I’m just going to go ahead and ramble a bit. Cathartic.
Shanghai is going well. I like being in this city and it’s good changing up my environment.
The job? It’s okay. It’s definitely not the professional teaching experience I was hoping for, but it pays the bills nicely. I am, however, already thinking about my lack of job satisfaction and that’s no good after not even 2 months!
I’m going to start looking around for something that utilizes my Chinese. Start looking around and considering options.
If nothing comes up, I may start looking for another teaching gig. This time with Chinese students. I need more Chinese in my life. It’s funny, I already get quite a bit, but I’m at the point where I have a strong desire to use my Chinese in a productive way. Hmmm…
I should be starting up with a tutor next month though and that should satisfy my itch for the time being.

Hi Emily,
Glad to hear you liked reading my blog! May I ask, were you a student of mine at 环亚?
haha,Jason,I am not your student. I just occasionally came across your blog.:)
Just a guess.
I gave out the address to the Chinese blog to my students while teaching at a center and they would sometime leave comments.
Anyway, nice to have you around!
“…i need more chinese in my life…” Amen brutha man, amen to that!

But then after you give your address to your students, you feel guilty writing articles about how lazy they are.
@Hek
It’s like a damn drug! When my life starts to veer away from a place where I’m using Chinese a lot, I start to go through withdrawal. Ah…good stuff.
@Clark
Haha. I sense a similar situation has come around and bit you in the ass, no? When I was at that center, I had little to no complaints about the students actually. This new gig on the other hand…
