I need a jw102?

Dear Tony,

I am in the process of gaining access to China in January 2002.
I think I need some help.
I can't figure out what I need in the Visa Dept.
They say that if I have student buisiness in China I need a jw102?
What is that?
Can I apply for a Visa over the Net?
Also,
I wanted to know if you can help me aquire Geography units next summer.
Are you taking students on a feild methods trip?
Can I sign up if I am already there?
My goal is to spend a continuous year in China as an HSU student.

I get Excited

Near the end of my time in the City, after I hung out with my Tech Friend, I went to the airport and my buddy got off a plane from South America. We went to the east bay and from there to the mountains. I sent an email to my old roommates about it. I told them that when we got to the Sierra Nevada we saw a bunch of old friends. One of them had taken a job as a driving instructor.

Here are some quotes from our weekend:
"I could tell what happened as soon as I walked in; there was blood all over the back of his pants."
"It gets bigger when I get Excited."
"Seriously?...Really?...Now don't get me...(repeat)"

My roommate is always talking about weird stuff. The last thing I heard from her was about dead flesh and worms and how she felt like she had eaten too much. I asked her if she had written those two things together on purpose.

The Tech Guy

My friend, the tech guy, is a programmer at a big routing software firm. He and I went to the park with his friends and their kids some time ago. I know it may sound clichĂ© but they are European artists. My tech friend and I spoke English with them since we don’t speak French or Portuguese. It was a cute outing.

He and I made plans a week or so after he left for Silicon Valley to hang out. I sent him some updates on the European Family and we agreed to go to a show in the City’s SOMA. I had to go to an internet cafĂ© to find him when I arrived. We met up with one of my neighbors and danced to a DJ at a club.

There is a Relationship

A friend emailed me the other day to say he was flying back from South America. We made plans to meet in SF. I noticed that I am always trying to use the popular lingo but I just sound like a dork. Meanwhile he seemed really happy to have bought a ticket. He was telling everyone about it months ahead of time.

On the home front I finally got a new place and have settled in. I’ve been thinking a lot about it and I make noises to all of my friends about it. I have a great location but can’t have a pet.

School has been tempering my feelings for my erstwhile girlfriend, who has driven out to Virginia and the Carolinas. However, as school wound down I started to freak out because she seemed incommunicado. Her emails during this period always mention visiting me. Meanwhile near the end of the semester missed my English class and turned in a bunch of homework late. Maybe there is a relationship.

I heard from my buddy from the ceramics lab. She said she was in central California. Our mutual art friends were all away in foreign lands—in Greece or circumnavigating the earth. Many of them lived most of the last semester in a small house on a hill next to the university. A lot of our friends would hang out there.

I was slacking

My old roommate moved in with a couple of new people.  I think they had some foreign friends stay with them the other day. I told my friend traveling in foreign lands about it. He wanted to volunteer at some places but it would seem that it didn’t work out. I asked him about coming back to the states.

On day one I was slacking and missed a class because of it. I played it off with my teacher and nearly admitted my failure to her. I tried to make it sound like I was busy but it didn’t sound very convincing. I later discovered that she  wanted me to return some school equipment. It was a digital camera that I used to make a report on bridges I had visited around the county. I gave it to the lab manager to give to her later.
