Another short entry, but I'm trying to make myself write at least a little more often. It's good for an image or something like that.

Anyway, I'm in LA area finishing my last term of grad work at Azusa Pacific University. This past weekend I presented my action research (something like a thesis) project and received an A- on it which was better than I'd hoped for. This week I am taking Pronunciation which is actually really interesting, though six to seven hours in the classroom followed by homework in the evening is a bit tiring, but it's still easier to be a student than a teacher. I'm wishing I'd learned some of these things earlier to help my former students, but I'll hunt up some second-language speakers in Fort Collins and test my knowledge out on them :)

Next week I'll have Language Program Development which is basically getting to design a Language course or program. That sounds interesting but also like a lot of work :p After that I'll head back home and spend a month going through years and years of stuff that needs to be downsized immensly, trying to get back into shape, and just enjoy a rest without worrying too much about what's next.

Also, I hope to get my list of hints for writers up next month as well as get newsletters and pics up in the China section... I have to modify a lot so that's taking a lot more time than anticipated. But I'll time next month, if I'm not totally lazy and waste all the time God is giving me. Let's hope for the best :)

Well I am stateside now and it's bittersweet. I'm tired and really not trying to adjust back to America yet. I have plenty to do, so I guess it's taking a backseat to the action research project and preparing for the last two grad classes at the end of the month. July is the month to survive. August is the month I'll start trying to live again. And September I'll start a new job. I think by October or November life might finally settle down for the first time in three years, maybe.

But I just hold onto the one who is my strength, my reason to survive and know this is right and all will work towards a good I cannot see or truly understand in this world, but that's okay. Because it's right and I'm loved and that's what matters.
