David and I both had our last day of finals today. I was doing pretty good until about the last
five interviews and some of the students just said how much they were going to
miss me and how much they loved being in my class. As I talk with each of these students, I can
hear how much they have improved in their ability to speak English. There were only about ten out of the 270
freshmen that seemed to have any trouble when I asked them questions that were
outside of their memorized speech.
Several of them had gifts for me also.
I will miss these young people and hope that I can see them again
someday.
After lunch, we had planned to go with the Pace’s to Black
Tiger and Five Dragon Springs, but the weather was still threatening to rain,
so we didn’t go. We got some things done
for our grades. I am having trouble putting mine in the computer because I can’t
read the Chinese and the page that I went to last semester looks like it has
changed. Now I have to wait until I can
get someone here to help me.
We met the Pace’s and the Clarke’s at the teacher
restaurant. It is Nancy’s birthday today
and they were “treating” us all to dinner with their meal credits. We were successful in using some of them
up. After dinner, they all came here and
we talked and played games. It was a fun
evening, a nice way to celebrate a birthday.
