too busy. tooooooo busy
so.... YIKES. yikesyikesyikes. i wouldn't be writing now if i didn't feel like, uh, i just really wanted to:) tuesday is over. that means i have three days left till i leave shijiazhuang. i have one more day to check a class and a half's worth of papers. this quite honestly may or may not get done.
tomorrow morning, i'll hang out with class four for maybe an hour in the morning, then hide out in my room checking papers (i'll also wake up early to check papers) till 4:30. at 4:30, daniel and i told june and other administration we'd go to some international teachers' banquet. then i'll get back and probably be distracted by daniel. and check papers.
thursday, katie will call in the morning (i hope) to confirm europe plans. i'll meet up with class 3 for an hour or so later in the morning, have lunch with stone and daniel, meet up with class 6 for an hour or so at 2:30 (my last class :( ), make my last shijiazhuang shopping trip, and spend a last evening with just me and daniel. this is designated dead time, if you know what i mean. maybe we'll watch a movie or do kareoke or just hang out and talk. shopping, i might buy an ipod mini. it'd be soooo convenient for so many reasons. for one thing, i could store all my pictures from my time in china on there instead of burning them onto cds. if i do that, i'll want to put some music on there too, which would take time.
friday, in the morning, maybe breakfast with margaret since i won't see her again after friday. jane in class two invited daniel and i to her house just outside of shijiazhuang for a nice big chinese lunch after that:) she says she lives in the countryside and there are rivers and fields behind her house, so i'm excited. and her dad is cooking. from there, i'll go with daniel to the train station to see him off. he goes to beijing to meet his dad and a couple other family members. i'll stay at the train station and then, later, take a sleeper train to xi'an.
also in this time, i need to pack (i haven't started yet, and this will be time-consuming. crappy crappy crap). after packing, i need to go to the post office to mail everything but one small bag of essentials back home.
i didn't get much work done today cause i went shopping with daniel. i bought some gifts, which is good. daniel and i also got temp tattoos we haven't applied yet. fun:) and we went to a photo machine and got cool fun funny sticker pictures taken. i've been wanting to do that all year. i might go back and do it again before i leave. it's too good not to.
tai mafan.
i'm tired. but i'll try to do, what, three more students' papers before bed? that sounds fair enough. i need enough sleep that i wake up on time tomorrow.
so i should end this.
