THE HAILING FREQUENCY

[Pashernate_Lover]

Not all that surprisingly, I wake up early and go to teach lightheaded and dizzy. That famous old work ethic just won't give it a rest...even if I use a days worth of energy in a 90 minute class then go home and have just enough energy to stare at the ceiling. On the sweet side, my boyfriend gave me his 4 year old laptop so now I can be on the computer *and* in bed- oh what a world!!

I feel really supported, the other English teachers have made me soup and brought me fruit and flowers and cards- they all miss me in those grad school seminars, apparently they are a lot quieter without me since I can't possibly go back until Monday and they actually get everything done. Imagine that .

SO Boxguy, spill the beans how is/was it?? What did you do? Info please! Sounds awesome!

I am in a current inner debate (if I were Hamlet I would give a soliloquy on this ) I have found a potentially awesome job in Shanghai that pays a bit less than twice what it does here, but I don't know if I am going to apply or not! I am overqualified and everything, but I don't know! Eek! Thoughts??

Taking a week off to start my eventually-100-page paper-- see you guys when I get back!

That would be so cool! I am at that fork in the road where I found some districts that want to hire me for $10,000 less than I would be getting in Shanghai and then I wouldn't have to leave my boy for so far away, but then again I would be stuck here and continually introduced as the girl that used to be in the wheelchair, which has driven me up the wall angry because I think there has been more to my life than that. I want to rediscover that passion for life and sheer curiosity that I used to live day in and day out by, that drove me to try any and everything that I was morally okay with just for the excitement. If it still exists it is hiding out in the world, and the only way I can find it is to go look for it but I don' t want to have to spend a year without a single kiss goodnight and there is no way I can lose my boy- you know? I am going to apply, but I am worried about if I do/don't get the job... oh decisions! So fun to make

I never get a single kiss goodnight. But I don't know if I would like to go to Shanghai. OK, that didn't help... But I love you.

[Boxguy]

Yeesh, that's sure a tough spot...would there be any way that your boyfriend could head over there with you? Or is that not feasible?

Hello, friends!

I had two of the most exhausting months in my life. I was literally burried under tons of work and cannot even realize so much time has passed!

I just realized though how much I miss you.
How are you?

Hope fine... Sending you many hugs!

It likely passed without notice, but five days ago this lovely forum of ours turned five years old!

I guess that means this August I will have been on here, with this as my home page, for 5 years... geez. Long time.
