ARGHHHH! Sixteen days

😱 Hey folks in sixteen days I'll be leaving for China. (Thought I'ld get this thread in before the frenzy of packing takes over.) 🤣

Don't forget your tooth brush!

aww how cool, for what?

teach english

wow. thats amazing.

yeah especially since i don't have a degree for english

wut do u have it in?

woman's studies

you have a degree in woman's studies? Wow...didn't know it was a whole separate field

oh yeah, but it isn't just about women. In a nutshell it's studying the intersections of race, class, gender, and sexuality to see how each aspect of a person's life affects their actions and reactions.

😑

are you confused celsius😉

uh..... 😕 😕 😑 😑 🤨 🤨

Good for you China!
I've a collegue who worked in Japan for 5 years teaching English. He didn't speak much Japanese and he doesn't have an English degree either.
Most of his pupils already had a good level of English and what he was doing was helping them with their conversational skills.

basically what i'll be doing, but i also have to through in some grammer
ohhh, it's gonna be soooo hard. Chinese New Year is a requirement. Biggest party in the country and we have to go. ohhh, it's such a hard life.😄

btw, i have a cousin who did the Japan thing and now she's getting married to a Japanese guy. they're both taking classes so they can get jobs that will let them travel more.

Makes me wish I hadn't done the settling down marrried with kids thing, only for about a second though 😄
Well I'm sure you're going to have a great time!
Good luck

we have a married with kids couple going in our group

Well its a nice thought but I've got another baby due anytime now so it wouldn't be tremendously convenient at the moment. I've considered emigrating from England a few times and probably will do in the next 10 years but till then I'm happy where I am and that whats in important 🙂

my sister just had a baby in may
that's the only thing i hate about going cuz i won't be around to help her with the baby and most of our family lives 800 miles away

i have a self thought degree in womens studies. Basically i been studying women since i was 14. Its always a learning process however, i love the practical session involved when studying in great detail 😉
