37 Days Left in Shanghai

The title of this post makes me a bit sad. I can't believe I've been in Shanghai for that long! Thanksgiving is in exactly two weeks, and the weekend before Thanksgiving, a big group of us are going to Beijing--something I'm really excited about.

Shanghai has been getting really cold. I had to buy a big jacket the other day because I only brought one pea coat. Originally, I had packed a lot of sweaters and thick clothing, but my luggage was too heavy, so I threw some things out. I really regret doing that because I actually need those clothes now! It's okay... buying cheap clothes here works for me too =)

I have to register for my Winter classes tonight. I am planning on overloading this next quarter again... but one of my classes has already filled up, so I am hoping to get wait-listed. If I take my 24 units this quarter, I can take it easy with 20 units my last quarter at SCU. I am planning on graduating a year early, but am still unsure of my plans after graduation. I should probably start looking into different career options.

Studying abroad has made me realize how much of the world I still haven't seen. I used to think that I would always stay in California and the Silicon Valley area for work and raising a family. But, I think I should travel to different places while I'm young. I wouldn't mind going to the East Coast or somewhere outside of California to work for a couple of years. But, it all just depends on what options are viable for me. If I can't find anything to do after graduation, should I declare a second major? Thinking about this gets me so frustrated! I'll probably have to take more time to consider my future plans...

The following pictures were taken a couple of days ago, when a bunch of us just randomly decided to go to Hooter's in Pudong and just walk around the Bund. Enjoy =)
