Happy Children's day!

Hi there

Hope you're all doing OK, last day before weekend starts! Today, in China, it's Children's day! I don't really know what that means, but I guess kids get spoiled. Something similar to Motherday of Fatherday. Do we have that in Belgium? :/ Didn't go that often to class this week, don't really feel like going every day anymore. Which makes sense, these last weeks I'm not planning to go that often, trying enjoy the summer here in BJ. I already started packing my suitcase, I know, sounds ridiculous. I'm leaving most of my stuff here in Beijing, I'm only taking some clothes back home and my laptop. No need to drag all my stuff back to Belgium, because I'll be back in Beijing somewhere in October. In the meanwhile, I'll leave all my winterclothes, shoes, bags, etc. at my friends' place. He's moving next week, so I need to be sure my stuff are also packed and ready to move his new apartement. Beetje organiseren en vooruit denken hé, a little bit German, lol.

This week was kinda quite, didn't really planned a lot for in the evenings. Came home from class, had dinner with some friends and stayed in with them and my roommates and usually watched some DVD's or Chinese TV with them. I went to Wangfujing bookstore yesterday, after 9 months, lol. Big ass store where you can buy books, DVD's, loads of stuff. I was so happy with my purchase, I bought a Chinese-English dictionary. Let me learn all the words in that book and I'll think I'll nail HSK 6 when I come back to BJ, lol. I'm planning to take level 5 somewhere in December this year, but my teacher adviced me to take 6 as well. She's crazy, she wants me to study all the words of level 6 this summer, means 2500 characters. If I can accomplish that, I'll just need to study the grammar when I come back to Hutong school and I could do level 6 as well by December, or try at least. My goal was taking HSK 6 next June.

When she said that, I bursted out in laughing, 2500 characters in 4 months, understanding, knowing how to write, knowing how to use and memorising the whole time. Challenge? Accepted! I'm gonna try anyways, don't really have problems with writing, but I do have problems with memorising the translation to English. Boohhh! 

Alright, time to log off and get ready for class.

I'll keep you updated.

Kisses from beijing!
