catching up

---

Yeah!! The Internet is working at normal speed! So I can now catch up on all that went on while the Internet took a break.

School finished with a bang! I can now say I made it through a semester of teaching with out to much heartache and next semester I know what I have to do and how to prepare.

I got to know Alaina and Ruth much better. I am now addicted to Bollywood and Indian music. And I do believe that my next teaching job will be India. I am in love with that country and its *cough * cough** men, well one man.

I went to Wafugin with Alaina and when I am with her I do things I would never do alone note the pictures of me eating crickets on a stick. We also went to the Llama temple which was wierd experience.

I found a book to study the GRE. Because I will be coming back and going back to school to get my masters in education so that I can teach history instead of ESL. And while a piece of my heart will always be in China I really want to continue my travels and with a masters I can teach expates or in the military and get paid much better than as an esl teacher.

Middle School
This class drove me crazy. The boys were so hard to keep interested. But the boys although poor students were really very sweet.

Llama temple
This working temple in Beijing was very busy with people burning incense kowtowing. It was very erie.

Wow - grasshoppers on a stick! You are one brave lady. Were they at least covered in chocolate?

I was so proud of you for actually eating them. I didn't think you'd do it! Is it my craziness that makes you do things that you wouldn't otherwise do??? :)
