On CNY we went down the street to see the fireworks and they were so loud I couldn’t hear myself think. They were launching off every kind of firework you could possibly imagine. Next year we’ll be prepared to buy fireworks early because all the stores are closed by CNY. We tried to buy fireworks but there weren’t any left.
I have two new friends named Daniel and Rushil. (Rush-eel) Daniel lives in my neighborhood and Rushil lives biking distance from my house. I met them at school. Daniel and I sit next to each other on the bus.
When I first got in the house, I thought it looked much bigger than our old house… till I walked through it. The rooms are tiny, half of the house is stairs, and the master bedroom is not even the size of my old bedroom. The house is really nice, nicer than it looked in the pictures. I love it. It’s fun to play in it. There is a frog stuck in our backyard. He can’t get out because of our fence. I myself haven’t seen him yet but Ava and Henry told me about it.
The flight was hellish! I only got four hours of sleep, I almost spilled soup everywhere, and when I woke up at what was 1:00 AM in Baltimore, I felt sick. It feels like my jet lag is gone and I can’t wait to see the new house. I want to unpack all of my stuff and see it again. I have a lot of plans. I want to: collect Chinese opera masks and hang them on my wall, make new friends, skype my old friends to get their emails, pick out my cell phone, BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH ect. ect. The hotel is nice, I enjoyed the miso soup and tofu. I plan to learn to use chopsticks. I hope I have fun!
Im physically ready to move. But I still feel like were not going to move. When moving day comes, I’m going to go crazy! X_X I’m not ready to move. I’v been living in this house for my whole 9 years. Even in 3rd grade I never thought I would move. I think if my parents had prepared me for the fact that we would maybe move some day, I would be a little– a lot more mentally ready. It would also help if I had a say in the matter but when my dad got offered the job, he took it and told us all we were moving to China! China is on the other side of the world! I’v lived here my whole freakin life! I didn’t even have a say, I haven’t even visited China, and they never told me that there would be any reason we would move! I love my school, I don’t want to leave my friends, and It’ll be so hard to move! Well, theres nothing that’s gonna stop us from moving now, may as well stop jabbering. Mom and dad do have a good reason though, dad needs a good job. When Erickson went bankrupt and we sold it, everything went wrong.
My mom did say “The kids are both excited and terrified” but then she informed me that instead of 3-5 years in China, we may stay 3-SEVEN years. She also said we may move to a lot of different places after China. Colorado, Australia, etc. As a nine year old boy whose LIFE depends on the computer and the internet (as we have no t.v., wii, etc.) im gonna be without computer for a long time. Im gonna miss all my friends but there’s always Skype lol ^_^ but im not so sure im going to feel at home for at least six months. Lego Universe is closing down and that was my fav game at the moment. It was the best game iv played. Its shutting down on January 31st 2012 because their target audience is 9-13 year olds and less than half of the 2,000,000 players are their target audience less than half of the people who r their target audience r members. 😦 goodbye LU.
