Blog Updates are Good Luck

Just got back from work. One of the first things I do anymore is check my email for any news about my visa and the job. Today I got an email from the manager (Principal? Vice Principal?) at Kid Castle, the school I'll be teaching at. She also gave me the email address of a guy from South Africa who has been teaching there for a year now. Now I can ask someone some actual questions about the school. The school has been very brief in the answers they've given me before. I'm sure their English is better in person, but the emails they send me look like they were typed by a 14 year old on AIM.

Either way, Blogger is good luck for me some how. It seems like I usually get an email or news within a day or so of posting an entry or leaving a comment. If this keeps up, I'll be posting every day. :P

Emofriend's Emo Post About How Emo He Is.

I'm lonely.

Everything is changing, but I'm at a standstill. Like the wait at the beginning of a roller coaster before it makes the first plunge. My brother left for college last week. Tomorrow, my best friend is going back to college. My mom just sold our main television.

And I still haven't gotten word about my work visa. I'm hoping that I'll get a phone call or email or anything over the weekend. I'm going to send them an email either way. I want out of here.

Work has taken up most of the time, but it really drains my energy. I've been falling asleep at about 9:30 lately. Nine freaking thirty! I used to stay up past midnight on a regular basis! Other than that I've been reading through the Wheel of Time series so fast I'm surprised I haven't gotten paper cuts. That and massive amounts of anime. Eitehr way I'm mostly confining myself to my room. My mom used to tell me to get out more often, but she has come to realize how little there is to actually do around here. The highlight of my week is when I go to Denny's with some of my friends.

Ok.

Being emo sucks, but I had to get that out.

Feel free to return to whatever it was that you were doing.

Regarding my Job in China

Ok. BIG change in plans. A while ago, I got an email from my placement supervisor telling me that the school in Wuhan was unable to get a working visa for me due to my lack of experience. She then recommended another school for me to send my resume to. At the same time (maybe it was just email forwarding) I recieved amessage from said school asking for my resume. I sent it to them and recieved the contract a couple days later. Now I just have to wait and hope that they can get me a visa. I 'm also hoping that I'll still be able to leave by late august. This school is a language school, not a primary school, so I'm not sure if it follows the same schooling/grade schedule. Either way, I still want to be in China by September 1st.
