Almost Time!

Gee, where did the time go?!  Four days and I will be flying to China for a year!!  I am excited and scared all at the same time.    I can't believe the time is now. 

I still have some packing to do and I have some books and such I want to scan into my computer.  I had better get on the ball. 

Leaving DC airport around 1pm Tuesday.  Landing in Seoul, Korea around 4pm Wednesday.  Fly out of Seoul at 9am Thursday to Changsha by 11am.  The rest of the group will be there Friday.  I may sleep until then!!  JET LAG!!!!

I have had a really great time with my grandson Gabriel and my new granddaughter Aubrie. You should here Gabriel growl like a tiger, hiss like a snake, and curl up his hands under his arms like a monkey waiting on me to make the monkey sound for him.  Then he just laughs and laughs!  I am going to miss all the hugs and kisses from him.  Skype is just not the same as hands on.  Not to mention I will be a grandmother again in February and not be here.  I told them to wait to get started so I would be back!  LOL  I am still trying to convince them to Skype me in during delivery! 


Next time I post I will be in CHINA!!!!!!!

Aubrie is my second grandchild and I have at least one more on the way.  LOL  Probably just one but until the ultrasound we can not be sure.

School Placement

I will be teaching at Tian Jia-Bing Experimental Senior Middle School in Liuyang, China.  My students will be the equivalent of sophomores and juniors here.  I found a PowerPoint presentation online about my school:  http://www.powershow.com/view/e4eb8-ZDM0M/Tianjia_Bing_Senior_Middle_School_flash_ppt_presentation

Liuyang is about 1 hour from the Hunan capital city of Changsha.  It is considered a small city even though it has a population of approx. 1 million.  It is also the fireworks capitol of China.  Fireworks are produced and TESTED there every day.

Just a couple of weeks to finish preparing/packing then spending some time with my grandchildren and family before flying out on August 3rd.  I am excited and nervous at the same time!
