Sunday morning meeting.
I went to the sunday morning meeting at my school today. It was 2.5 hours of listening to chinese people and I sat there correcting Coco's little Chinese to English Restaurant Conversation booklet. Bond told me I had to be there but when I got there everyone was like, what are you doing here? Whatever. But the good thing about it was that everyone was giving everyone else little red packets of Chinese New Year Money. The school itself gave everyone 150RMB. SWEET! It was awesome. I love my school. For other reasons than this. My school, from what I understand from other teachers, is very relaxed. They let me come and go after my classes done. Its great. Other teachers have to be there all day if they dont have anything to do. During the meeting everyone was given a small pile of sunflower seeds on their desk area. For about 1 hour, 50 teachers were constantly chewing on these sunflower seeds. I swear, I felt like I was in a giant bowl of Rice Crispies with the SNAP CRACKLE POP! going off. Thats what it felt like. It was very loud.
After the meeting, we had dance rehearsal. Apparently in 2 weeks there is a dance competition for teachers at different schools. They had a girl come in and show some dance steps. Its very very cheesy. The type of dance you do for aerobics. Its actually quite funny. I think they really want me to do it. What the hell, I will. It will make for great journal entries and video. The best thing about it...we get to do "jazz hands"! YES! And of course, the chinese have made it mechanical, no feeling behind it. Very funny. Lets see how that goes.
We then all went out to Dim Sum. mmmm yummmy dim sum.
After that I headed home and started writing up these jounral entries.
