China, here I come (maybe)

Well, after two weeks (OK, fine, two years) of thinking about it, and one week of completely agonizing over it, I finally made the decision to apply again for a job teaching English in China. I turned it down two years ago and, while I don't exactly regret it, as things have turned out extremely well in the interim, I definitely need to do it now or I will regret it in the future. So, on Friday I sent my resume to my uncle's friend Jason, who has been at Jiangsu University for the past three years. I asked him to help me get an position in the spring. As soon as I sent it I started shaking and got butterflies in my stomach - but good ones, not bad ones.

I really can't wait. The absolute hardest part is going to be leaving my job and my coworkers and friends. They are all amazing, and it's not going to be easy. I know I'll start crying at some point.
