First two months...

First two months.

All is going more or less okay here. Were it not for the Swine flu outbreak, the administration week, the quarantine (twice!!!!) or the National Day where we have just enjoyed a week off, all would have been even better. I think I have been enjoying myself way too much. That’s not to say I’m having a bad time, I’m just looking forward to finally studying constantly without breaks. Though the proverbial ‘be careful what you wish for, as you might just get it’ is in my case, very true. I’ll now be at Uni until February without a break. I’m also teaching a lot of hours per week, teaching English and Russian. Once again, my boss thinks I’m half Russian (and she’s Russian!).
My schedule is as follows; 4 hours a day plus extra modules in marketing (I still don’t understand much of it yet if I’m honest), plus 4 hours a day at home writing, writing and writing more… Add work, add two hours at the gym everyday, and add the time for good food and that pretty much cures my insomnia (yes I took people’s advice and slept on it). Sleeping at about 11pm and getting up at 6am (thanks Steve) seems to allow me for enough time to get everything done.
Olga has moaned at me for talking to her at 2.45am and fobbing her off as I need to sleep, so I promise to not talk to you all at 2.45am Beijing time whilst inebriated. Far too many of you have found out too many interesting things about me this way!
If anyone needs a place to stay in Beijing to come up and visit, just let me know.
