Chapter 12: Life is FINALLY Starting!

Not that it never began before... but technically speaking, work is finally going to be regular; I have finally found a Chinese tutor; I will be in Wen Shan for longer than 2 weeks; and finally, I have a schedule! My Wen Shan life is beginning!!! YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY... etc :P
I just got back to Wen Shan from Kunming an hour ago. I spent the weekend in the world of "Beauty and the Beast." It was so good! Everyone was fantastic, and I'm especially proud of Lexi and Wyatt for how awesome they did in their acting. So good job Lex and Wyatt! You both are amazing!

I'm really excited about things really starting up here in Wen Shan. I've been waiting... for a really... really long time... and I just realized it this weekend, haha. For this whole semester I've been hanging around waiting for things to start. But at the same time, I know it's been for a reason, and I'm thankful for the way Daddy has allowed me to transition into living a life as an independent person - more or less.

So keep me in your thoughts this week! It's going to be a rough start, I think, as I get used to my new schedule. It's going to be pretty busy. I am working at the center 4 days a week, taking Chinese lessons 4 days a week, and tutoring one of the L's kids and helping AL and BL with babysitting 5 days a week (possibly 6). That's just a rough overview, too. I'm really, really, excited about it and know Daddy has amazing plans.

The little bit I worked with the kids at the center last week was really cool. I've connected with a few of them really well and know that a relationship has already begun to develop with them as well as their family members. Also, one of my posters is up on the wall in the center! This week I want to start working with one of the kids on it to see how she responds. I'm going to make sure to take pictures this week of me with the kids and the poster(s), and hopefully pictures of progress throughout the next few weeks so you guys can see what we're doing.

There's nothing else important to report, except I will admit I miss America and all the cool people in it. :) Hope you all are doing well, and thanks for reading up on my blog!

PS still haven't figured out the whole response thing... working on it! but please feel free to leave comments, I love them!
