Last Week in Chengdu!

IMG_1620 - Version 2

So, before we start on this whole new adventure, I wanted to wrap up our time in Chengdu with a post about our last week here. I mentioned last time that these few weeks have been a total emotional roller coaster, but the last few days have definitely been the most intense. I’m excited, sad, stressed, and relaxed all at once. It really depends on the moment.

Hey friends & fam! I think I’m finally ready to start writing about the present again after having spent months talking about all the fun stuff we did when my family visited.

Heeeeeeeeey neglected blog of mine! Apologies- last week I was way too preoccupied with being stressed about my demo lesson for the parents to update. To the point of panic, actually. It was a bit ridiculous. I definitely need to work on my stage fright/fear of being judged in the near future. It has gone beyond normal jitters and is bordering on disabling. I am just discovering all of my weaknesses here in China, aren’t I? Fun!

Hey y’all. Gotta keep this one really short; this week has been absolute madness and I’m running low on time and energy. This week is an 8-day work week for me because of the days off for New Year’s. My work week isn’t that ridiculously difficult, but without the weekend to catch up on sleep and take a break from all the 3 year olds I get burnt out quickly.

Hello to my poor neglected blog! It has been ages since I posted, but Kev and I are finally home in Chengdu and getting back into the swing of things. We have had an AMAZING last month, and I have a ridiculous amount of information and pictures to share. It’s going to take a bit of time, but I’m stoked to relive and document all the fun adventures we have recently taken.
