It's hard to believe that there are only 3 more months of school this year. I'm starting to get really comfortable with the lifestyle and culture, and now I will have to make decisions about next year very soon! Just another "What am I going to do with the rest of my life?" time. Those are always interesting! When I came to China, I was pretty set on only being here for one year. However, I've really enjoyed the experience and getting to know so many Chinese as well as other foreigners in Wuhan. I've started looking for other jobs, but it's going to be a VERY tough decision.
There is not a lot of big news right now, but I wanted to send out a quick update.
We started the new term on March 1st. I wasn't ready to go back, but seeing my students again has been great. Plus, I feel much more confident about what I'm doing and how to lead the classroom. So confident, that recently I taught a class with my fly down for 20 minutes! I finally realized it, but I had no idea if my students had noticed. They were probably whispering about it in Chinese the whole time!
Beyond that, the weather is starting to warm up. I think we made it through the really bad winter weather, and no one is happier than me! I've been out running a few times as well as playing basketball with the students. I don't think I've ever been so ready to get back into being active. The cold weather made me feel like just sitting in my room all the time!
Adam Carpenter, the Zhong Relations leader, will be coming to visit in early April to catch up with us, meet with some school officials, as well as attend Cory's wedding. I don't remember if I've mentioned it before, but Cory is already officially married to a Chinese girl (Lara) here, but they are going to have a wedding with family and friends on April 3. It will be my first traditional Chinese wedding, so it should be interesting!
I think that's everything for now. Enjoy watching the greatest sports event on earth this month. I know I will!
