First day of school was today. Took me an hour to get there in the morning- was way too early- got there by 7:30 already... Class is suppose to start at 8:00AM. My classroom was empty and dark at that time. Went upstairs to ask what's the deal- the nice lady looks at my class note- takes me to this time table on the wall- obviously written in Chinese- tells me: "you see here?" I nod and say... hmmm... I see- but I can't read this.... So she says: "you see, here it says- that your class starts at 9:50 every Monday... YAY! Great!!! Nice of them to give my class a longer weekend- but why didn't anyone tell me??? Plus I found out that there was school yesterday on Sunday- a one time thing- coz of the week holiday they had before... Crap... Well nevermind. I wondered around, had an errand to do- did it and met this Spanish girl that I have already met last time I was there (she just joined too- and we convinced the lady in charge to put her in my class...) anyway - she's really nice, plus whet's funny is that my Chinese name is Ya Li and her Chinese name is Li Ya... ha ha ha... All the Chinese ppl had a good laugh about that... So class started at 9:50 - more than 2 hours after I got to uni, and the first teacher is called Prof. Qian (it sounds like: chien- in English) - he's a real nutty professor... He's funny, nice and expects a lot (but not too much- they really don't treat us in a tough manner- I guess they realized we're not Chinese students after all) and his class was actually fun. The next teacher was miss Wang- she's our main teacher- or you can call it home room teacher. She's a lot more "teachery" and uses a lot more English in her lessons. She's very nice too.
So after all the first day was a good day, now I have some things to review (can't believe that I have "homework" to do... ha ha ha - who would have thought about ME doing homewark and reviewing at home...)...
Till next time!!!
