The views expressed on this site are my own and do not represent those of the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Peace Corps, or the Chinese government. Thursday, May 28, 2009. Reflections on joining the PC). The hardest part about applying to the Peace Corps is the waiting. What makes it even worse is that I am definitely not a patient person. Making jokes about the Peace Corps without really understanding what it was all about! Go on, call me an ass, I deserve it! OMG, look at all the Asian countries!

Wednesday, June 30, 2010. 舍不得: growing pains of the heart. I did not think I could love so many people so quickly and so deeply. Last semester, when I was not teaching, I was hiding out at home, spending my surplus of time on the stack of novels I lugged all the way from Hawaii ne. But this semester, I began to willingly. I usually enjoy thinking about t...

More than ten hours after a tearful goodbye at the airport, I arrived in San Francisco late last night, only to get stuck in the spinning door to the Kabuki Hotel's lobby (thanks to my too-big, too-heavy suitcase). A ridiculous start to a ridiculous adventure! Ha-ha You're so funny. But it's okay, I'll let her sleep.". We all seem ...

I had no idea what I got myself into when I said "YES! To a student to who asked for a Halloween Party. Heck, I'm all for sharing a holiday that celebrates freaks and creeps!

Dustin in China: August 2008
http://dustinooleyinchina.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Going Back to China. So maybe my last post was a little unfair. Or a lot. I have also found that my 4 favorite phrases do not work as well in America. I am referring to those four phrases that can help one evade any social situation (almost):. I have friends waiting for me.". I am a little busy.". That's not convenient.". I have something to do.".
