Still Alive... but in Grand Rapids

I suppose if my brother can remember to add to his blog, I should to.
What has happened since my last post:

I took my last course at Calvin. I discovered last semester that if you are a full-time student during the fall, an interim (January) course is included in tuition. So I figured why waste the opportunity to procrastinate getting a job. I took "Village Religion In China" taught by visiting professor John Lagerway. It was a pretty interesting class despite being at 8:30 in the morning. Some of the stuff I saw in China began to make sense and I learned quite a bit in general about China.

After I finished up the course I went for a week long visit to my parents house up in Alliston. It was pretty relaxing. My mom and I went down to Toronto one day and despite the freezing cold temperatures we walked to Toronto's Chinatown and ate at a pretty authentic Chinese restaurant. It brought back some pleasant memories of China.

Now that I am back in Grand Rapids, I've busied myself with trying to find a job. I sent out several resumes and hopefully I'll hear back from at least one or two of them.

Janson has been working really hard on a project at work (going in early, staying late) and he called tonight wondering if I could swing by with some dinner. Right now he's finishing up working and I am using his laptop. From what I can tell, his job as a software developer consists of a lot of typing and clicking, interjected randomly with sighs of frustration or victory.

I wish I had something a little more exciting to write about. All I can think of are stupid little anecdotes about my kitties. I've been thinking about every once in a while posting a picture from China and writing about it... maybe one of these days I'll remember to do that.
