I lived in Collins on and off from fall 1988 to spring 1994. Here's my update:After spending eight years teaching in China, I decided I needed something new. I've now returned to the US and am working toward an MA in Teaching English as a Second Language from Michigan State University. I'm missing China, speaking Chinese, public transportation, great food, and cheap clothing, not to mention all my friends in Shanghai. When I'm done with my degree, I may go back there, or I might try Japan, where I've always wanted to go but have never been. In other details, in the past few years I've gotten into photography and have had some pictures published. I've also discovered I'm not too bad at karaoke. Some of my specialty songs include "These Boots Are Made for Walking," "House of the Rising Sun," and Minnie Ripperton's execrable "Loving You."
