I have learned this year that teachers countdown the days till summer and other holidays more than students. It is kind of fun and reminds me of back when I used to countdown the days; however, instead of starting the countdown at smaller numbers like 10 or 15, teachers start as soon as one holiday ends. As of now, I have 32 1/2 days of teaching. To be honest, it is a bit bittersweet as I am really happy with my job and will miss the little ones when I leave. Now, for the big countdown... drum roll please... 73 days till I am I am in San Diego! This too is a bit bittersweet as well. Don't get me wrong, I am convinced that my time here will be done, but right now I am having a blast. It is good to leave on a high though and I think (well know) I will be ready. I cannot wait for the beach! This will be the longest stint in the twenty-five years of my existence. I will have gone for 7 months without seeing the beach and 11 1/2 months without steeping foot in the ocean! Craziness! Ah, to be able to swim in the waves and tan in the sun... I know I will be ready when I leave. So here is the official breakdown of my time here:
6 1/2 weeks of teaching
7 weeks till my cousin comes to Shanghai
3 weeks of traveling around with him
4 days till I get on the plane for good ols Cal-i-forn-i-a
