Week 2 begins!

This is going to be a relatively short blog post in comparison to the previous two, so I thought I would basically share the ups and downs of the last few days.

First up, passed my semester one in Spain! Averaged at 68.5% so unless my final module beats that (unlikely) then that's going to be my mark, hooray!

Next up, had the most productive day yesterday. Started well with the sun shining (even through the pollution) and then continued to improve when we were told our schedule had changed from 8am to 12pm starts on Mondays and Tuesdays. We has 4 hours of class, followed by 2 hours of studying on the lawn, two trips to the post office in which I sent forms to Birmingham and a cheeky card to Mumma and then finally a job offer whilst walking down the street. We then went to Hooters, which was ironic for China but good fun. All in a day!

Today was great too, had a lie in and then 4 hours of class. Went to check out the teaching job, which doesn't seem exactly what we wanted but still such a compliment how keen they were to have us on board! Going back to see more tomorrow, and to help them advertising the school at a local primary school.

Also met a really cute dog, which I wasn't even scared to touch because of the fear of rabies. It was a really well cared for house dog, a golden retriever and we had to speak to her in Chinese, always fun. I also love the amount of cats there are here, we don't touch them for obvious reasons but they are quite friendly and very very cute. They are literally everywhere, and I will openly admit I'm such a pet freak.

Other than my horrific hangover on Sunday (made better by finding proper Tomato Soup in TESCO), the only genuine disadvantage from the last few days is that I gashed my finger with a knife in the excitement of having a fresh baguette earlier today and trying to cut it. So now I have a poorly index finger, and it is so inconveniently on my left hand which is stopping me from doing normal things at the moment. I hope it is better by the morning, or writing characters is going to be a mission!

Oh well, cheeky update for the last 3 days. We just do so much here, this blog is going to be so loooong by July!

Lotsa love x
