I doubt there is not a single person out of the 2000 strong school that has not said this, but it's ok...
The treatment I get in this school is like the last one but x1000. Everyone is so much more happy to have me around, I feel really like respected and thanked which is good for my shanghai broken ego. Though I have probably already put on about 5 stone or something ha haa.
Last night I had to have dinner all alone because the english teacher, christy, had to go and see her ill mother so I had to rely on my own devices to get around and make sure I didn't starve. I had alot of snickers bars. But seriously everyone is very nice, There is always a crowd of about 30 people waiting for me outside my office, maybe it'll change! who knows.
Also I watched the sequal to Donnie Darko - S. Darko ... aweful. Then I watched 2 episodes of stargate atlantis - awe...SOMEE! I'm actually looking forward to watching more tonight. I'm sorry this blog seems to have turned into a monologue of my life. Lets get back on track.

I still don't actually know my full timetable, but instead I seem to be finding out on a day-by-day basis, It doesn't matter at all because I'm free all the time but I suppose it would be nice to get into a routine. I taught two fifth grade classes today, and two sixth graders yesterday which went super well, they really loved me. I feel really confident in classes now though. When I think of how I felt/taught when I first arrived in china I can't help but feel proud. I'm not brilliant, but i'm not a cowering wreck like before...
After class it was a trip to the cafe behind the school for lunch. I think the school and them have struck up a deal so I don't have to pay for food which is good! Perhaps the variety isn't as good as the shanghai school but still very good. Oh man food is spicy though. The first hot pot I had I was very very close to tears so they gave me a less spicey dish haha. Following lunch me and christy took a trip to the haircutter people who gave me like a massage, washed my hair, cleaned my face and errr... my ears too.

Now I'm at the teachers house watching chinese music videos and blogging. Huzzah.
