It's been:
2 years since I graduated college.
1 year since I realized that I was not cut out for a desk job.
8 months since I started actively pursuing my idea to leave the country.
3 months since I was offered a job teaching English in China.
2 months since I signed the contract.
And 2 weeks since I quit my desk job.
In two weeks I will be landing in Beijing for what I expect to be the most exciting adventure of my life. Adventure. I've been jumping off cliffs for months now in pursuit of it. I can't get enough. Ironic, I'm a Capricorn, we don't do this sort of thing. And we don't quit our jobs and sell all of our worldly possessions just to have a chance to try something new. We plan and save and revel in stability.
Yet here I am, exercising complete abandon of caution. I'm moving to a country so foreign that I don't even know what to be excited about. I certainly can't envision it when I close my eyes... regardless of how many times I tour the city on Google Earth. (Look how happy the Bejing airport is!!!)
