Your Friends Are So Nice

Your friends Are So Nice

Spring 2013

I just heard from Carina.  In her message, she makes reference to my friend, Miriam who lives in Germany.  I never met Miriam.  She found me on LinkedIn and asked to connect with me.  When I was getting my Chinese students on LinkedIn, I wanted to connect them to as many people as possible so they would have aa better sense of the world.  I just randomly suggested that Miriam and Carina connect and they did.  Miriam has been wonderful in keeping in touch with Carina.

Hi, Bredget

I am so surprised and happy to get your message.

I am good, but busy. I have 15 classes every week, I am doing the website and newsletter, lost of meetings, and also I am preparing the IELTS, a language test that similar to TOEFL, cause I am preparing for applying marketing major for my postgraduate abroad, so lots of stress, I have already forgotten the feeling about shopping, watching TV, hanging out with friends, my life has been filled with study, work, meetings and tests.

I have just talked about this with Miriam the other day, she is so nice and helped me sort out of my thoughts, I am really a little bit of lost recently.

How about you? Are you busy? What are you doing everyday? I miss you so much and everyone is missing you, we talk about you sometimes, and yesterday we heared that you are not coming to Sias this year, so sad that we can not see you in May.

Our tomb sweeping day is coming, we have 3 days off, so I descide to take this chance to go travelling and relax a little bit. It's so funny that Miriam asked me,"Where do you want to travel to? Visiting Europe?If you come,you must come and visit me" I was like, wow, Europe, I have not thought about that right now, but I will, and I will visit all of you. But the questions she asked made me so happy and moved, Bredget, how could you be so nice and also your friend are so nice too? I love you both so much

xoxo

Love you

Carina
