So as you can see by the title, time is flying and it doesn't seem like yesterday that we had the initial meeting about China ... which was in February!
We've ordered all the equipment, flights are booked, I've had all my jabs, we've briefly met our translators via Skype, and it's all becoming a little too real now!
We are planning to teach dance, drumming, steel pans, singing, flute, guitar keyboard all together with some art and crafts, and whatever else they come up with! All for a final performance in the park in front of several thousand people!
ARGH!
I've not learnt much more Mandarin - I've been too busy with deadlines and flute practise for recital and my Grade 8 in 2 weeks - but hopefully all will be well with the three girls from China who are going to help us out! They all play chinese flute which will be cool as I can learn another instrument, and bring something back with me! Also they're all into swimming so that will give us something fun to do in the evenings!
I'm starting to realise how long it is away from home, and how much I will miss everybody here, especially Joe... and I'm actually starting to look forward to the 10th of September when I will be home. Silly really as I haven't even gone yet!
The only things left to do is finalise lesson plans, set up international calls and pack!!
Where is time going?!
