4th Day of Celebrity.
Hopfully today it has cooled off. my first class, I only got a couple of cat calls. Thankfully. My second class was canceled right as I almost entered the room. Lucy said, "Oh, i want to give a test...so you can have a rest." Not like I need a rest. I wish she could have told me yesterday because then I could have gone and done something else to make use of my time. Instead I am just wasting it in the office. Thats the chinese way.
Today is my last day at this school for this sememster. If I do decide to come back to BOND for another 6 months, its possible I may not be back here. I would like to though.
This morning I asked Anna, "Does the Headmaster ever smile? Everytime i see him, he looks mad, or with no emotion." After she figured out what I was talking about she laughed and she said that I wasn't the only one. Everyone else says hi and he shows no emotion whatsoever. Strange.
The system has defeated him.
I need to find out if I have to teach Kindergarten next week. I dont believe so, but I need to make sure. I also have to decide about other positions soon. If I stay here, I need to get my VISA taken care of before Chinese Winter Holiday. That would be nice. But being this China...it won't work.
I got my last couple 3rd grade classes to play hangman among themselves. That went over very well. The kids loved it. They all wanted to pick the word and write it on the board.
After class was over I left. It sure didn't feel like the last day at the school.
I had kindergarten and that went ok. I made Psycho Pig-Pen sit out for about 20 minutes.
Then I went out to dinner with Peter and some of his English teachers. I was super tired from everything thru out the week that I feel asleep on the schools benches while waiting for the teachers to get ready. We headed to the dinner and it was ok. The teachers already knew me from TV. They ordered a pig's stomach filled with lots of stuff. It was funny to see them bring out a stomach bloated up and blood red. They then put it in a pot and turned it into a soup. they also had this fish that was just ok. I really liked the dried Sweet Potatoes though. We had dinner with the teachers, headmaster and principal, who was the husband of the english teacher from my school that gave birth this semester.
After that was over, I came home and fell asleep at 10pm....goodnite.
