Internet access is very random in this city known as Yanji. And so updates of my life here will also be very random. In fact, every aspect of my life feels very random here. I am currently typing on a table that is teetering back and forth as I write, making it extremely difficult to type with much accuracy or speed. Strange. Random. Mind-numbing. I find it very hard to write about what has been happening, as it blurs in my mind. My first day of work was on Christmas Day. Two teachers didn't come in, and so I taught their [View Full Entry]
And so I didn't go to Australia, thinking that I wouldn't have the funds, and now I find myself in Yanji. What a place! They heat with coal, making the air so smoggy that it is worse than Beijing!! The sun is shining today, but I still cannot see the hills I know are in the distance. And it's freezing here. Even up until my flight yesterday, I was debating whether or not to come here. The upside is that the people at the school are very nice, and they are desparate to have me. This is because there are very [View Full Entry]

I jumped in the shower, relishing the feeling of being clean before my long travel. I headed downstairs and had a bowl of cereal. As I was eating, my brother Joe came down the steps, [View Full Entry]

My head spins. What did I even do today? This morning seems so long ago. TICK, TICK, TICK. The ticking of the clock drove wedges into my brain, making it difficult to sleep. Luckily, my sheer exhaustion allowed me to pass out for a few hours during the night. Phyllis' alarm clock went off six times between 6am to 7am. I lay on the sofa, wide awake and listening to the chimes. After Phyllis finally arose from bed, we puttered around and chatted about the things we had to accomplish that day: Bank, police station, work visa, phone, key copy, etcetera. [View Full Entry]
