Hey everyone! I'm a current Peace Corps volunteer in northern China! I'll be spending the next two years teaching English to college students, eating amazing food, and attempting to untangle my understanding of this amazing place! Enjoy!

Failure to Blog

Why blog? I may just be too inconsistent to keep a blog. I've never really been able too. I want to I guess...but then I think "Who will read it?" No one really. I don't really read other people's blogs. Maybe if I blog myself I will. I really should keep better track of my feelings, emotions, break downs, flip-outs, etc. I can reflect...grow maybe. 
I've spent a lot of time yesterday hating China so today I'm going to talk about why I like it.


1. Hot Pot


Tons of carbs and tons of spice. ^_^ How can you go wrong? You can kill time and enjoy it slowly with friends while you gossip about your life, the lives of others, culture, and the ways of the world. This deliciousness make me very sad to have to leave China one day. The rural midwest is just not up to date on its authentic "ethnic" cuisines.


2. Naps


I've come to rely on these sweet little things. They really give you the kick you need to get you through the rest of the long, not my culture, days. I can't get as many on new campus...and maybe this is why I have been so grumpy lately but I sneak them when I can.


3. My Students


No one, aside from my mother, pulls on my heartstrings more. Of course I have my moments with those who could care less but, the ones that do make up for it ten-fold.


4. Weight Loss


I don't know if all of it has to do with living in China r just being out of college but away it goes. ^_^I do have to bike to campus and back so maybe that and the yoga helps. 


5. Downloads


I'm addicted. All free...all easy. Nervous for my lack of connection back in the states.


Well for now this should be enough. Perhaps I can live the rest of my day in peace.
