My classes went well today.
I showed them the old movie, Johnny Lingo and talked about
respect for others and marriage customs.
It went well.
David was able to have two of his class monitors, Cat and
Sally, go with him to get his haircut.
We know that Zhao Feng Wei (the hair cutting woman) likes to talk while
she cuts hair, but since we know so little Chinese, it is hard to have a
conversation. She appreciated having the
girls there so that when she wanted to talk with David, they could interpret
for her and for him.

After David, Cat and Sally were done, they went to the
teacher restaurant and waited for me to be done teaching so we could repay them
by giving them lunch. They were not very
talkative at lunch, I think they were kind of shy, but they did get some
practice in.
This afternoon, we both took naps and then I had school work
to do. Because I lost all the data on my
students when I had my computer wiped for the Trojan virus, I had to start over
again with entering all the names and student numbers and then catching up all
the data that I could so I can give them a grade. It is not fun and it is tedious, but it has
to be done.
We went to Yon Ho for supper, just to get out of the
apartment for a while and then came back.
The wind has been blowing pretty hard all day and it is blowing the
cotton around. Makes it miserable to
want to be outside.
