| Bill in Beijing That Which Passes Passes Like Clouds |
Push ups at 6:00 AM anyone?I have a few minutes to kill before I need to preapre for my class at Coke-a Cola. I am starting an ESL class there today. It will happen once a week and the level is pretty high so I can relax on the one hand, but I also have to sharp as a tack for 90 minutes. It is not easy at the end of the day to do that. It is amazing what strengths you summon when you have to. I learned how to do this long ago in different situations, around the time of my divorce and the turbulent period that follwed that period. It was an existence lived by the seat of my pants and the skin of my teeth. I am so tired now, but I can manage the situation and I will face the moment and get through it and then past it. I will wake up tomorrow and do it all over again. It is always so noisy here in Beijing. Construction and traffic. Car horns blare constantly. There is always the pounding away of hammers and the clanging, banging of pipes and metal. At 6:30 AM every morning some broadcast is blasted out over a PA system somewhere. I guess it is some early morning motivation propoganda or excercise instructions. Who the hell needs to be outside at around 6:00AM to exercise? I wish i had a friggin' bazooka everytime that damn thing goes off. It is so dusty too. My mouth is parched and dry and my skin is covered in some white ash most of the time. My eyes burn from something. I am such a whimp.
