And, as an addendum to the scant list of my daily activities, I do have a shortlist of stuff I’m working on for before I come home. First, and foremost, is the artwork. While I was teaching, through the winter with no indoor heating, I didn’t do [...]]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2010/03/as-promised/feed/ 6 http://www.rah-kun.net/2010/01/looking-ahead/ http://www.rah-kun.net/2010/01/looking-ahead/#comments Mon, 18 Jan 2010 07:59:34 +0000 Jayml http://www.rah-kun.net/?p=1061 Mein gott – two posts in a day? It’s ’bout that time… my daily routine (the one that sorta makes it difficult to write on account of every day looking kinda like the day that came before) is starting to break up a bit. Now I spend afternoons pouring over travel sites, looking for stuff to [...]]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2010/01/looking-ahead/feed/ 0 http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/12/december-teaching-and-looking-ahead/ http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/12/december-teaching-and-looking-ahead/#comments Wed, 02 Dec 2009 15:04:27 +0000 Jayml http://www.rah-kun.net/?p=1003 Teaching. It’s… not me. I’ve thought about it for a bit – since I got here, really – and I’ve kind of come to the conclusion that I’ve got a lot of traits and skills that might make me like a teacher, but that’s not exactly my thing. My enthusiasm for the things here that [...]]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/12/december-teaching-and-looking-ahead/feed/ 3 http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/10/towards-wuhan/ http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/10/towards-wuhan/#comments Fri, 02 Oct 2009 21:53:03 +0000 Jayml http://www.rah-kun.net/?p=828 I leave for Wuhan in a couple hours – Victor will be swinging by my place at 6:30 to collect me, then we’ll be hustling off via train. I’m not sure where in Wuhan we’re going, or what I’ll be doing, or how I’ll be doing it – I’m sorta just going along for the [...]]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/10/towards-wuhan/feed/ 1 http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/08/the-countdown-rebegins/ http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/08/the-countdown-rebegins/#comments Wed, 19 Aug 2009 00:11:56 +0000 Jayml http://www.rah-kun.net/?p=676 So I’ve moved into the position where counting down the hours until I move into my apartment is not an unwieldy, triple-digit task, but actually somewhere under 36 hours. Of course, moving closer and closer to moving-in time over the last couple of weeks has put me into that frustrated, impatience funk, making the necessities [...]]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/08/the-countdown-rebegins/feed/ 0 http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/07/reboot/ http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/07/reboot/#comments Sun, 19 Jul 2009 03:25:43 +0000 Jayml http://www.rah-kun.net/?p=554 (Written at 10:18 PM, July 18th) I really need to apologize to everyone. Or, maybe I don’t, but I will anyways. Floating from one uncomfortable station to the next to finally land in the mother of all uncomfortable circumstances, I let myself fall into a self pitying, naval gazing, despair mode wherein all I could do [...]]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/07/reboot/feed/ 0 http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/07/xuzhou-journal-1-dalian-airport/ http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/07/xuzhou-journal-1-dalian-airport/#comments Sat, 11 Jul 2009 02:10:57 +0000 Jayml http://www.rah-kun.net/?p=511 Xuzhou Travel Journal 1: Dalian Airport (Originally written between 6 and 7 PM, Dalian, yesterday) So I get a couple days reprieve in Xuzhou, as I’ve mentioned before. It’s about 6 PM now, a small child just waved at me, and the flight leaves at 8:40. The sound of the airport (and my fatigue) is quite distracting.

It’s been a graceful snowball of small things (and one gigantic thing) into a literal mess that now leaves me sitting in the departures terminal (not behind security) at Incheon International at 8:37 PM until 6 AM tomorrow morning, when they’ll let me check [...]]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/06/separation-travel-anxiety/feed/ 0 http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/06/minor-update/ http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/06/minor-update/#comments Fri, 26 Jun 2009 19:47:36 +0000 Jayml http://www.rah-kun.net/?p=415 Today: Backpacking!

Shortly after breakfast, around 11 or so, I started the process that would ultimately consolidate the bulk of my federal loans into a single, comprehensive payment under the Department of Education – [...]]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/06/tying-up-lose-ends-frayed/feed/ 1
