Hi Everyone!

Due to certain internet issues, I stopped using Blogspot and switched to Tumblr last year.  However, I still like Blogspot better so I'm moving back to Blogspot.  If you want to see older posts, you can still check out my Tumblr. http://kristin07.tumblr.com/

Very soon I will be leaving the U.S. to begin my second year of teaching in China.  This year I go armed with a year of experience and a lot more hot chocolate mix, but I know that the best preparation has little to do with what I take in my bags and everything to do with prayer.  And, unfortunately, knowing what to expect doesn’t make leaving my family for 10+ months any less scary.

The next four days are almost entirely reserved for travel and, after that, I will be spending two weeks learning Chinese in one of the most beautiful places in China: Yangshuo. 

Then I’ll have a week to begin move into the apartment at my new school.  My new school is about a twenty minute taxi ride from the school I was at last year.  I hope to visit some of my old students at least once a week next semester, and, since I only teach on Tuesday and Thursday, that should be pretty doable.


I hope you all are enjoying these final days of summer!  Here's what I'll be doing for the next four weeks:
