Once again the Chinese government has struck. They shut down google's blogger website. In fact it is still shut down. Today I spent a few hours and found a way to get on here around the Chinese government. So for as long as this is working, I will try to post again.
Things the past few months have been great. I finished my spring term of teaching about 3 weeks ago. The school year was great. I feel like my students really improved the past 9 months.
I took the GMAT test in Xi'an last week. My application with Park Universities MBA program is pending. If all goes well, I will be back in school in a month.
Last month I signed a contract with Jiaotong University for next year. They are ranked as the 10th best school in the country by the ministry of education. I am moving up in the world. In fact they are having me teach graduate classes (I only have my BSB degree): American Literature, Theories of Literature, and a class on the Bible. Yeah I know. I guess that a few years of Catholic school turned me into a theological scholar in the eyes of the Chinese. Good times.
I am going to travel to Wuhan on the 21st to see the eclipse on the 22nd. It is supposed to last around 5 minutes in Wuhan (it is almost in the direct center of the eclipse). After that we are heading to either Shanghai or Wudangshan for a few more days. I have to be back in Xi'an on the 28th to move into my new apartment. Then I will leave again to head to Yunan province in the far southwestern corner of China for two weeks. If Nima ever gets up off his ass and books a ticket, I will then go to meet him in Hong Kong. Otherwise maybe up the three gorges.
That is about it for now. If I can logon during my travels, I will upload some more info.
