School began on March 1st. I have a long day on Monday, but I get Tuesdays off:). All in all, my schedule looks okay. I’m trying to prepare better and earlier for my classes this semester.
I think it will be better for my sanity and my students.
Last Wednesday, some PCVs in the Greater Chengdu area were invited to go to the Panda Base for a WWF special program. Andrew and I went, along with a member of the PC staff. We saw some panda cubs which were just too cute! I swear, I took over 100 pictures of the same stinkin’ bear! We also had a fabulous banquet style dinner.
My favorite had to be the mushroom fried pork. We then went to the WWF program. Earth Hour is
on March 27th, so we were taping for it. It really is a cool program. In 2007, Sydney came together and as a city, decided that for an hour, everybody would turn off their lights.
Earth Hour has continually grown since it was started. I challenge everybody to participate in Earth Hour 2010. Check out http://www.earthhour.org/ for more information.
After the speeches, we were each given a lantern to light. It was really cool. And because I’m a laowai, I was interviewed. I don’t do so well on the spot…Reporter: ”What are your wishes?” Me: “Best wishes for everybody!!” I have a feeling, I may make the nightly news in Chengdu on March 27th.
throughout my life, I’ve seen a family member (no names) speak before thinking. I would always shake my head, like omg, you can’t SAY that! Well, I am that person now….I’m going to have
to make a conscience effort to think before speaking.
I went to my homestay family to have lunch today. We had rabbit pot. Rabbit, yum yum!
