Preparing to leave

Hi!

My name is Erik Lutz, I am a third-year business major at Wartburg College and I am preparing to leave for China for our May-Term class. I will be updating all of you with what we are doing in China for Interdisciplinary 304: China In Transition.

So, I am sitting on the computer watching baseball instead of packing. My suitcase lies on the floor virtually empty. I have packed a pair of dress shoes, dress pants, dress shirt, and 3 pairs of shorts. I don't even know where to start. I misplaced my sheet that had a recommended packing guide. I found one on the internet, but I typically pack very heavy.

I am doing research in China about the rise in popularity of basketball in China. I thought with the Olympics and Yao Ming, this would be a a very successful topic. I plan on interviewing students about sports they enjoy and hopefully Shawn (Lee) and Jarrett (Williams) and I can get some pick up basketball games going.

Tomorrow night, Shawn, Jarrett, and I are heading to my Aunts house in Cedar Rapids to break up our traveling on Tuesday. We fly from Cedar Rapids to O'hare Airport in Chicago to Shanghai (fifteen hours!!!).

For now, I am going to attempt to pack.

China Bound,

Erik
