Aside from money, I made the unfortunate discovery that there's nothing in my passport where my residency permit should be. My entry visa has not yet expired, but all the same I'm worried and hate the idea that I might have to leave my classes for a day to take care of it. Not only does that mean a day of paperwork for me, but less time with my students and more time to make up material the next time I see them to ensure my classes are on the same page. I felt really awful at our hostel when they couldn't register me since I know that's a huge liability to them to have guests that are not registered with the local police. Fortunately, nothing happened but I'm working on it as soon as possible. I just feel like I've had tons of things fall on me this past month both from the US and from China. Not to mention, I still need to check in with both my family and my college to make sure that my diploma was mailed. I would really love to see it someday and I never did see it before I left for Hunan. I'm sure I'll get it all resolved some way or another and quit snapping at people. I really do feel awful about that and I know that as a generally quiet person it hits people even harder when I am snappy or aggressive. Thankfully, I never seem to have this problem in the classroom though most of the time my students just need me to tell them to put their other books and things away, stop talking to each other and stop touching each other.
