sick

When we last left our heroine she was about to settle in for a movie night when suddenly...
Her friend called! He said that it was about time they met up in Beijing, as they had been planning to for weeks. So she showered (mind you I haven't learned how to work the warm water yet, so ive only taken FREEZING cold showers) and hopped over to lush for the night. The next day she stayed in, cleaning, shopping for Tide, sleeping and talking to friends. Her trusty phone went off around 5, and she made plans to meet up with friends for dinner and a movie that night. And so off she romped to school, wrapped in a sweatshirt and leggings for it was the beginning of many chilly nights. Upon meeting her friends she ventured to Pizza Hut, the equivilant to the Olive Garden in the States, and ate fast food pizza with fork and knife. After the movie, whihc ended at 1230, it took half and hour to return home. Upon arriving she descovered a terrible surprise! The door would not open! As much as she tried, her key would not do the trick. And so, sad and tired, she fell asleep outside her host families front door until 300. Waking up cold and stiff, Ashley grew unhappy and strove to open the door once more. This time, her key got stuck! As she attempted to free it from the lock (a noisy endeaver) her host father heard her and grumply let her in.
Yesterday she slept in, watched project runway, cleaned, did Homework and went to Bei Da for some dinner and a movie, (Prince Caspian in Chinese) and returned by 9:00, realizing that she was sick. Soar throat, post nasal drip, and feeling under the weather. But she was greated by a great surpirse! He host sisters had drawn her pictures! And she hung them up on her wall and then went to bed.
The End
