Man, I'm glad I'm heading to China. I'm just kind of bored lately. Maybe it's because I'm only working 20 hours a week, or maybe because I'm restless in anticipation for leaving... but I'm just getting a little frustrated with everyday life. I've been wanting to cook and clean less, go to work less, and I spend a lot of my time online researching cities in China, travel arrangements, etc.

I think I have two "unofficial" offers for jobs so far. The first would be working for an Aston school in either Lianyungang or Dongying. That job would pay slightly better than the other and would allow me to teach advanced-english lessons to adults, which sounds awesome to me.

The second job would be working directly for the Jiangsu Province Board of Education at a university - so I wouldn't have to teach anybody under 18 and I would feel a little more "secure" working for the education authority in the area. Sooo, I'm making up my mind and still looking for other positions.

Sooo I'm getting pumped to move. I think this will be hard / amazing / exciting / crazy / educational. It will undoubtedly be the coolest and yet simultaneously the hardest thing I've ever done. I'm up to the challenge, though, and I'm not really leaving much behind that I'm not ready to leave, anyway.

Oh well, Chad is coming up this weekend and I couldn't be more excited! The weather report looks sunny, warm, and beautiful for the first time since October! w00t. :)

Annnd ... I want to play video games before bed.
