Hiya, sorry havent spoken in ages, been busy with sixth form and revision and treking round portsmouth and southsea for tutorials. Need to speak on skype soon to have a proper conversation, mum has ordered a skype phone so that will be handy.
Can believe its been nearly a month, only about 9 months or so to go woooo.
Its wednesday have no lessons today spent the morning in southsea doing chemistry :s very interesting. Mum believes i am going to run and as she said 'hook' up with my biology tutor because hes doing a phd in environmental marine biology and she made it clear to everyone in the supermarket she didnt want me 'hooking up' with him. Clearly mum reallly knows the kind of guys i like, or just makes assumptions i like geeky men. Brilliant.
Anyway hope your well, and mark did mention being really busy as theres a 3 day holiday or somthing coming up.
All my love xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Rachel

Bonjour from Paris Hey Kat!
Great idea to keep a blog. Hope you are settling in OK, hows the job going?
Loved that you heard about the French girl and are tracking her down. Don't let her go!!! Have you managed to make any Chinese friends yet?
Keep in touch! xx
Hey!! Hey Kat,
I'm glad you arrived ok and hopefully are now settling in a little more! Have you had a good first few days? Have you found any other foreigners?! I started work on Thursday as well! Was really nervous but it's all going well so far. There's just so much to learn it's ridiculous! Also a little strange to think I have a "real" job and am now officially doing the daily commute to London! I've already decided (after 2 days) that getting up at 6am to get to work on time is not fun!! Hopefully I'll get used to it soon!!
Keep in touch yeah! Missing you!!

So after possibly THE most stressful experience of my life trying to get a Chinese work visa sorted and hundreds of pounds worth of phone calls to find a F11 form, which apparently I am now told doesn't even exist (???!!) I am ready to go! Ningbo... here I come!
I am off to China for a year working and hopefully to have another amazing year abroad! So I am setting off on Monday 23rd of August, eek only 3 days away! It is likely that I will be cut off from the rest of the world for some time (I like to make it sound more dramatic than it is!) as facebook, twitter, youtube (how will I live?... full info
