I wanna go to China bad.  I love to travel.  The funny thing is that when I went to bed on Thursday night traveling to China this summer was the last thing on my mind.  Now when I woke up and found info about a program that allows graduate students to teach over there during the summer....well now I have to go.  I feel compelled to convince these people that I should be allowed to teach at their University.  I want to see Bejing and the Forbidden Palace....grrrr.....  we'll see.  I'll keep you updated on my attempts to flee to the communist country.
