I kept up my pact to not use internet and remained thoroughly immersed in my books. Eventually, after about a month, my friend Dogi asked me if I wanted to work at a new language school and I agreed. I told myself, 'Yeah, why not teach and save some money for a few months.' But the real reason I got a job was because I was dreading the moment when I left Vietnam - I really love this country and have become quite attached over the years. I wasn't ready to leave. Thus, several months after Chi left, I met Y (pronounced like the letter "E") who worked with me. We began seeing each other in November.
