For those passing through


So, I've recently been getting back in touch with people through long over due e-mails, Facebook messages, Skype, etc. I guess maybe that's what inspired me to start the blog back up, maybe they're unrelated, not really sure I guess.

In the picture at the top of this post, you'll see many of the original crew I met when coming to China. Jonah and I on the left, moving around to show April, Kailey, Winston, Patrick, Ashley and Abdul. I still see Patrick occassionally (though not as much as I should) and Winston even less. Kailey I see pretty much everyday, but she's going back to America soon. She'll probably be back though. Ashley's been gone for awhile and Abdul has as well. Abdul is someone I actively miss though. He and I hung out a lot. We explored parts of Dalian, played video games, and drank tea. He was (why do I use the past?) a good friend who said he may come back to Dalian after going to Spain, I hope he doesn't welch on that promise.

Anywho, not to dwell on the past, I'll move on. Right now I'm sitting in my classroom, I don't have class for a few hours, which means I'm working on curriculum planning, adding things to lesosn plans, etc. Pretty slow day for the most part. As an update... there's nothing to update. I've been fighting a cold and my cats seem to be having some stomach problems. Luckily these two things combined well which means I walk around groggy as all get out and frequently step in cat vomit, huzzah!

That's all from this side of the world, a useless post but I'm trying to keep it up! Hopefully the next one will have more interesing content and less cat vomit, but no promises. Cheers!

Three cheers for new posts!
Hope you (and your cat) are feeling better!
And congratulations on defeating the Great Firewall of China...
And I love your cats' names... Portia from Merchant of Venice or Julius Caesar? I'm guessing the former...

When I named 'her', I named 'her' for the former. Now that 'she's' gotten older I've found 'her' personality to be more like the latter. 'She's' far more docile than 'she' used to be
