It has been a busy few days, on Wednesday was the school’s spelling bee competition which I was one of the judges, it was a good competition but I felt so bad for the kids who obviously knew how to spell a word but were nervous as it was on the stage in front of the school and parents.
Then on Thursday I judged the speeches of grade 2 as 3 students will be reading their speeches in front of the school next week. I narrowed it down to 6 students and then we did a semi final on Friday. It was really hard to judge as they were all really good and I wanted to put them all through, but there could only be 3. The kid that came fourth even cried, I felt awful!
On Thursday I had to go to the bank for a statement for my visa and then Friday morning I went to get an extension for my visa at the visa office in the city as my visa expires on Tuesday. I should have my passport back in a week, just in time for my trip to Hong Kong for the Spring break.
The rest of Friday I spent marking, photocopying and general admin and at the end of the day we had an assembly where we gave awards to the students that had done well that week, a great end to the school day!
After school a group of us went to the swan for dinner and a few drinks, we were gossiping about anything and everything and before we knew it, it was 11pm! So much for my early night! I had a really nice evening though catching up with friends that I don’t see much of during the day. The only down side is that you can smoke anywhere in China so I came home with my clothes and hair stinking of cigarettes, I hate that!
