因为在神没有一件事是不可能的

I'm back to 100%! No bad food can keep this little train from chugging along. Here's the recent happenings:

• I'm working on getting my visa renewed. It's a bit more troublesome than I expected. I needed to get letters from my old work that I honestly didn't expect they would give me. But I'm still on good terms with the boss so it wasn't too much trouble.


• Then I figure out that it's pretty hard to get a residence permit if I continue live in Kaifaqu. It will cost me about 2000 yuan more than if I lived elsewhere in Yantai. So I opted to move. That is a mixed blessing. It will be a little more expensive, probably a little larger also. It's much closer to work, but much farther from church. Closer to some friends, farther from others. I should buy a car...


• Only two more weeks of school. One week of tests and another week of nothing. We'll sort of teach, but the students won't want to do anything knowing that the tests are over. It'll be a lazy week. Then summer school starts. I think I'm going to do that. It's only three weeks and it's decent money. It'll make up for the money I will have spent on moving.


• I forgot how silly high school drama is. As I get closer to my students I find out some pretty ridiculous things their girlfriends do. I'm so glad those days are past.


• I've written a couple more songs. I'm planning on recording them this weekend. I don't know what will actually happen though.


• One of my student's had their electronic dictionary stolen right before class. I was pissed off. I nearly took some kids heads off! Not really... I was able to track it down in about an hour. I couldn't find the culprit though. The girl was so happy. She told me that if she had just told her homeroom teacher nothing would have happened. I don't know how they could just let a student be violated like that and do nothing! I nearly had every seventh grader in the school empty their bags and pockets. Luckily I found where the little punk hid it before it came to that. I don't think the parents would have been to happy if I searched their children.
