I'm hoping we can go to Inner Mongolia for a camal ride and to sleep in tenty things this weekend. But it might be too late to organise..just have to keep my fingers and toes crossed when I ask the girls. Selina talked to Miss Chen today and no parents were unhappy with my classes but Miss Chen said that she thinks they are too disordered and disorganised. Her reasoning for this slightly irks me but I can't be overly worried. Her reasoning is because I play this game where I put the pictures of the words we are learning on the ground and then say "who can point to the..." and then pick a child to do that although in some classes children just run up without being asked. And this is why she says my classes are disorganised. HELLO, I can't speak Chinese and the children don't understand enough english for me to tell them not to do that so I need help from the teachers!! She says that I am "young" and I will learn over time. I have learnt - I know that I have done my best so too bad if I can't do it. Lynda said to her when she was there that the teachers need to help me more but this still hasn't happened so theres nothin more I can do. I don't really care (despite what this ranting may look like) but it does annoy me that people can't see when I'm putting my best foot forward. That's life though. I'm sick of being called young but thats China..a 20 year old should be studying hard at home getting everything done for her rather than being on the other side of the world doing this. Definetely learnt a lot about their culture in that respect.
3 weeks till I leave today...Can't wait to....shop and then come home.
