This morning we decided to wake up early and try breakfast at the cafeteria. I am NOT a morning person so I was praying the food would be good. Holy crap it was sooo good!!! They had a bunch of different rolls and this watery/milky/soupy thing that you put sugar in. It sounds so strange but it was delicious! Pretty sure I ate about 10 sticky rolls because they are so addicting. I'm not quite sure what the milky stuff was, but I know if they have it again tomorrow to get more!
After breakfast we wanted to go try out our new gym memberships but apparently it didn't open until 9?! Strangest thing ever.. Instead we went on a walk around the sports center and little river they had. I find new surprises each and every single day that I'm here! The scenery is gorgeous and they have some pretty weird statues just chillin.
I was able to talk with my parents and Nick this morning which is always a highlight of my day. It throws me off being 14 hours ahead of Utah.. I'm going to be in trouble coming home!! I'm so grateful for the technology that we have so I am able to communicate with my friends and family back home or I'd go a little crazy. I finally was able to FaceTime my BFFFFFFF Kylie and that was so great!
We didn't teach until 2:30 this afternoon so I finished my lessons for the week, and took a nap. (Doesn't sound like me at all, huh?) teaching today went SO WELL!!! I'm teaching kitchen for the next two weeks so I just have to come up with a snack they can make in 25 minutes. I bought some Oreos then we put licorice on the inside of it coming out to look like legs, and marshmallows to look like eyes. Basically, I was wanting them to make a spider and they all were thrilled!!! "Teacha Annie good job!!! It's very yummy." I love when the kids are happy with how a lesson went. Every class was absolutely perfect for me! I haven't had that at all since I've been here and today was perfect. I was the happiest person ever when I waltzed into dinner tonight.
After dinner I finalized some lessons, and hung out with my girls!! It really was such a good day, I don't think any of you understand that. And the best way to end it... Watching Baby Mama:) my all time favorite movie.
I am so lucky I have this opportunity to be here this semester in China. At first I don't think I really understood what I was getting myself into. Each day I learn something new. Whether it's about one of my students, China, or my friends I'm teaching with!! We have so much fun. Some days I want to strangle the kids, and other days (such as today) I want to kidnap them and bring them back to Utah! (I'm sure Patti would love that! Haha just kidding mom). I miss everyone back home but wouldn't trade this experience for anything else.
loves.
