true to a distinctive chinese style, the school has changed some details last minute. I rephrase that, a month in advance is a lengthy forewarning by chinese standards, but there it is, they changed the date of the school's graduation ceremony. It was supposed to be on the 10th but is now on the 12th. I suppose that I should be glad that I hadn;t booked any flights yet which I had intended on doing yesterday but it caused chaos for my plans. I got myself a little worked up thinking that a) we would have to get an expensive flight so as to waster no further time, b) sacrifice a destination on our travels or c) not go to the graduation. All 3 were not things I wanted to do. However, today I am thinking much more clearly and have realised that I don't need to see the great wall or the summer palace again (as much as I would like to) thus we set our plans back a few days and I lose time in Beijing. There is a solution to everything! Now this means that I get to see my version of Snow White 9written by yours truly) perfromed on stage by my darling P6B. I think I may have been quite cruel to them yesterday, but it was all for my own amusement!! You must understand that I had a reason for this! They seem to have a problem with the idea of Prince Charmingconfessing his love, to a girl of all things!! so we played honey,do you love me? It was hilarious especially after they targeted Michelle (their new english teacher) and myself. So much hassle over telling someone you love them. Well they are at that age. I also focused on the final scene. I removed the life giving kiss (too risque!) but replaced it with a dance. Trying to get them to even vaguely appear as though they were dancing together had the boys in hysterics and the poor couple cringing. I was suitably entertained!
There could be more that I can waffle on about but now does not feel like the time. I am far too happy that I have found a solution to a ratehr depressing prospect. I did learn 2 new words yesterday (english ones) puerile and puckish and to think I'd call myself a fluent speaker!
