Monday 18th June


I woke up this morning and my legs were still really sore! I got to school and the kids were SO excited about our field trip tomorrow to the Goose and Duck ranch. I spent the day finishing grading the standardised tests from last week and finishing anything that needed doing while I was away with grade 4. I started my departure form (I have to get signatures from each department before I leave to say I have returned all school equipment before I get my final pay check). I am going to be at the Goose and Duck Ranch Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and then on Friday it is the Dragon boat festival so there is no school. Then I only have Monday next week to get the checklist done as I want to be paid on Tuesday as its my last day on Wednesday and I want that day in case anything goes wrong, this is China, I kind of expect something to go wrong. Then I fly home next Thursday!

After school I went with Raena to drop her bike off at home and we got Mr Wang to pick us up, picked up Doreenda and Amanda on the way and went to get a burrito from the Avocado tree which we took to the park for a picnic. We just sat on Raenas picnic rug and sang along to her ipod and chatted and it was a really nice way to spend my last night with just the four of us (Raena leaves early this Friday so I won’t get to see her properly again, apart from calling round to her apartment Thursday night after I get back from the Goose and Duck ranch). We all felt really sad that this was possibly our “last supper” together as a foursome, I’ve grown really close to all three of them and I am going to miss them all so much when I leave.
