Yikes.

So... 

A lovely girl from my group going to Changzhou made a group on facebook so we can all get to know each other a bit before we go to China :) So our awesomely awesome head teacher Whitney added some pictures of our future dorm rooms. The rooms look so cute! So I am going through them getting more and more excited with every picture... And then I came across this little beauty. 

For a while I was just in shock. NO ONE WARNED ME ABOUT THESE! 

Hahahahahaha. This has the be a joke, right?

Nope. This is for reals. 

I was kinda freaking out, and the head teacher was just laughing and laughing. And then guess what she told me?

Not only is this my toilet, this is also my shower.

................

All I have to say is... Wish me luck!!!

Finally got my assignment!

I got my assignment this afternoon and I am going to...... drumroll please......Changzhou, China! YAY! This was such a relief because that was the city that I requested to be assigned to. Why on earth would I even have a preference when I know NOTHING about China and it's plethora of cities? Well honestly, it sounded like the most fun!


I am so excited about my location! It is so close to Shanghai, and Nanjing. Both amazing cities full of so much energy and ancient history. I am so excited to be immersed with culture. I am so excited for all of the great sites I am going to see, but I am most excited to meet my kids. I just want to smother those kids with love! They are 3 and in a boarding school in class all day?! That is just... different than what I am use to. Honestly, it seems really wrong. All of the other teachers for their other subjects are so strict, so they really love coming to english class and getting smiles and hugs. We even get to tuck them in at night! I am also excited to meet my group of young adults that I will be with all semester. The group that goes to Changzhou is the largest group. There will be about 20 of us, so there has to be at least a few people that will be able to put up with all my quirks... right?... right?!


Thank you all for your support and love! It will really help me press forward in this crazy journey that I am about to start. Thanks to everyone that donated money for my expenses I have to pay. I appreciate it SO much!!! And thanks all of you for reading my cute little blog. I will keep you guys posted!
