| | So a lot has transpired since I last blogged. I'm not going to even try to document my life these past few years. Lets just say part of my heart now belongs to the Chinese people.
This is the first area I lived in, and it was the smallest and dirtiest apartment I'd ever seen. Turns out it was pretty nice and spacious compared to the average home. China taught me a lot about life and people, and I trust in God more than I ever did before. The world I've returned to has also changed a bit (at least I hope it's not just me). This whole economic recession has thrown a lot of my preconceived (i before e except after c!) plans to the wind and now I think I'm going back to grad school. I have this desire to buy a lot of things and get "cool" again with some newfangled electronics and maybe this sweet road bike.
But I just can't justify it until I have a steady income, so I guess I'll just have to find a different way to be "cool" for a while. Oh the sacrifices. My social situation is in flux as well. Of course the post mission awkwardness, which isn't helped by the fact that half of my friends are married or engaged or living far away. Just got to start at square one and search out some new best friends, and a new job. If anybody has a friend of a mother's great aunt's cousin twice removed that could hook me up with a summer job, I would love you forever. Or maybe just be very grateful and make you a plate of cookies. The future is so mysterious right now, it's kind of exciting. I just hope there's a happy ending.
