1.)how are you feeling?
2.)where are you going?
3.)do you speak Chinese?!?
...and i would reply like so...
1.)ummm.. a little bit of everything- excited, anxious, nervous, happy, curious... but mostly excited :)
2.)i FINALLY received word on my placement in Jiangxi province at a university! when i first heard about it, i thought it was referring to some kind of airline- blue sky airlines? it's possible. hehe it should be a challenging, yet altogether great experience that i'm looking forward to. so whenever you see a good ol' blue sky- you can "think" of me, my team, and my students
here's some fancy pictures i found, they recently remodeled the new campus so it super nice..
3.) wo ting bu dong ( i don't understand) was one of the first mandarin phrases i proudly learned. chinese mandarin has to be one of the hardest languages to master- especially the tones and sounds of the words. thankfully, i can count numbers 1-10, say a few pronouns, and my favorite to shout out as a greeting or expression... "jiao ming ah!!" (save me! help me!) :D
when posting comments please remember that "loose lips sinks ships"...

Hey Jodi! Great blog! I will be thinking about you guys a lot :). When our friends were in China last month we helped to moderate blog comments to make sure no one said anything "silly." Let me know if you need any help with that or anything else :) I know dad is going to be very proud of you and your hard work!
