Why A Blog?

Greetings all,
I am Simone Mollock, a law student from the University of Baltimore.  I am going to study law in China!!  I have decided to chronicle the adventures, setbacks and successes I experience while studying abroad and compare them always to life in Baltimore.
I depart the United States on July 22, 2009 with my seven year-old daughter, Allison, and will spend four weeks in Shanghai where I will meet with my language tutor in preparation for the school year ahead. Hopefully, we will have lots of stories to tell...I know Allison is already practicing her Chinese!
Beginning in September 2009, I will commence classes at Shandong University (taught in Chinese!!) and live with my youngest daughter, Olivia, in Jinan city for the entire school year.  

Please feel free to drop me a line or ask me questions at my email address simone.mollock@gmail.com. You can also friend me on Facebook. I can't wait to hear from you!
