Sorry guys! We had the internet for about six hours the last time that I updated, and then POOF! It was gone again! It got to the point that I stopped turning on my computer because I was tired of feeling let down! Well, today my fellow teacher Jones called me right before I was going to get some food to let me know that TA-DA! it was up! I said a ( Read more... )

BUT my internet has been spotty at best for the last few days ( Read more... )

You KNOW it's been a while since you updated when your Mother tells you that you need to update ASAP! This may be a two day update because a LOT has happened this week and I don't want it to get overwhelming! SO last Monday I went with Flannery to observe her teaching style for both our writing classes and the oral classes. It was really helpful ( Read more... )

It's pretty sad! I'm a full addict! We didn't have internet access for 24 hours and I was all antsy the whole day! I didn't know what to do with myself since pretty much the ONLY thing I had planned out for the week was to write my mass e-mail on Sunday. Well, that didn't quite happen but I'll write it later today I'm sure ( Read more... )

Sooooo it's about 12:30 here, and I should probably be asleep. It's probably good that I wasn't. Let me tell you why ( Read more... )

I have one knife, and trust me kids, it's a sharp one. I don't really feel like making a sandwich, that's not what I want. I just want peanut butter. What can I say? So. I don' ( Read more... )

So it looks like I have a few days to catch up on now! So let me see, I've arrived in Wuhan and basically passed out. What a start! Jet lag proved a MUCH longer adjustment this time than other times, and I'm not exactly sure why. But I think I have finally gotten over the worst of it - in fact I'm sure of it! I now have trouble getting up in time ( Read more... )

To be honest, I'm writing this journal in a large part for myself, since this will probably be a year that I won't want to forget! I only mention this because I'm going to try to be as detail-oriented as possible and my entries may be rather long. Okay, enough warning, let's fly to Wuhan ( Read more... )

Woah...what a start! First things first, how bout you meet the cast for the next year of my life? We've got The Scotts- Flannery and Andy, who happen to be my closest neighbors and live upstairs; Christine Jones, who goes by Jones and will be called that from now on; Katie Derner; Lilia Glubisz, err....however you spell that; and my SAI sisters ( Read more... )
