Little to report on other than the occasional party with the girls from work, or my trip to Wuhan to see a friend, or the flood in my apartment last night. Actually, that last one was pretty good. I went to go wash [...]]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2010/04/all-quiet/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/2009/11/whirlwind-days-concerts-new-arrivals-and-bills/ http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/11/whirlwind-days-concerts-new-arrivals-and-bills/#comments Wed, 25 Nov 2009 04:27:39 +0000 Jayml http://www.rah-kun.net/?p=993 It’s been a nutty week or two here, time seems to be flooding by both quickly and slowly. I tell people, “I’m two minds, really, one part of me loves it here and wouldn’t mind staying a bit longer, the other part really misses Kelly and wants to be back with her.” Well, both halves [...]]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/11/whirlwind-days-concerts-new-arrivals-and-bills/feed/ 4 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/2009/07/on-business-in-china-free-time-and-contract-terminus/ http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/07/on-business-in-china-free-time-and-contract-terminus/#comments Thu, 23 Jul 2009 03:24:32 +0000 Jayml http://www.rah-kun.net/?p=596 [Originally written at 9:18 AM, July 23rd Warning: This is an extremely long post.] It’s about 9:18 AM and I’ve got a video date with Kelly in about three hours. I could just go down to the school and squat on their internet for the interim, but… I really don’t like just sitting around when everyone else [...]]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/07/on-business-in-china-free-time-and-contract-terminus/feed/ 2 http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/07/morning-opus/ http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/07/morning-opus/#comments Tue, 21 Jul 2009 23:54:58 +0000 Jayml http://www.rah-kun.net/?p=569 (Written at 8:58 AM, July 21st) Ah… my first day to just decompress. To literally just sit and do nothing. My manager/roommate is out in Xi’an for another day or so, so I have the apartment to myself. I managed to figure out how to rig his DVD player and speakers to pump out the Beatles’ [...]]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/07/morning-opus/feed/ 0 http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/07/to-do-list-for-tomorrow/ http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/07/to-do-list-for-tomorrow/#comments Mon, 20 Jul 2009 11:05:13 +0000 Jayml http://www.rah-kun.net/?p=567 This list is mostly for the benefit of you guys over there. Wherever that might be. I won’t be able to access it tomorrow. But! Here’s the Plan: Sleep in. Do some writing. Explore Xiangfan sometime after noon, when the sun is less intense. Maybe buy a beard trimmer, this thing is getting outta hand. That is all. Seriously, that’s all out of [...]]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/07/to-do-list-for-tomorrow/feed/ 3 http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/07/addendum-modulating-perspective/ http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/07/addendum-modulating-perspective/#comments Mon, 20 Jul 2009 05:08:12 +0000 Jayml http://www.rah-kun.net/?p=563 Now that I’ve got the previous post off my chest, I can relate what I wanted to actually talk about. So, in all my mental agitation over how enormous a span of time the gap between now and February seems, a funny fact came and slapped me across the face. The other foreign teacher, the one [...]]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/07/addendum-modulating-perspective/feed/ 2 http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/07/no-internet-lag/ http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/07/no-internet-lag/#comments Fri, 17 Jul 2009 05:23:44 +0000 Jayml http://www.rah-kun.net/?p=551 Ugh… this no internet thing is a real bother. I’m still not exactly settled in terms of pacing my life, so updates will be random, backdated, and sporadic for a bit, I think. One thing that I did want to mention is that my bed is made out of wood. I mean, the mattress is made [...]]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/07/no-internet-lag/feed/ 0 http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/06/crisis-averted/ http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/06/crisis-averted/#comments Fri, 19 Jun 2009 00:26:32 +0000 Jayml http://www.rah-kun.net/?p=331 We’re a bit busy packing and preparing for our RV trip up to Denali, so I can’t really make too much of a post (though I do have some pictures from my trip to the Zoo yesterday – I’ve got connections to let me see the wolves up close). However, I did more or less [...]]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/06/crisis-averted/feed/ 0
