I actually got my TEFL through my job. They paid for the training, but it's only a 40 hour tefl. If I finish training (and some additional stuff) I can get a 120 hour tefl.
But I do have a college degree. Correct me if I"m wrong, but I don't think suits has finished his college degree yet but he teaches english. Ask him about that (if that is true).
Funny shit from tonight:
I invite hubei girl over for a second night. I go in thinking I have it in the bag, but when she arrives I can sense something is off. I can't put my finger on it, but she was quite awkward. her english isn't great, but something about her struck me as mechanical and practice. A certain Je ne sais quoi that I expect from human beings was lacking. Anyway, we got to the coffee house near my apartment and she buys coffee for me. That was a nice gesture.
We drink the coffee and go up to my apartment. I'm pretty happy at this point, because in the states if you have a girl in your house she's pretty much trying to get banged.
I have the perfect excuse, too: "come check out my new apartment!"
We get up there and I put on some music. Mostly 90s grunge: alice in chains, nirvana, Smashing pumpkins and that other stuff. We talk for a bit. I'm touching her hair and her body and she doesn't seem to mind. I go in for the kiss and She rejects it. I shrug it off and we start talking some more. we're touching again and her body language opens up a bit more. At some point she just comes out with it and says, "I don't know how to say this, but I came over as a friend."
I'm like, "ok."
We make lame idle talk for another 5 minutes and then she leaves. Thank god. One thing I have to get used to is the people trying to befriend me because I'm exotic and different. gotta be a way to screen for chinese chicks who are just looking to be seen with an American.
