Hi everyone!

Sorry for my lack of posting.  The Internet here is very slow, and some pages seems to work better than others.  A lot of the time, the speed reminds me of 1990s Internet.  I have a lot of stories and pictures to share from my first weekend in Xi’an!  For now, I am preparing to teach!  In two hours, my graduate assistant, Winnie, will be meeting me in my hotel lobby to escort me to class.  I teach from 2:30-5:30.  I am nervous and excited…. but isn’t that always what happens before the first day of school? 🙂  Never in my wildest dreams could I have ever imagined I would be teaching a graduate seminar in China. Wow. More soon – hopefully this evening.
