Happy Day! Happy Day!

I just got off the phone with Chris, one of the other teachers. He told me something that could be considered the best news I've heard in months.

We're getting a new teacher this weekend.

A new KINDERGARDEN teacher.

What does this mean, you ask?

1. I get to show the new person around and train him/her in how the classes work. I like showing people how to do things because it makes me feel smart. :)

2. I get to go back to working at the Jin Du school.

3. I won't have to sit in the computer room of Greenland for 4 hours with nothing to do but surf the internet.

4. I won't be the only one on a Monday through Friday schedule, so I can finally have someone to regularly hang out with on the weekends.

5. A new friend for our parties.

I can't wait. I'll probably get a chance to meet this person over the weekend, but I really can't wait for Monday.

I say I'll probably get a chance to meet them this weekend, because I might not be around for all of it. Either Saturday evening, or Sunday morning, I'll be heading out with a Chinese friend, and possibly some of her friends to go hiking in the mountains south of the city. I can't wait to go. I'm not feeling homesick, but it'll be nice to be out in the hills again.
