Seasons Greetings! I swear the Chinese celebrate Christmas more than Americans do! They have decorations everywhere! (If only they knew the religious connotations behind Christmas, then maybe that may all change their ways)

The picture above is from Thanksgiving, Pablo, Phoebe, Phoebe's parents (who were visiting) and I all went to the Ritz for Thanksgiving dinner, amazing food. We ate until we were about to explode (buffet) and then we all decided to have a night cap at Cloud 9 in the JinMao Tower. Excellent night with the Scott family!

Despite all of the Christmas cheer, I miss home and snow! I miss the family element of the Holidays. This is my first Holiday season away from home, and I have to admit, it is a little odd...


I don't really know what to say about this photo. . .
Last Saturday i went to club Bon Bon to see DJ Green Lantern! He took a liking to me and I got to hang out with him backstage, along with getting a photo him and everything! For the uninitiated... DJ Green Lantern was Eminem's DJ and now is signed to Def Jam as a DJ with the Invasion Movement. You can hear DJ Green Lantern on Hot 97 in NYC and on Sirrus radio... he is the real deal, and im standing right next to him!

This is a photo of me pre-go-karting... too much fun

Finally, I feel like I need to move on with some aspects of my life and some thoughts. My memories of home and what "home" is, is simply what I left. I still think that it is summer time, green grass, green trees, people cruising down Lake Shore Drive with the tops down on their Pontiacs. The harsh reality is, things change, the weather changes and most of all, people change... and slowly I feel like home is forgetting me. Out of sight is out of mind right? Im being very general, so those looking at the particulars, do not think i am pointing fingers, I am not.

Classes are going well, the kids really like me and I have taken a liking to a couple of my schools (i teach at 3 different schools). It is open class day next week, this is where parents come into the class and watch. Im going to nail it, i know it, parents tend to enjoy watching my classes because I am such an insane teacher haha. I try to make the most boring stuff, as fun as possible. Until next time!
