Well, it's been a while, and much has happened.
My last post eluded to a change in life. Looking to my departure from China. Well, that departure has happened. It's a bit ahead of the normal schedule, and I've known for a while about it. But I kept it real quiet because I wanted to surprise my Gram. (my biggest fan)
She was quite surprised. The face clutching, scream inducing, tears flowing kind of surprised. It was great. She had no clue. (everyone else knew)
Since my return I've been very busy running around doing all the things I've not had a chance to in 6 months, seeing people, eating american food, and getting over jet lag. My time to relax is still a little ways off as my life is not going to reach equilibrium for a bit yet.
My next adventure is just around the corner. And it's NYC. I'm off to a teaching job in the Big Apple.
It's a huge life change, but I figure its only half the size of Shanghai.... I'm excited to be doing something new, to be close enough to home for a visit, and also to be only an hour's time change away. :)
And to quote a favorite movie of mine...
You can't have roots and wings.
Luckily, my wings always know how to find home.
Until next time.
P.S. My blog is getting a little makeover for the change to NYC, but the web address will remain the same. I hope you'll stick around as I explore my new home.
