Today I review with class 2, and tomorrow they take the final exam. As I am correcting their resumes, I thought I would share with Gage that one of the students listed her hobby as graffiti. You would like her, her name’s Vanilla Chou. I’m trying hard to persuade one of The guys to change his name to something other than Grubby–it doesn’t look good on his resume. OH, and Gage, remember that I wondered why the Chinese were so fond of rabbits? It’s the year of the Rabbit…..duh.
During the time I was unable to blog I notified the registration desk that I had a friend coming to stay with me in my room. The clerk said, “OK, what’s the problem?” I replied that I just wanted to make sure that it was OK. The answer was, “Sure, just have him show us his passport when he gets here. Should I have been flattered?
I had my blood pressure checked yesterday on the sidewalk on my way to tai chi class. If I understood the numbers correctly, I’m in great shape. I’m always so proud of myself when I can ask “how much” in Chinese, but then I never understand the answers.
I should carry my camera with me at all times. On my way to the post office I passed, at our front door, a vendor selling the chef turtles for that night’s dinner. It wasn’t the fact of the live turtles, but the fact that the vendor was a scruffy old man on a rusty bike with the turtles riding in the basket on the front. I don’t think they have FDA here.
- Today is spa day. Back to the singing hairdressers to have our eyebrows threaded and have a good pedicure.
- If you can’t read the sign from the kitchen, it says in case of fire to throw the blanket on it.
