Coming & Going

in Expat Life, Holidays, Updates

2008 – The Year That Was Suffered from China-Related Rot Gut many times. In fact, I may or may not have a parasite. Good times! Avoided the doctor yet another year. (I don’t know if this is something to celebrate or not. Will make appointment soon…) Could not avoid the dentist. Had a root canal. [...]

Am I Finished or What?!

December 15, 2008

in Updates

I’ve been a professional university student since 1994. No, I’m serious, I’ve pretty much been in college for 14 years. But I think I might be done for a while. Maybe. This is the downside of distance study. For the last 18 months I have been working on a Master’s of Library Science degree from [...]

A Busy Few Days Ahead

November 29, 2008

in Blogging, Expat Life, Travel, Updates, Vienna

Just when I’ve gotten back into the swing of blog posting and visiting other beautiful blogs, I’ve got to take a little hiatus. I am, as I type, procrastinating the completion of my Information Ethics research paper. (I’m writing on Internet Filtering in China) That’s got to be done by Sunday afternoon. (And whoa am [...]

Coming to America

May 6, 2008

in Back Home, Expat Life, Travel, Updates

Sing along with me now, “I’m coming to America…” That’s right, it’s not just a Neil Diamond song, it’s also my new tagline. I’ll be there on Saturday, following another long, heinous journey across oceans and continents. I would have announced this earlier, but we’ve had really crappy Internet connections as-of-late. It’s a miracle I [...]

I am officially brain D-E-A-D. The semester is almost over and I can barely write my own name at this point. Still have two 3 page essays and a final (with three 1 page essays) to complete. ARRRrggghhhhh. Expect nothing from this increasingly pathetic blog until at least next week. Sorry!

Hear Ye, Hear Ye!

in China, Expat Life, Moving, Updates

I’ve just come from a really fun night that almost makes me regret what I am about to announce here. Dinner with friends is a way of life here in China. You get together with your buddies, (Chinese or foreign or, hopefully, both), and you eat as much as you can, drink as much as [...]

At Work Again

October 22, 2007

in Travel, Updates, Vietnam

How quickly two weeks pass! I’m back at work today, although my brain is still in Vietnam. I have another paper due tomorrow, so I won’t be back until all that pesky homework is done. As for the free wi-fi on vacation, it was indeed great, but I felt more drawn to the beach and [...]

Never a Dull Moment

October 7, 2007

in Travel, Updates

Let me catch you up to speed on my life: There have been no updates lately because I am furiously trying to write two papers for two library school classes. Add to that the fact that I am up to here (insert clever cartoon character here with hand indicating eye-balls) with China, and as is [...]

And So The Vacation Must Come To An End

May 7, 2007

in Updates

Over 2 weeks without an update… I’m back in Linyi having passed my ground instructor exams, visited my family, shopped to my heart’s content, endured way too much airline food and too many hours of flight, spent a couple of days in Beijing and recuperated at a mountain lodge outside of Linyi. I’ll be back [...]
