510 hours to go

I haven't blogged in some time. I guess I really need to get back to it, but I don't know. I might have to start a new blog in China since Jeffofarabia really isn't very Shanghai-like.

So what has been happening? First of all, lots of packing. I have too much stuff. I will be shipping most of my things and then leaving some things with a friend in Thailand while I travel around Southeast Asia a bit. Yep, I am going back to Southeast Asia on vacation. I am starting to see a pattern here. I guess I really do like it there. So relaxing.

The school year is mostly done. Have some last minute grading to do and then prepare the kids for finals. The seniors only have two days this upcoming week which is nice; they stopped working a while back. My school keeps giving them extra priviledges though, even though they have done nothing.

So it's mostly packing and trying to finish a few books and study a bit of Chinese. My Chinese was never really that good, but I am hoping that it actually improves this time. I guess it just takes practice.

I am also hoping to lose a bit of weight this summer. I have plumped up. I will do a lot of walking and swimming so hopefully that will trim me down a bit.

Well there are 510 hours to go. (Okay I'm counting.)
