Even Bluer Skies in Beijing

It is now August 15th, and the weather could not be better. Seriously, for all I know, this may easily be the prettiest day that the people of Beijing have seen in the last decade or so. The sky is a deep, deep blue, and whispy white clouds are floating around aimlessly. The sun is out and shining brightly, but the weather is actually farely cool for this time of year (comparatively speaking). Everyone seems a little more upbeat to me today, but perhaps it's just the fact that I actually got more than four or five hours of sleep last night.

How is August halfway over? I keep asking myself that everytime that I glance at my watch to check the time. The Olympics are flying by, and I have the feeling that my job with OMEGA will be over before I know it.

Speaking of jobs, I've recently been asked to interview for two English Teaching positions around Beijing, both at small international schools. I will most likely go to the interviews, but I don't know if I would take either of the jobs because they really don't pay that well.

We shall see, I suppose. I think that I would make a great English teacher, and I definitely like interacting with people. However, part of me feels the urge to seek out a more "professional" position around town somewhere to gain what everyone considers "valuable work experience", whatever that means.

Anyway, next post is going to be a catch-up post about the last few days, including USA Basketball and Cindy Crawford. Stay tuned!
