Day 28 is the last day. Today, I will be writing about why I came to Microcampus. First of all, my intentions for going to Microcampus was a bit incorrect at first. I thought it would be fun to be living together with some of my friends for 28 days, however, Graham, an alumni told me that that should not be the reason why I came. So, the reasons that I had decided to go to Microcampus afterwards were different. I came to Microcampus, because I knew that it would be a very fun and productive experience.

Today was the due date for the final product. I just started working on the product, and wrote a script for the presentation, which was Mr. T's suggestion. I had kept on working and editing, and then asked Mr. T to look over. I decided that the presentation was pretty useless since all it had were bullet points, so I decided to upload the script instead. Today was pretty tiring.

Today, I woke up and headed for breakfast. The girls were almost going crazy because they wanted to know what we did during bro's night out. After a while of just walking around with all the guys, we all decided to just relax and do whatever we wanted, so I just played with my rubik's cube and read. After lunch, I decided to just work on my final product, and I felt really good about how I didn't have to hurry and feel anxious. Today was a very nice day, with sun shining.

Today, some of the evening activity committee had planned on a dance party starting at 7. However, their amp didn't work so there were no music, but me, Daniel and Bryce didn't plan on going and so instead, just played hackey sack for about an hour. Bryce had planned on just working on economic crysis, but me and Daniel followed him to try to help, but later on digressed to music and games. We just listened to music and browsed until around 9, and then Daniel left to his room, followed by me after few minutes.

Today, like any other day, was very normal. I had finished my Phase 3, and so I just relaxed for a while. At around 5, we all met and went to Dali Old Town to eat dinner. We decided to go eat pizza, but didn't find the legendary restaurant that Mr. T was talking about. Instead, we went to another pizza restaurant which was overpriced and small. We saw different shops like music shops and a poncho shop. We also went to a bakery which was famous for brownies but were out of stock. I returned back at around 8.

Today, I have started appreciating the center so much. Hot shower, beds, heaters... Everything was just. so. amazing. After breakfast, we started our SAS essentials, and I got really excited when I heard that I got a 100% for my math quiz. Afterwards, I just went around interviewing and collecting information for my project, and did bunch of other things, although I was just a little bit tired from the hike. I am so glad to be back at the center.

Today, I woke up, went by the temple and got my breakfast. We had a dough and also had some side dishes like tomatoes with eggs. When we started hiking, I was so relieved, since I didn't have to carry our heavy backpacks. We then started off, with our light backpack only with lunch and water. We went up qutie high, around 3200 kilometers above sea level, and we could also hike a bit farther up. Me and some other guys went up, and although the view was amazing, we ran out of time so we couldn't reach the peak, which was dissapointing.

Today started off very normally. I woke up at morning, pitched in, ate lunch, and did WIPPIT. Right after dinner, we all met up at the terrace and Mr. T started explaining all the things that we needed for the hike, and also talked a little bit about it. As soon as he finished, me and my roommates started packing our things, and also chatted about who would share the tent with whom. It wasn't too hard, but I kind of had to browse through the room to find some things. I was very excited.

Today, I woke up, finding myself at a tent, quite cozy. As I stepped out, I could see the beautiful sunrise of Erhai. Shortly after, I had dismantled my tent that took a long while to build, and we all biked our way back. Upon arriving, I ate a bit of breakfast and had free time, where I just spent that time working on things and also just relaxing. During lunch, I went to the square where the baba festival took place, and I got to make one. Shortly after, I returned and played some pool and ping pong at the game room, and went to the gym and to the punching bag.

Today was very tiring. We all rode a bus to a nearby mosque, where we watched the Muslims do their lunch prayers. Afterwards, we had hiked for three hours, and it was straight up tiring. During the hike, I was able to see some tombs, and I was told that Muslims had faced towards the Mecca, and it showed the day it was rebuilt, the date of death and their role as family. Also, as I was coming back, we all said happy new year to each other, and the villagers. It was tiring, but it was fun.

Today, I had a lot of fun. We had a normal day, starting out with breakfast, essentials and the meeting. During WIPPIT time, we all rode our bikes, following Mr. T to different areas like Erhai and different villages. The areas and the landscape were amazing, and so it was a lot of fun. Afterwards, we basically had a normal day for the rest of the time. I don't really like biking, and I'd rather choose to go to the gym and on to the punching bag, but it was fun and I will do it for wellness time over time.

Today was pretty amazing. We woke up at 7, but we did have some trouble getting to the dining room by 7:30. After the breakfast, we took a walk around the village where we took looks at different places and people. Afterwars, we ate lunch at the village itself, where I ate a dough with meat and vegetables in it, which was pretty tasty. I had some time left, so I took a walk around with one of my buddies, where I visited the antique shop owned by a Hui minority, and I had found out they were Muslim. I also visited the jewlery shop, and it was weird how he knew I was Korean.

Today was awesome! The only thing that sucked was the fact that I had to wake up at around 4 am in the morning to go to Hongqiao airport, ride the plane for around 3 hours, then take a bus ride that took twice as long. We are dinner, unpacked and met the staffs and so I'm pretty pumped up for this whole thing. I might be homesick halfway, but I could always call my parents at night, and I'm probably gonna settle myself down at the Linden center, and I'm gonna miss that when I get back home. Now, I am really tired after doing all sorts of things, so I'll get to sleep in a second.
