It's unbelievable how boring life can be at one point, and how stormy it can be after a second. Just a month ago I was still wondering about my near future. 2 months ago was sure Rob's gonna come here for his internship and I'll work teaching English in kindergartens. I had an apartment that was all set to "absorb" us as a couple, and everything seemed obvious and normal and routine. But then came the stupid war, and changed my life. Completely. In a week we decided that Israel 2006-2007 is not the place for us, and we should look for a new place. Rob suggested a few places on earth. I chose China. Preferably Shanghai.
I was considering a few aspects in this decision:
1. I was already there- the shock will be a bit more subtle.
2. I already started learning the language- must be easier than starting something from scratch
3. Going to an English speaking country- gives me no benefit- I already know the language- so no language to learn- and getting a working permit in these countries for me is almost impossible.
Fortunately Rob found a place close to Shanghai.
He's flying there on Sunday, its 4 days from now... His flight makes mine closer and closer... I wish I flew with him, or at least at the same time, but I've decided to stay here for a couple of reasons: the first would be to stay here for the holiday (Rosh Hashana) on the 22nd with my mom. The second is Yifat's brother's wedding on the 20th. So I've decided to take a flight right after the holiday on the 26th of September.
To finish with what I said in the beginning- how unbelievable it is that one second your life can be so boring and the other so stormy- now it seems like I have nothing to do- I have no job, and the only highlight of my day is the gym- and even that- I'm a bit too lazy to go...
I have started going over my Chinese notes, but found that its rather hard to do that alone with no push from anyone else... But I'll just have to do it.
