That's me the title is describing, because I've been in the Flagship office from 9 am to now (3:15 pm!), minus half an hour for lunch. That being the case, I have accomplished two and a half hours of tutoring and a whole lot of catching up on schoolwork and emails, and I feel on top of the world, or at least on top of my mountainous to-do list. The internet here is slower than in the States, and it cuts out all the time, which makes it take twice as long to get things done. Speaking of internet, my neighbors changed their internet password again; it's a never-ending saga.
I enjoy living here a lot! When I first got here, I thought I wouldn't want to live in China again after a year here, but now I think I could be very happy living and working here "for a time; yea, and perhaps until the day I die." (props for the reference!) Okay, until the day I die is a bit of an exaggeration, but for a time, certainly.
I got a part-time job offer yesterday. My roommate went to check out an SAT tutoring school a few days ago, and told them about me, and I went and interviewed with them yesterday. I'll teach 10-12 hours a week, and they're going to pay me 300 kuai an hour as a base salary! That's nearly $50 an hour, so I'll make a good $1000 every other week while I'm going to school and working minimal hours. And I think I'll enjoy it a lot - I like teaching and helping people understand things, and part of it is editing papers, which I also like. No downside - I think it will even help me be more responsible with the rest of my time; having too few things scheduled is generally a bad thing for me.
This has been an office rat special announcement.
