I love the picture of the new baby, but I miss seeing Audrey’s sweet face on the old design, if you want my vote.
After a really busy week, I have no teaching responsibilities today. Instead, I’m correcting and grading 42 resumes and cover letters. It’s probably a good thing I’m staying in–my right leg is swollen, burning, and hurting. And just when I bragged to John about how healthy I’ve been. I’m kinda concerned about it because I’ve never experienced anything like this before.
That aside, reading the resumes is quite entertaining. I’ll share a few quotes: “So give me a chance for an interview, and I will give you a surprise.” “Operate masterfully with WP…”; “My ability to write English is out of the question”; “make some flash animations adroitly.” I love seeing and hearing our language used from another point of view. When John retires and becomes a transit consultant, I’m going to become a consultant for correct usage of English for advertising in foreign countries.
Tonight (Friday) I’m taking Susan and Andrea to see the Bund all lit up. Tomorrow my dean invited me on a day trip to Suzhou. I asked if Susan and Andrea could come along, and she ordered a larger bus to accommodate two more people. She (Dean Li) has been very gracious and accommodating.
I’m on the home stretch, just hoping I can remain mobile for another week.
