We just stayed around the apartment this
morning. I was waiting to hear from Eva
how to change a grade for two of the students that I messed up on. She sent me a form that she helped me fill out
over the phone (it was all in Chinese).
Then at noon, David and I went to the canteen to wait for Ning Ming, the
head of the College of English, and the Dean of the College of English so that
they could sign my form also.
After we had the form signed, we went back
to the apartment for lunch. We had to
wait until 2 p.m. until we could take it to another office (all the offices
close up for a 1 ½ to 2 hour lunch here on campus), when the lady who has the
red stamp is supposed to be in the office so that I can get to the next
step. The lady with the red stamp (they
love red stamps here, especially with a star on it!) wasn’t there, but a guy came
into the office and he talked with Ming and Eva on the phone and they told him
what was needed. He searched through the
lady’s desk and found the red stamp and put it where it needed to be. Then we walked over to the administration
building with the form with all the signatures and the red stamp and took it to
the office we needed to go to.
Once we got there, we called Eva and she
talked to the girl at the desk and told her what we needed. The lady who is in charge of the online
grades was not there, but we had the paper at the correct place and the woman
would be in tomorrow and get the program unlocked so that I can change the
grades for those two girls sometime in the next few days. Whew!
David and I walked to RT Mart and In
Zone. We had heard that a basement part
of In Zone has lots of little shops and you can get things cheaper there. I have walked though one of the pairs of
shoes that I brought with me, so it was necessary to get a new pair. (That’s how much walking we do here!) We found a shop that had likely good
shoes. We tried on a few pairs and found
one that we hope will be good. At least
they feel better than the pair I was wearing, so I wore then out of the
shop. That feels better!
We shopped at RT Mart for some groceries
and then walked home. Now we pack for
the trip tomorrow to the Tianmu Hot Springs and Spa where we can let little
fishes eat the dead skin off of our bodies…
