Its too darn hot...
Well it seems I've been getting quite political recently and haven't been writing much about my general humdrum life. Things have been pretty hectic here actually.
There's all the teaching of course. But now there are the preparations to leave China. Yes, only 2 and a half weeks of teaching left, and then my contract ends and I am out on my ear. Out of China that is.. unless I can change my visa, which a number of people are saying isnt possible, but of course a number of people are saying it is possible too. Well, Saturday is D-Day so fingers crossed.
The school are currently driving me crazy. No real change there. They insist on taking my documents (such as passport, residence permit) and then say I am causing them too much trouble if I ask for them back. They lie to me and say they have to take the documents to the Police Station when really I know she has them in her desk. Grrrr... Basically although they say I am an excellent teacher and they claim they want to help me, all they care about is that I am out of their hair and their lives on the 30th June- no longer their responsibility. Which is kind of sad.
The fact that it is 36 degrees is not helping... though I am not actually in too bad a mood considering. When you go outside it literally feels like your skin is burning. There is only 20% humidity, compared to 68% in London, so you feel thirsty all the time. The sunshine is nice though so I shouldn't complain.
I guess there isn't much to say really. I'm just looking forward to teaching ending, travelling with my two best friends and then the return to the wonderful England!
