Today is an incredibly heavy day for me. My heart is broken. I hope to never have this feeling again, and yet, I don't believe that is a possible desire.
Got bit by a ✨ mystery ✨ bug on my arm, the bite became all inflamed and flaky, now it kind of has a mild burning sensation... Check on me tomorrow please to make sure I haven't perished.
I had planned on going to bed early... But here I am after midnight watching Jujutsu Kaisen ✨ there are few things in this world that bring me as much joy as curling up with a hot drink, snacks, and spending time with my favourite fella - Gojo Satoru
As of Thursday at 3:15, I'm off work until Saturday oct. 7th (which is very exciting for me). During this time - I'm going to explore my city some more, do a bit of shopping, see some friends, and learn more Mandarin (my hope is to be able to complete HSK levels 1 - 3 by Feb).
Oh, how I am missing my love today. We had a virtual birthday celebration together yesterday, but missing important occasions is so hard. All I want to do is give him a great big hug 💗🫰🏻
I found a dim sum place that's nearby that has all of my favourite things - my favourite steamed bun, amazing selection of congee and dumplings, and so many other dishes 🤤 brunch on a Saturday could not be more perfect ✨
One of the greatest gifts my student teaching gave me was meeting my teacher bestie last year (my mentor turned bestie). She's off teaching in a new area of her country, and I'm here in China - but we still talk regularly and hear about one another's week 💖✨
Today was rough. I burned the rough of my mouth eating a steamy bao at lunch time, then this afternoon I had to scold one of my classes which made me feel sad. Finally, my students have accidentally ruined my life by telling me spoilers of my favourite series. 😭😭😭
@ashleydhow Thank you so much Ashley! I'm looking forward to trying some new things! Oh my goodness, it's so painful to see the price increase on the foods we enjoy 🥺
My mission tomorrow: buy half a duck. Then I shall get groceries for salad / duck sandwiches. Now that I have my first official pay, I think I'll get a rice cooker too ☺️ Eating out is pretty cheap, but I wouldn't mind making food a few times a week at home
In other news, the miniso stores here are fabulous and I'm nervous about how much shopping I'll want to do during Golden holiday.... Less than two weeks away!
