Well, I did it again.  I went back to one of the job applications I was considering and found that I’ve actually missed the application deadline.  That’s the third time that’s happened this year.  The next time I copy job info I have to go through it carefully and underline all the important stuff, like when it should be sent in, what should be included, etc.

I’ve been thinking about my desire to leave.  Shanghai is so big that it’s overwhelming and intimidating.  I haven’t ever gotten fond of this city, and I don’t think I’ll ever feel like it’s “my” city.  The huge streets, scary intersections and excessive traffic make going anyplace very difficult and stressful.  On the other hand, if I go somewhere else, I’ll have to start all over again.  I’ll have to meet new people, when I was just starting to make friends here.  I’ll miss the dogs, the dog man, and his family.  But, I do feel I’m in a rut.  I think I NEED to go someplace new.  I can always come back and visit Shanghai from time to time if I want to.  It’s only like sixty miles away.  I’m just wondering if I’m not really valuing what I have here right now.  On the other hand, if I haven’t liked it so much here for three years, why just sit around rather than trying someplace new?
