oh an update.....
Well I'm back from behind the Great Wall...
I'm back from China, for two weeks now. It seems like forever ago.
I want to go back, but China is not one of the places you sit around dreaming about returning to. You enjoy the comfortable living you enjoy in the U.S., like the ability to order food without exhausting yourself in the translation process, or it not taking 20 minutes to make any sort of purchase, or the safety of traffic patterns (just to name a few things).
Currently I'm unemployed, almost broke and working on a paper that is due August 1st and the research is not even close to being complete. I'm not too concerned, it will get done, it always does. I'm making steady yet slow progress (like you all care).
Tomorrow means Manhattan for lunch with my Aunt and cousin followed by research/reading at Bryant Park ending with an evening of drinks and jazz.
In the last two weeks I watched the entire series of Sex and the City that I bought in China for about $3.00. China is wonderful for cheap consumer goods.
oh yes...
Someone please hire me?
I've sent out a few resumes. I fixed up the resume and cover letter so hopefully something will pop up soon. I'm just applying for some BS administrative positions, hopefully within a museum or within a law firm (I've been thinking about law school). I just need something so that I make some money to pay off some loans and save up for a move to Taiwan.
I want to move to Taiwan and learn Mandarin. At this point I feel like I want to yell it from roof tops so that it will eventually come true. As time goes on though, I just seem to move further away from my goals.
I need to make a sign for above my bed that says "Lauren you've been to China and back, you can make it through another day on Long Island, and you will make it back to Asia again" Give myself a pep talk when I wake up in the morning.
Good night....
