We were not good people and did not get to bed when we
should have last night. It was hard to
get up and get moving as a result. I was
still able to make it to the bus stop and catch the K55 to the Baotuquan Campus
where I was able to arrive in plenty of time to for my class. I think I have found the perfect way to get
to that campus and back without all the stress of the hike it is to the 75 bus
stop.
My classes went well.
We had a discussion/debate about wearing uniforms in college. These students wear uniforms from
Kindergarten through High School, so for some, the idea of wearing them again
in college is just too abhorrent for them.
In the 8 a.m. class, we had some on both sides of the question. Some thought it would be a step backwards to
have to wear them again and others think they wouldn’t mind. The conversation got rather lively and we had
a lot of fun with the discussion. The 10
a.m. class was ALL on the side of never having to wear uniforms again for
school, so we didn’t have much discussion.
I had to work pretty hard to get any answers or discussion out of
them. Boy! Was I glad when that class ended! It’s not supposed to be just me up there
talking, but getting them to talk too.
I was pretty tired when I got home, so we had lunch and I
did a little work while I did Facetime with Alisa and then took a nap when I
couldn’t hold my head up anymore. After
my nap, I went back to work and then at four, David left to teach his student how
to play football. He had to leave that
early so that he could go talk with his co-teacher, Shifang, about an idea he
has and also some things about the new teachers to that are coming to replace
us next year.
Eva came over about 5:15 and wanted to show us the pictures
of her weekend. She went to her hometown
to see her brother’s new baby and celebrate his 100th day. It is a pretty big day in the life of a baby
and they have some traditions surrounding it.
I made a stew and she had dinner with us. Now it’s time for bed again.
