My time as a volunteer here in Chengdu is nearing an end. I have just a touch less than 4 months left to teach at my school, and then will be transitioning into a different sort of existence.
After a short jaunt home with my boyfriend, intended to introduce him to my parents and the myriad joys of America -- including our actual ability to microbrew “real” beer and not just “awful lager” – I’ll be continuing on as a student of the Chinese language.
As such, I’ve been working rather hard as of late to catch my language ability up to the point where I won’t be starting in a low level class. This means I’ve been studying for hours and hours a day and trying to push myself through my textbooks at a rather extreme rate, and having Chinese classes with an amazing tutor/friend who teaches at Sichuan University. At this rate, I think I ought to be able to catch myself up before the autumn semester starts, and I’m rather excited about it.
However, because I’ve been so lax about my experiences here, I’m planning on starting to write a little bit about the joys of China. Kick me if I forget, because I’m tired of always forgetting to write. I enjoy writing – I just don’t do it often enough. J
Pax!
