Lack of Connection

Well I am writing another blog post because I have no internet so I have run out of things to do while waiting however impatiently for a connection. Amber is on but my iPad will not connect for anything it looks like I might be going to Starbucks tomorrow night if I can't get a connection today or tomorrow. I am glad that the end of the semester is within sight I am very ready for a break...this morning I did not want to get up and I even went to bed early. These moments (without connection to the outside world)  make me learn patience whether I want to or not...usually not. There is a lesson to be learned even in this even if I can't really see it at the moment. Maybe this was what Trevor was talking about last Sunday with waiting...if it is its not fun. SOmetimes I wonder if its from the cold. In the States our electronics stay warm but here they get so cold that they don't really work properly, I find that very true when I try to play a movie at the end of QQ club my DVD skips so much because the computer is cold.

Today is Christmas Eve but it doesn't really feel like it. Some of my classes have decorated for Christmas but I not really in the holiday spirit I am still very much in work mode...maybe by February I will be ready for Christmas. This reminds me of my college days they would push Christmas in the middle of October and by Christmas I was so over the holiday because I felt like I had been celebrating it since before Halloween!  I keep looking up in the corner of my screen hoping for a signal...but sadly nothing. On the bright side the sun just came out it will help, even a little.

Well I finally have a signal but my new VPN is not working...China has really been blocking them with the change of power here. So my blogs might get updated in a mass update with several post in a row. I have learned to live and love these times of TIC, it builds character as well as makes you very grateful for internet in the States or '美国的' or 'mei guo de'. So its time to teach and I will write later, Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year!
