I finished up the second week of exams OMG it was grueling. Hearing the same speech about hobbies over and over again and hearing about the same hometowns starting getting painful. I stopped listening and was literally thinking about hmm… I wonder if this girl knows she has a lot of upper lip hair and geez this guy has a really big head. Sounds terrible, but after 300 and something speeches, what do you expect? The good news is just one more week of exams. The bad news is THERES STILL one more week of exams ughhh!

my lover giving me a lap dance

me and the birthday girl!

A student of mine today sent me a text that said: Christmas is coming; I want to give u a manual Christmas present. Sounds dirty or sketchy haha we shall see in time what the hell that means.

our friend will. he loves bananas

Also getting online banking in china is the most difficult process you could ever imagine. We needed to get a card so that we could book airline tickets for our vacations but it literally took about ten trips to the bank, hours of frustration trying to set it up, about five Chinese people on the case – even heated arguments with bank managers. All in all could be summed up as ridiculous and very time consuming.

should be a christmas card

So it was Lilly’s birthday yesterday and we threw her a small birthday bash with a few Chinese friends and students. Mat got Lilly a very nice birthday cake ( the cakes in china are really pretty and elaborate) but they also look better than they taste. We went out for some karaoke and dancing at the bars.

present giving time

jolly good fun

Mat got cake all over his face and it just so happened that the chocolate is right in the middle of his lip and it made him look like he had a Hitler mustache. We had a good laugh.

hitler school boy

yayy

Oh yea and the theme for Lilly’s birthday was school uniforms. Peter and I were the principles and everyone else was just students. I tried really hard to find suspenders but they don’t exist around here. I went to about 20 different stores.

Best part of the night was me being a dumbass. I actually walked into a glass door. Best part about it was a lady was opening it...I have no idea how I didn’t see the lady on the other side. It was like a cartoon; I feel straight back after bouncing off the door and the Chinese lady looked reallyyy confused. She probly thought who is this dumbass foreigner? Everyone was in tears laughing at me so at least I provided everyone with some entertainment.

surprise! cake

I’ve also starting teaching one night class on Wednesday nights for some extra mula. It will come in handy during my two month travels. There are only 8 people in the class so its pretty easy -- just sit there for an hour and a half and chat about whatever topic I choose.

For Christmas this week we are doing secret Santa. We are teaching Monday through Thursday morning. Thursday day we are going into the city to eat cheeseburgers and salad haha and to see a movie. I haven’t been able to go to a movie since I’ve been here because there are no theatres.
I hope everyone has a wonderful and very merry Christmas!! I miss all of you and I miss America very much, especially this time of year when I usually am baking chocolate chip cookies and eating them with a nice glass of cold milk. ( I have neither of these)
