I wrote this yesterday....but lovely China internet would not let me connect to my blog :S
I am so happy to say that it’s June tomorrow. I’m so happy that I’m going home in about 4 weeks. Yes, school is fun, but I think that everyone is just at that point in the year where they are kind of done with teaching and the enthusiasm has really dropped.
I officially won my hockey pool at work, with thanks to Mike Wilson J I won 600 RMB, picking 100% of the teams in all the playoff rounds….just one more to predict right. That is also making me so sad at the moment. This is the time of year that revolves around playoffs and swim club…and right now I can’t really be involved in either. It’s really hard to watch the games here because they play in the morning our time during the week, which means I’m working. It’s just not as exciting to see the score on highlights or on updates on the internet.
After this week there are only two teaching weeks left, and then it’s exam time. I am getting way too giddy to come home at this point though, I need to settle down and focus on what I have left here, but it’s so hard to do so. I keep seeing pictures of little Tia and of my little swim club kids and it makes me miss home so much!
This weekend it was one of the secretaries birthdays so we all had a surprise party for her. We all went to KTV and she had no idea that we were all there, so that was really fun. The night ended not so great, but I’m not going to get into that. We may need to find a new spot to hang out for the next few weekends :S but I guess that’s alright, there really aren’t that many weekends left. I have decided to go on a trip this weekend to Xiamen. It’s a tropical place and I’m just going to chill out at this resort and hang out by the pool and what not. It’ll be nice to have a little vacation before I head back to Canada to work…hehe. I know, everyone thinks I’m crazy, but I’m actually excited to get back to the pools. I never thought I would miss it this much. Hopefully the summer gets better at home though, I’ve heard that we’ve been having cool weather, as opposed to the average of 35-38 that I’ve been having here :S
On Saturday I tried to go see the new Pirates movies with a few people…we saw a movie…just wasn’t the right one, haha. We had pre-bought tickets (that’s what you do here, you pick your seats when you buy tickets, it’s actually kind of a nice system if you have the time to go before hand). Anyways, we pre bought tickets, said “Pirates” and when we get into the theatre there is a long preview for a movie….hmmm, no, wait, we’re not seeing Pirates, we’re seeing Kungfu Panda 2. It was too funny. Only in China would you end up in a different movie than you thought. It was kind of fitting to see Kungfu Panda though, as it is based in China and there were some Chinese jokes. Oh well J
Anyways, I will have to update after my tropical weekend away!
Miss ya’ll
