That's me as Daphne from Scoobie Doo. I feel like for just using what i already had it came together fairly well. I don't think anyone in China got it, but maybe they would back home :)
Last Thursday (the last day I teach during the week) I changed my work schedule. My body was not hacking it very well. So now I will start working on Monday and Wednesday instead. The hope is that i will have time to recover from teaching for a day and each night I will get to sleep in my own bed. I'm very excited for this change and hope that it makes a huge difference.
Also last Thursday I made a new friend. He is another teacher who has done a ton of traveling to some of the most beautiful places in China by bicycle. His name is Yin and he can write and read English, but does not speak much of it. I'm excited for him to be a new friend. Myself and Yao (one of the other teachers from Gaomi) had lunch with Mr. Yin and it felt like a home environment.... something that I rarely feel here. It was so nice just to get to chat and enjoy someone's company. I will be having lunch at his home for (at least from my understanding, which is sometimes minimal) every Wednesday from here on out :)
Lastly today I met a kite surfer while i was on the hunt for a pumpkin, which I still need to carve.... anyhow I told him that I would get some pictures of him and his mates who were also surfing up on my site. He said he would love to see them, so maybe I can make another friend, something that I think I need more of. I'm feeling my extroverted self suffering a bit.
Oh one last thing; I have signed a contract with YSE modeling company (www.yishaer.com) I will be starting the free training sometime next week. I'm not totally sure what to expect, but I know I need it, so either way it will be a positive learning experience. I guess what I hope for is that they will help me know what to wear, how to walk, and makeup, as well as hair.... LOL I guess everything. Yikes they will have so much work to do.
Till next time!
