Yesterday was my last day of class. We all took the TEFL test. In order to get my SAFEA certificate (which then allows me to become a resident of Ma'anshan!) I have to pass the test. I am almost positive I did.
Today was an absolutely gorgeous day in Beijing. I woke up around 10 and left to get breakfast at BREAD TALK (amazing bread products... croissants) and get my nails done. I felt like a queen at the manicure place. I was sitting in a huge comfy chair with my feet up. The two girls who did my nails were so sweet and let me practice my Chinese with them!
After I got my nails done, Henry (the other English teacher going to Ma'anshan) and I went to the silk market. I got Rosetta Stone for $15! Levels 1-3... I am so excited! I also got a few movies, the full seasons of Modern Family and Breaking Bad. I am definitely set for a little!
Walking around Beijing today was so relaxing. As I mentioned before the weather was absolutely gorgeous. It was a perfect fall day.. yes, FALL, with the wind blowing. I can only hope Ma'anshan will be as pretty.
I never thought I would feel at home while being in Beijing. I am definitely sad to leave but I am excited to finally get settled and start teaching!
I arrive tonight around midnight (SCARY). Hopefully tomorrow I will get my schedule and find out what year I am teaching.
