now my hair is midnight blue. I sort of look like an evil mermaid. I love it! It almost looks black, but when the sun is on it fully, it is very blue. The general opinion of everyone is that it looks good, (although of course Erica hates it.) I went to hotpot with some students last night who think I look Chinese now, which is strange for me. I have blue hair and I'm fitting in more than ever.

Things here are busy, despite classes being over. Holly is coming tomorrow! Sadly, her visit is at the same time as Durf's Chengdu show, but since I'll be going out to Nanjing after final exams, I guess it's okay that I won't see her very much. Instead I'm just concentrating on getting the house clean enough so that she'll be comfy here whilst I am away.

Okay, I'm off now. Yang Qiu is making Jiaozi for lunch!
