Hello from Weihai!

I'm currently writing this at 6:40 in the AM from my little apartment in Weihai, China! 

I'll blog in depth about the last 24 hours later, but for now, just know that China is everything I thought it would be, and everything I never expected it to be, and I'm already loving it here (hard beds, no heat, nasty showers, homeless kitties that wail in our hall, giant lumps of kale for dinner, and all). I keep on saying to myself: "TIC" or "this is China." 

And as I fell asleep last night, I kept on thinking:

"my name is Chelsie...and I am in China!"
