Trials and Tribulations

Yesterday I had a really hard day. I like freaked out about my ELE 

class and what I was going to do. Then they were telling eachother 

answers and stuff so I was way annoyed because I can't speak 

Chinese and tell them exactly or stop them. So after it was over 

and I turned a corner, I just started crying and when I got back 

Bryndi tried to comfort me and I just cried for a little longer. I 

think I'm just way stressed. But I wrote down the things I need to 

accomplish and hopefully that will help. It was awesome though when 

Kim came and told us we only had to teach one rotation of kids. We 

had a good opening and like some of my kids like me! Whoot. Haha. 

Then I taught my homeroom class and ran around taking pictures with 

all the kids and of all of them. :) that was fun. Then we sat in 

Tim's office until it was time for the teacher meeting/assembly 

thing. He took is to the gym and had use pull out notebooks (just 

for show) and we doodled,wrote lists, and did lesson planning while 

sitting through a very very boring assembly of only teachers. The 

worst part is just not being able to understand a word. The speakers 

were right in front of us Blaring! I could have sworn I would go 

deaf by the end! Oh and Tim told us while in his office not to be 

smiling loud. Hahahaha or in other words, don't be laughing and 

giggling. Which we would have been really out of place and awkward 

if we had. 
Most of us didn't want to go to Tai Chee or Kung Fu but we had 

already cancelled two nights in a row. So instead we bundled up and 

faced the cold. It turned out being really good and I'm glad we went. 

Casey is really excited about the Tai Chee. She is adorable. I kinda 

turned from Kung Fu to do more tai Chee with her. :) 
She taught me about rings on their fingers and that is really neat. 

If there is a ring on the pinky, they are single and want to stay 

that way or have to. If it is on the pointer finger, they are single 

but are looking or can find someone. The middle finger means you are 

in love or like a really good relationship. Then the ring finger is 

for being married. Casey is married but she wears her ring on the 

middle finger and says she likes to wear it there because it means 

they are 'hot lovers'! Haha well that is why she said but not sure 

that is what she meant. She also tried to explain that it is like 

they are always falling in love. Forever in love. Very cool.
