The Travelers

Here is the gang who will be travelling abroad!! Mallory and I will be spending our time in Guangzhou and the guys will be heading up to Xi'an for their teaching placements. Even though we are paired up in our cities we are still a good bit away from each other. Mallory and I are going to be about an hour and a half apart from each other even though we are in the same city! But with a population of 12,000,000 in Guangzhou what can you expect?!

Welcome!

Hello everyone! My name is Jessica Driapsa. I am a senior at Shawnee State University in Portsmouth, Ohio. I am an education major, planning to teach math in grades 7-12. On February 4th, 2008 I will be leaving the states and travelling to Guangzhou, China where I will be staying for three months to complete my student teaching. I am going to be teaching 8th and 9th grade math at HS Kama International School. You can visit the schools website at www.hskama.com. It is an interesting site, but unfortunately its all in chinese! I was able to find some great pictures of the campus on there though.

I have set up this blog so I can easily document my travels and my experiences while I am in China. I hope to update quite frequently and I hope to be able to upload a lot of pictures too! So keep checking back for updates!!
