Finally, things are coming together

Yesterday was a pretty productive day. I was able to get a job teaching English at a Korean school here in Qingdao. This will be a different experience than MAERSK, instead of teaching Adults, I will be teaching Children. It will be about 15 hours a week and the schedule is M,W,F from 5-8pm and S,Sn from 2-5pm. I think this will be a pretty good schedule because it will allow me to focus on Chinese during the day. Speaking of which, I bumped that up to four hours per day starting Monday. I will do one-on-one in the morning (10:20-12:20) and stay with my group class in the afternoon (2:00-4:00.)

My computer had broken down last week (just after I moved into an apartment with an internet connection.) I got it back yesterday. They wouldn’t honor my SONY warrenty (computer is only four months old) but the cost to repair was only about $35. Not sure of the exact nature of the problem, and I wasn’t going to be able to understand even if they explained to me.

I am getting excited to have most of my major things taken care of. The weather is getting really nice and I plan to go out for a jog today. The last thing I really need to do is find a gym. The last one I joined shut down after about a week and it doesn’t appear that it will be re-opening anytime soon.

In retrospect the last couple months have been active and with a lot up in the air, but it wasnt bad at all. I often believe that things happen for a reason, and all the experience should come in handy. I was also able to meet some great people along the way.
