The Long Awaited Blog

After almost three weeks of nonstop training, exploring, adjusting, and dealing with my new life in China, I’ve finally managed to start my blog. I won’t go into detail about the last few weeks because they are over and somewhat stale for me, and I have way too much to talk about every moment here to worry about the past—Chinese “nowism” has taken me over! (If you don’t know what “nowism” means, just keep reading and you will soon understand.)All I will say is that I am here in China to teach English for a year in the Shenzhen public school system with a program called CTLC (www.chinaprogram.org). I spent two weeks in Zhuhai training to get my TEFL certificate to teach. I’m now certified and have been placed in a primary school in Futian—one of the central districts in Shenzhen.
