Hello all!
Well, my internet is rather in-an-out, so this has to be short! So much has happened in the last few weeks . . . where to begin? I feel super busy, which makes the time go by fast. I am missing my friends and family, but I barely have the time to think about that! Thursday makes one month here in China. WOW. I'm surviving, though. I'm helping with the youth group here, as well as helping "coach" volleyball with my roommate, Diane. Yeah, I know. I've never played a game of volleyball in my life, but I love spending time with the girls (9th and 10th graders--a lot of my students). Things are good. I like my classes, and the teaching load is great. I actually have time to eat lunch, plan, and grade papers. It's amazing. I haven't stayed at school past 6:30 yet. Diane and I have been inviting a ton of people over to our apartment for dinner, and we are always planning our next outing.
On Sunday a group of us went into PuShi for go-karting and eating at a Brazilian meat buffet for the birthday of another teacher. So much fun! Let me just tell you, though, I could have died. You don't have to wear helmets, and you don't sign any waivers or anything--it was kinda dangerous ("We're cheating death--we're cheating death and having fun at the same time!") Anyway, I did take a major hit when another teacher ran right into me . . . I'm ok, though. I like to speed!!! Anyway, then on to eat--yum. Lots of beautiful meat!!! They brought the meat out on skwers and just carved it off on your plate---sooooooo good. We stuffed our faces! It was fun and it was nice to see another beautiful part of this very very large city! I've had two foot massages in the last two weeks--so cheap here. I am blessed! :)
Well, I must go . . . my bed calls. I need my rest for "Back to School Night" where I get to meet my students' parents!!! Fun, fun!
Love and miss you all!!!!!!!
