Hey everyone!! Sorry I haven't updated in awhile, its been a very crazy few weeks since I have been trying to adjust back to my daily routine since Scott's passing (post before this one). Not to worry though I am doing well and still having a great time here! You know what is really crazy? My experience here is almost over as I am coming back so soon! Weird right? I felt like I just got here and I hate to say it but I am not ready to leave just yet!

In the past couple of weeks I have been really busy because now it is past mid-terms (I didn't have any! yay!!) and now tons of assignments are due and things are getting a bit more hectic. 2 weekends ago I went back to Thailand for my cousins wedding! It was absolutely beautiful and I had an amazing 4 day weekend again with my family. I got to see my grandma again which is always the best but I was so sad when I had to go back to Singapore. I actually plan on going back AGAIN to Thailand after my final on May 5th for a week with my friend Cathy to explore more of Bangkok and also go down south to Phuket! Sounds exciting eh?

Also in the next month or so I plan on going on a few trips for Good Friday as well as Reading Week (aka Scranton's Dead Week) except I think it is for 2 weeks rather than one. So me and Cathy were thinking about heading to Perth, Australia on the weekend of Good Friday for 5 days if not possibly going to Malaysia for some sky-diving! For Reading Week I may go to Hong Kong and Macau to do some site seeing with my friend Phil from Manchester, UK since we haven't been yet (and he is a 2nd semester exchange student!) so it should be fun. If not I am thinking Vietnam and/or Cambodia. It is still all up in the air as I am still trying to plan how much time I have! Time flies so much when you are having fun and studying!

I hope everyone is having a good time this semester. For you seniors in high school considering U of S as a choice of school, PICK IT! If not at least come by one more time to campus to help make a final decision haha! I miss Scranton and I can't wait to come back, but in reality I am going to be coming back for my final year and it makes me so sad because I felt like I just graduated high school and was on my way to Scranton for my freshman year.

Spring is coming yes!!! Below are a few pictures from the wedding!

Take care!
