At the turn

At the turn from the winter break to the starting of school tomorrow, I am here to linger...just like a girl sitting on a river bank and dangling her feet in the lake, totally reluctant to leave the tranquility.Oh,well, I guess I will be ready tomorrow...

The winter break was wonderful for me. I managed to take two jobs- the first one as a T.A. for the Liyang Crazy English Camp (the one that Evan and Jason went to last summer.), and the second one as a private tutor for a cute,witty but also naughty Japanese girl. To be honest, the camp job was rather tiring but rewarding, because we were asked to do more teaching work than we were supposed to,WITHOUT increased paid,but the moment when I saw the students finally break their psychological barrier and speak out loud IN English, I felt my eyes wet. As for tutoring, I think I sometimes felt like inside me I was like a chimpanzee that jumped around the jungle,screaming fanatically and completely lost control of itself... I didn't know where I got the patience to sit still at that time. Yeah, you know what I mean if you've met preschool kids who hate maths and fancy nothing but games.(Frankly, I'm sniggering cos I had been one myself!) So I had to drain my brain to think about games through which she could learn. The sparkling moments came when she was interested and concentrated and that moment,she was unbelievably CUTE! Meanwhile, I could practice my Japanese and experienced some cool Japanese culture like making sushi.:-)

After the two jobs, I spent a few days relaxing, just chilling in the quietness at home and then came back to school in Guangzhou.

I'm still waiting for my friends to send me photos of the English camp.When I get them, I will post them together with the pictures of sushi making. Till then ,seeya and good night!:-D

P.S. Today is the Lantan Festival which also known as the Chinese Valantines' Day. It came on the fifteenth day after the Lunar New Year. So happy Chinese Valantines' Day to yall!
