LORRAINE (LO) SMITH, Photography major, writes: I am excited about going on this trip! I am little distressed, because I've got to get this homework done. However, almost done. I am very interested to see how Shanghai has dealt with the new and the old. I am also excited that my best friend is in Beijing right now and it would be awesome if we could go shopping together. She's of American/Chinese descent and can haggle a good price for me. I've got to bring back gifts, or I cannot go home. Well, catch you later!
