I've been a little lazy this week with the blog. In fact I've been a little lazy with everything, doing very little other than teaching (it's a requirement, if I could have got away with not doing I wouldn't have done!) and watching lots of DVDs. Both Gilmore Girls and Sex and the City have been well used and I broke in most of the Disney movies too, they are always good for a sing-along. I like to do that, especially with Disney movies. They are very happy movies =) actually I havn't been that lazy, I've done a lot of planning for my travels, writing down tains/planes/ferries, dates, times and destinations. It all has to be done, and of course the cost. As soon as I get my guidebook, this could be a while now. Phht.
I was most surprised in my kindergarten class earlier this week, I was almost left speechless. A child I had thought was wearing a plain t-shirt was in fact not and when he turned around his top read "Blessed are those who trust in him." It struck me as a rather odd thing to have on the back on a t-shirt in china but most apt.
I was most rudely disturbed from my sleep on Tuesday. People should have thought first about the time difference! I realise that there may have been cause for concern considering there was an earthquake of large proportions and not everybody has good Chinese geography to know that I am out of harms way. However, this lead to a frantic phone call from my sister and a number of texts in the wee hours of the morning. It was the first I'd heard of the earthquake.
It's quite shocking really, but the teachers find it funny that people have been ringing us up to check we are ok. We're doing some fundraising here at the school.
I had a dream the other night that I had come home. I was shorter than my mum, we took a minibus to church and I wasn't allowed to eat anything. How cruel! It was an odd dream.
I helped with the interview for a new English teacher Yesterday. Not that I was really given the choice, I was sat down with her and asked to talk so as to evaluate her spoken English. The poor girl was nervous too! I wonder if she gets the job.
