The time flies by

My gosh, it's already Wednesday night. Tomorrow and Friday will be my easy days teaching.

I'm slowly learning how to get lost and/or navigate my way around my little piece of China. Sometimes I'm awesome, other times I'm lost.

I got invited to go to a Chinese wedding, and then I was uninvited when I refused to let the person who invited me be more than a friend. Oh well. Now I can sleep in on Saturday.

I'm trying to learn how to cook, but really I'm just making myself sick.

I'm going to cry when my 12th graders leave me on December 10th.

Travel plans are in the works.

Happy Thanksgiving!

What's this all about?

I'm Lisa.

After graduating college from Georgia College and State University in the spring of 2011, I accepted a job teaching English in China. I left Atlanta, GA on September 4th, 2011 and I returned on July 9th, 2012.

After teaching English in China, I received a Fulbright Scholarship for an English Teaching Assistantship (ETA) through the U.S. Department of State. My additional project while in Mongolia was researching family and cultural values. I traveled to Mongolia on August 7th, 2012 and I returned to America on June 9th, 2013.

I was accepted into the University of South Dakota's PhD program for Clinical Psychology in 2013. After 5 years, I graduated from the University of South Dakota in the summer of 2018, after completing my residency in Dayton, Ohio as a Captain in the USAF. Following that, the Air Force moved me to Texas and I became a licensed Clinical Psychologist.

I'm currently living in Abilene, Texas.
