With One Month Left...

So in case you can't tell, that's me wrapped up in the pretty little white comforter. (I should have draped used Kleenexes all over the couch for effect...) Welcome to my life of the last week-and-a-half. :-) OK- well, I haven't been on the couch like this CONSTANTLY- just when I've been at home. The rest of the time I've been working in spite of feeling this way. Crazy times.

My mom and grandma left here on the 22nd. We had a great time here in Hong Kong and I loved having my apartment filled with people- it made me happy. BUT I think I got to the point where I overdid it and my body's been rebelling ever since. But OH WELL! Like I said, LOVED having people here, but I won't lie- the night after they left I cranked up my music, took a LOOONG bubble bath, and RELAXED like I never have before. :-) Life is good.

Here's the latest: I FLY INTO SALT LAKE CITY AT 1:55 PM ON SUNDAY, APRIL 1. Do you all realize how SOON that is? Kind of freaks me out- I am SUPER excited to get back to normal life... but I have loved so much about everything here. I will miss people like crazy- and it will just seem SO weird to me that I am leaving behind this whole little life that I have created the past seven months here in Hong Kong. This whole experience has definitely made the world seem like a smaller place to me. It will be strange to be at home thinking, "Hey, it's 5 PM in Hong Kong right now... the 5:00 Golden Mickeys show is starting !" I'll wonder all about whatever everyone here is doing and yada yada... it will be weird because now this place is SUCH a part of me. The strangest thing is knowing that I will never see most of these people again. It weirds me out. Sigh. I miss them already. ANYWAY...

With all this time laying around and trying to get myself healthy again, I've had plenty of time to think about the many different things I'll do when I get home. The latest inspiration of my floating thoughts is that I want to dye my hair when I get home. A chocolate/caramel blend color. Yeah. And I can't stop thinking about the car I am gonna buy and the food I am gonna eat. On top of all this hair dying and car buying I'll be rehearsing for a show that opens 17 days after I get home. I have been cast as Millie in the West Valley Hale's production of Thoroughly Modern Millie. I am SUPER excited about it because I will be working with Andrea, my old roomie (She'll be playing Millie in the other cast), Jeff Stevens (who I graduated BYU with), and my friend Michelle who was in Crazy For You with me last summer! I honestly can not comprehend how much fun it will be to be around all those people again! I feel the 21 year old, social butterfly Amy emerging from her cocoon for the first time since 2002. WATCH OUT WORLD! (Seriously, it's a weird thought. I have played Miss Antisocial for several years now... school, YA's, work.. yada yada... I put a social life on the back burner).

In four weeks I won't have this really great job anymore... sniffle. So what's next on the agenda? Working at the chiropractor again? Nope nope... I think I'll work at a kiosk in the mall, you know, put that BFA to good use! Ha! No, I have no idea what will come next, but that's the fun of it all. Did I ever think I'd be in Hong Kong? Nope, definitely not. But here I am, and it's almost over. Weird.

I think there's a fire alarm going off in one of the towers next to me... hmmmm. Exciting!

Anyway, so that's the latest from Amy the Chinese Girl. Hope all is happy at home and wherever you are.
