One Month Left

Today is kind of "advent" for me (in Sweden we light a candle on Sunday four weeks before Christmas and for each week that passes we light one more till we have four candles at the Christmas weekend. The first Sunday is called the first advent) but instead starting the countdown to Christmas I start the countdown till I go home. Where did October go? Feels like the days pass so quickly.

Yesterday we had the Test Of Proficiency (TOP, it's an official test in Chinese) for beginners to see how much Chinese we know. The test involves listening and reading comprehension. I think I did well, although I estimated the time wrong and did not answered the last question.

Last night when I sat on my bed with my back against the wall and watched TV I felt the bed was shaking first a little and I thought I just imagined that, but then it shook once a again a little bit more. That was my first earthquake.
