Approaching Halfway.

I am approaching the half point of this journey. I have not been blogging a lot because I things have start to become routine for me. My average day consists of four hours of Chinese class in the morning, Lunch, talk to loved ones online (mainly my mom haha ), then me Andy head to gym for hopefully a hard workout. After that we go to Rainbow House English to teach English (gayest name for a school ever). I take the bus home and once I get home I do homework while watching the Colbert Report. Basically I am living the dream. Haha. It is very interesting living with all foreigners. Honestly sometimes it feels like everyone in the build is just a big family or at least it’s very comparable to my family. Everyone is very different but you still share a bond together and that bond is we’re all far from home. I am very blessed that almost everyone in the build speaks English, but even those who do not are very friendly. We even have role of parents filled in by the阿姨(a yi) . They take your wellbeing very personal. If you miss class they are very upset. I call them my tiger moms. Maybe I think this just because my own family. They are very diverse. I had the blessing of having a mixed family.  So I strongly believe that just because you don’t share the same blood you cannot be family.  With that being said that does not mean I do not miss my own family. I do miss them, but just because I am far away from my home I am still surrounded my family.
