I had my classes today.
The students for my 8 a.m. class applauded me when I came in. True to their word, they had a chair ready
for me to use and sit down when I needed to.
They had also written a big “Welcome Back” on the chalkboard for me that
I didn’t notice until I went to write next week’s assignment on the board. We did individual presentations and then
planned to finish the rest of the movie, Cheaper by the Dozen after the
break. We were about 10 minutes from the
end when the computer started having problems with the DVD and stopped playing
the movie. We tried rebooting the
computer and anything else we could think of, but nothing worked. I finally played a song for them and then the
class time was over. It didn’t do it for
the second class in a different classroom.
I hope it doesn’t do that of Friday when I use that same classroom.
After lunch, David and Stan Pace had planned to meet with
one of David‘s students so they could go get the tickets for the train trip to
Hangzhou next week. China has made a new
rule that when you first get your train tickets, you have to go to the big main
station for the tickets instead of the smaller ticketing office that is close
to our campus. They came back here for a
few minutes and then decided to make the trip to the main station and get the
tickets today anyway. After a couple of
bus rides, and some hassles with a mix up of the tickets and then a call to Eva
to talk to the Chinese agent, they were successful in getting the tickets. David stopped at RT Mart on his way home and
got pickles for his sandwiches at lunch.
When the four girls came for tutoring tonight, two of the
mothers wanted to come in and make sure I was well. They had wanted to come to the hospital, but
Lisa didn’t have time to come with them and interpret for them. The girls brought me another BIG bunch of
bananas and a large watermelon and a bouquet of flowers. We had a fun time with the tutoring again by playing,
“I Spy With My Little Eye.”
