Midterm Madness and the Beach

Well, it's official I've been forced to study! This past week I have been studying like crazy for my midterm exams (3 down, 1 to go...1 of my classes doesn't have a midterm!) Two of the three exams weren't too bad, but my Finance midterm was by far the hardest test I have ever taken (in my life!) The good thing is everyone in my class felt that way, so hopefully the curve will be in my favor = ).

Last weekend I went to Causeway Bay Beach, where I got some much needed sun and relaxation. I also met some more Lingnan exchange students from Vietnam and Mexico (I love meeting new people, and learning about their backgrounds, culture, traditions, etc). Did I forget to mention the weather here is gorgeous, just about 80 everyday with a nice breeze! Sorry, but I just have to rub it in since I know it's getting chillier everyday in Illinois! haha

This weekend I went to Ocean Park with some friends. Well there we got to see a lot of marine life and ride a few rollercoasters! The highlight of this excursion was definitely seeing the famous Asian pandas!! They were so cute! Once night came at Ocean Park, the family friendly zone turned into a very large haunted house! The HK people are great at makeup and costumes!! Scary, but lots of fun!

My parents will be arriving in Hong Kong in less than 2 weeks, so I have started to plan their itinerary! Hopefully, they will approve of my tour-guiding skills!
