And its round to Sunday again...
I actually didn't end up working much at all this week. I was told that I would have Friday off because the kids were doing military training which I was ecstatic about, but then I ended up being extremely ill for all of Thursday, and then could only spend Friday resting. I did however for my first meal after the starvation go to a lovely Russian restaurant where the carnage that was my birthday occurred in October. Of course Russia= vodka. And copious amounts. That night I was topping peoples shot glasses up throughout the meal and I think we drank at least 8 bottles between about 16 of us. Anyway, one of the crowd thanked me for my plying her with alcohol- 4 of the group decided to couple off with each other on that evening! (All are still together). However, Friday involved no vodka for me, due to said illness.
I woke up on Saturday at E's house to the sound of a marching band. It was her schools 250th anniversary and they were having a celebration thing with old teachers and stuff. Its so China to have something like this at 730am on a Saturday morning. After much cups of tea and reading of recently acquired Cosmo, I managed to sneak out and home.
The rest of the day was spent preparing for the arrival of JimmyK! Since he can't stay at my school, I had to find an appropriate hotel. I've decided not to inform the school of his visit after the debaucle that was last time. Just think more lies, deception and dinner with the headmaster. No thankyou.
Mainly did lesson planning today and had a fun lesson with the 7 year olds. They are really sweet. Then I called one of my best friends from Uni (C the musical genius), who the other one- S was visiting for the weekend. And due to the musical fusion that has occurred, JimmyK was there too. I was so jealous the three of them there together without me. But it was so ace to chat to them all. I can't wait for me, C and S to be reunitated again, and hopefully it will be in July in CHINA!
Its all teaching, teaching, teaching until Friday when I am giving up all the extra work and concentrating on having fun and most importantly eating good food with JimmyK. Its gonna be like a holiday for me too!
