Last day at work

So my last day at work was really nice. Had a nice lunch at Ruby Tuesdays and then Lisa and Michelle S. threw a little party for me in the afternoon. It was very sweet and they gave me this great bag of goodies to get me through China. Most important items being toilet paper and hand sanitizer. Not sure how much use I will get out of the toilet seat covers as from what I hear, there are not many toilet seats. They also made me the coolest little passport looking guide to travel, complete with travel tips from everyone on the interpretive staff. Pretty much the coolest, most creative and nice thing ever! My ex-coworkers rock and I will miss them tons. Oh yeah, and Janet made me the best truffles I have ever had, seriously. They are oreo truffles and I need the recipe. I ate one and was in heaven. They even came in a cute little Chinese takeout box!

Other than that, next week is all preparing for the trip and trying to get a visa. It is looking like I might have to get a tourist visa and then switch to a student visa in China. Not sure yet though, I have to get this taken care of next week. Woohoo, I don't think it has hit me yet that I am actually going, hopefully it will before I land in Beijing!
