Final Week at WFU

I have come to my final few days at Wake Forest. On Saturday my parents, girlfriend and a couple of my friends are arriving in Winston-Salem for my graduation. I am really excited about this weekend, but at the same time, something feels completely wrong about graduation. Not a wrong like, "I have a feeling a plane is going to crash in to the stage," but I just feel like I'm not ready to graduate yet. I'm sure most people have this sensation, but regardless, it's bringing down the excitement of this weekend just a bit.
This is an exciting time though, so I am going to have as much fun as possible and I'm sure I won't have a problem doing it. After graduation, it's off to California for a couple of months to learn some more Chinese.
Following my stay in Cali, I'll be heading off to China to teach English for a year. Once again, I find myself incredibly excited, but also kind of bummed at the same time. It should be the experience of a lifetime, but it will be my first time completely alone. I won't know anyone where I am going and I will be across the ocean from all of my family and friends. I'm just hoping that everything works out and I enjoy teaching like I believe that I will. Anywho, this is just the intro for my year to teaching in China. Thought I would introduce everyone to the situation surrounding my graduation and eventual arrival in China. Enjoy.

That little video camera takes damn good pictures. I can't wait to see pictures of your apartment, campus, classroom, a big meal at a local restaurant! Good luck with your classes. I know you will be great. Who else could get a gig where you talk in English and get paid!
