The time is getting nearer

I can't believe that we're 2.5 weeks away. It really hit me when I saw Linda this morning. She is leaving for the west coast and Alaska tonight. I'm home trying to patch my house up before it falls apart, doing some curriculum work, trying to get a little healthier after a crazy Spring, studying about China, and immersing myself in Chinese whenever I get the chance. The Chinese classes with Anja have been a lot of fun. Some funny misunderstandings have already occurred. The biggest one that you all should be aware of is that Bruce has sold the group already. He mistook one verb for another, but no big deal. After all, didn't Bruce choose us because we could handle whatever was thrown at us? Before you know it, we'll be climbing the Great Wall! Ron
