1. Host a hot pot party.
2. Stay for one full day and / or spend the night at the orphanage.
3. Visit the library on campus.
4. Go roller-skating (again).
5. Rent a bicycle. Ride it around. Buy some fruit.

An idea for giving away your stuff if you like: we held an "auction" where everyone was given "100 points". They could bid with their points on the things they wanted. That way, people were more likely to get stuff they really wanted. Some people bid all 100 points on something at the beginning, some bid by 10s and 20s and such. I had fun being the auctioneer. :) We also had free stuff that they could just take, wasn't worth bidding on (half-used shampoo bottles, etc). It was a fun party. :) What's up next for you?

Please stay with a friend when you stay at a hotel. :)

I wish I could be there to enjoy your semester. Your list inspires me to start my own list for the next semester.

We will miss you but are excited about your adventures.

Love the auction idea Erica. I can see how that would make them feel more comfortable about taking the items too. Thanks for the encouragement Norm and Joyce. Mom, does an imaginary friend count?
