And the Curse Continues

I have a curse set upon me by who knows but it has proven to be still upon me.

I can't ride horses.

Every time I try to ride a horse something happens that keeps me from doing so. The first couple times it was weather, either it would rain the day of or the day before and the trails would be too muddy. Then there was the time our reservation was lost and we would have had to wait a couple hours in order to ride. And just to prove that this isn't all in my head, the last time this happened I didn't even know there were plans to ride horses! This happened in France when Apolline and I went to a park somewhere and all of a sudden we're in front of some stables and there aren't any horses! Apparently, these were racing horses and you could ride them if they were there but they weren't. Didn't know anything about her plans we just went and the horses weren't there.

Now I have a new reason to add to my list: illness.

I'm going through the photos that my classmates took while in Qinghai and all of a sudden I find this:

And a bunch of other photos with all of them riding horses. Again, had no idea this was even planned.

The curse strikes again!! :(

Read Other Blog for Regular Updates

Just saying, because this one isn't going to be updated very regularly. I'm using it today because I already have three update topics for my other blog but I still want to think about this.
So I found out yesterday while talking to a guy I was about to interview for my job that college abroad is much cheaper than in the States. As much as I talk about getting out of college I have been considering getting a Master's degree. I keep coming back to the idea of teaching Chinese and how interesting and fun that would be. I got a taste of teaching last year when I volunteer taught English and figuring out how to best teach them was really fun. And now I'm writing my capstone on how English is taught at BLCU (my university). Add to that I'm writing my internship paper about why Chinese, after years of studying English, can't speak it and why that is, but my real interest is Chinese and how to teach it.
Of course, you can't teach a language if you can't speak it and I know very well after this semester I won't speak Chinese well enough to teach it.
I found out my school is well known for their Chinese teaching program. So not only could I be learning Chinese but also learning how to teach it if I stay in China.
The only problem is my boyfriend- I love him a lot and today marks being in China for one month and it hasn't been easy. I really miss him and can't wait to see him again. He actually told me that he would follow me if I decided to stay in China, however, we found out engineers aren't paid well in Asia and he doesn't speak the language nor seems to have any interest in learning.
So now what do I do?!

I feel like I should post something

So I'll post something I'm pretty sure the Alliance doesn't want me posting on my blog with them. So a couple hours after my fall i started having a major headache. I figured it had nothing to do with my fall but just to be sure I checked how long I should wait until I could sleep (because I was also tired) and it didn't really give an answer. So then I was like "well, I don't want to go to sleep and then never wake up so I'll call Marketus and see what he thinks."
I call him and he doesn't answer.
His phone is turned off.
This is only absolutely ironic because the Alliance freakin' gave us phones so that they could always be in touch with us should anything happen and he turned his phone off. This is also the phone we're supposed to call in case of an emergency.
Just sayin'
