unable to contain excitment

Shanghai. Gold Coast. Bandung. and possibly Bali.
It is safe to say that I will not be available until the 10th of February.

I'm so excited!

firstly, I will be going to Shanghai for 3 weeks under the Chinese Incountry Program with monash. yes, I will be learning mandarin, from the very basic. To be honest, I feel a little bit scared at the same time excited. It will be my first time being out of the country for that long alone and actually living the independent oversea student life. It didn't take much to actually convince my dad to let me go for the program although he did offer to send my mum along with me. I REFUSED. For the first time in my life, I want to try doing things on my own and not having anyone watch over me. I can't wait to wear coats, boots and other beautiful winter outfits! I can't wait to SHOP!!! seriously, I should be studying instead of blogging now. but all I can think of right now is googling where the shopping places are located, how far they are from the place I will be staying at and how to get there. train, bus or taxi, whatever it is I MUST GET TO THE SHOPPING PLACES! then maybe a little sight seeing. I'm a little scared of bringing any valuable item since the mugging experience I had a while back, so I am going to just bring a longchamp instead of my other bags. I hope to take LOADS of beautiful pictures there too with both my dlsr and diana. and I'm seriously hoping that there is going to be WIFI in the room so I can blog more while I'm there. I'm just so excited and I'm mumbling everything here. Maybe instead of mumbling, I should do something useful like make a list of what to buy before I leave.
here goes;

1. 120mm films for Diana
2. get a longchamp le pliage
3. stationaries (not forgetting I will be there to "study")
4. dictionary
5. travel book/map of shanghai

hmm... that's all I can think of right now...
when I have the time, I'm gonna google more on what to do in shanghai and put it here so I won't forget!

I like traveling, I don't do it often enough, really. It's only this year that I demanded to travel more.

I shall leave this post for now. I have 3 more chapters to go for Int Managament! :( and i MUST finish today as tomorrow is Marketing Law day! oh, did I forget to mention that i have not sat for any of my exams yet? well yea, so my countdown is 0 down and 4 more to go.

no more procrastinating. BYE!
