Four Jobs!

Now I have four jobs. I work for LuDong University (my main job), then six Chinese primary school students and their parents, then Weihai Chemical Manufacturing Company (A plastics manufacturer), and now I read in English to some other business (I will learn more about this today). This brings my monthly earnings to roughly $1000 USD, or 7000 RMB/CNY.

I have been sleeping a lot, but staying up late. I was not getting the bug to pursue anything until really late at night. Rather than wait until the next day, I just decided to keep at it all night. I am back on a regular schedule now, and I feel great.

I began exercising last week. I am taking it really easy, just one or two laps around the quarter mile track, then some Kung Fu exercises, and a lot of stretching.

I'm thinking a lot of saving money. It is important to save money. With saved money I can start a business or do what I like to do.

I am writing a science fiction novel. The story centers on an alternate future where a computer makes all the rulings in legal cases.

I am learning Mandarin Chinese. I know the following:

Numbers 1-10, 100-1000

Words: university, south, left, right, turn, hello, nice to meet you, bye, thanks, how much is, this, me, Chinese, America, China, American.

Still learning, and I am getting more comfortable using pinyin pronunciations.

I set up a website for myself to route files and encrypt my Internet connections, but that has recently been blocked somewhere along the way from the US to China.
