Traveling the World

I’ve long been dreading this post for several reasons. I’ve had a few unpleasant dealings in the last month or so, but I’m doing much better now. I’ve begun physical therapy on my shoulder and it’s feeling better every day. I’m getting healthy again so I can move back to China!

I haven’t purchased my flights or visas yet because, to be honest, I don’t have a job or an idea of when I can really go. The best time for me to go is the middle of February, because the main job I’m looking at has a teacher leaving in the middle of March. This would give me ample time to get settled in before the job and then go travel for a little bit since I’ve been working 6 days a week non-stop since August, when I got back from China last time.

The business idea is still on the shelf, but tabled until I get there. I have more than enough saved for the idea and to still survive in China for a few years if it takes time to pick up. I love the idea of a wire transfer, and wish I had known prior to a month ago. That would have saved me a massive headache when I carried a few thousand dollars in cash in my pockets from China to the US back in the summer of 2010.. haha.

After a long bout of laziness and apathy, I am finally back to writing my book. Being away from it for this long has given me the opportunity to look at my words with fresh eyes, and thus make edits that have improved the overall structure and flow.

It came to my attention at work that I was being more of a dictator than a manager, so I am going to take each employee aside and ask them to be honest with me, because I yearn to grow as a person and a manager, and only my employees can help me do that (in this part of my life).

Two months to China..
