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?!
