The sun was super bright and hot today!
It was amazing!
#ItsTheLittleThings
After having been 'stuck' all day in windowless rooms,
I had to get out for a bit once my work was finished!
The plan was just to sort of meander around, mostly campus
maybe a bit down RenMin Luo 人民路.
An hour and a half later, with blisters on both feet from
the sandals I didn't bother changing due to
it 'only' being a short walk, I hobbled back onto campus
and grabbed some dinner.
I went down a couple roads I've not been down in a long time,
and some I have never ventured on!
At the beginning of my walk I looked down one path and
made a mental note to someday find where it led,only to find that the
turns I took later in my walk found me right back at that very spot!
It allowed me to view campus from a side I've never seen before,
which I thought was really awesome!
#ItsTheLittleThings
All throughout my walk, though, what struck me
was how pretty this city is and how much I am going to miss
living here. Not even two months now before I head back to
the States! OH MY GOODNESS I'M GOING TO AMERICA!
#ItsTheLittleThings
Funny enough, I got stared at more during this walk then I have
been in forever. Not sure if it was due to wearing a tank top
and it being all the more evident just how white I am,
or what the deal was. People were actually slowing their cars and
bikes down to look! haha! A couple times I got pretty self conscious
and had to look down to see if there was something wrong!
I was able to walk long enough to get blisters on my feet!
#ItsTheLittleThings!
See, its not just my campus that's beautiful!
Xinzheng is a nice place to live!
I was being poetic in my head when I took this photo.
The steps lead up to a wall. So, they go nowhere at the moment.
BUT, when whatever is on the other side of that wall is finished,
they will already be ready for it. I was thinking of how this
is the way we should be in our lives. We are told to be ready at
a moments notice, to ask without wavering or shadow of doubt.
I like the story told in the movie 'Facing the Giants'
of the man who goes out to plant his field even though
there has not been rain in weeks. He was preparing for rain.
I feel like that is what this photo shows. They are prepared for
the way when it comes, and they know that it will be there at some point
even though here {in China} things can change so quickly as well as take forever to complete.
Yeah...I got that all from a staircase up to a blue metal wall!
You can't really see them, but there was a row of birds sitting on the
line out in the street tonight when I went out for another stroll.....
ok, I went out and got ice cream/a popsicle.
They were cute!
