hello beijing

So I am leaving SH today at 3pm.
Hoping it is a smooth flight. Didn't sleep all that well last night.

Sue and Megan brought me to Mr Pancake House 2 nights ago and as always, the girl talk was crazy/ wild. Though normally talkative, I am the quiet one laughing the most when I am out with those two. I will really miss them.  More than happy times, they are friends I can go to when I have anything that is bothering me. I implicitly trust those two.

And last night of course, my colleagues Leo and Matt took me to our favorite burgers and wine place. I was a little tired after working the whole day but it was also great to have some bonding time with them before I fly.  Matt is really different when he is out. At work he is tough and demanding, so I kind of like the change.  He really cracks me up.  Work wise, he has taught me to enjoy numbers. (FYI I HATE MATH!!!)  I am not as put off as I used to be. So hope that quality transcends a bit more.

So a few thoughts about leaving.
First, the three months have taught me so much about independence. It's been great.  I am a lot more cautious when I am alone.  So I learned a lot about myself- some good, some opportunities for improvement, but overall, I like the state of mind I'm in now.
I am more aware of the person that I've become and I always pray that this onwards and upwards trend is just one long continuous neverending process for me as I get better and better with my work and opportunities here.  Let there be challenges and let me be chill all the time!

May I never lose sight of all the things I've learned and may all these things come together and continue to build me into the best individual.  Success comes to those who make use of their opportunities and find a good lesson in everything that they encounter.  One day may I will get to that point that I will be happy and content. A stage where I will be comfortable in every way and be the one giving my time and assistance to friends I will meet along the way.

According to MBTI, I am ENFP.  I am a people person and a humanitarian. I believe that the time will come when I will make a difference in people's lives.  It won't be long now.  A positive and a happy interceder of sorts.  So I want to be doing something good for the world and the universe!

So with that in mind, I am moving out of the shenanigans state that I was in when I first landed in Shanghai and into the benevolent aura I bring into cultural Beijing.
