Candy - no, it's not a bribe! I just love to see their faces light up, and they just giggle when I give them a little treat; it's so fun. BTW, that's not $38! That's 38 yuan, which is much less.
Object Lesson for Relief Society - does anyone ever remember what the point of the object is? I doubt it, but I love the sisters in our Relief Society. Today, Polly brought us strawberries from Hong Kong. Last week, she gave us hand sanitizer...what a dear she is!
I got after Phillip for talking in class. So, to soften the blow, I took a picture of his colorful shirt.
You can always see the students reading their English books all over campus. This was taken from the 3rd floor looking out onto the lawn below. They are studious. Well, some are.
It's been a long time since I slept in a dorm room.....bottom bunk was mine...just prefect for someone who gets up to use the restroom! The church provides these rooms for people who visit the temple from far away!
I love the signs in China...someone tries very hard to translate them into English, and they are very entertaining! I couldn't begin to do this, so I'm not criticizing, just enjoying!
Lovely pajamas, not so lovely figure....but, what can I say? I'm grateful to be able to stand up and move about!
This is what our apartment building looks like when we arrive home each Tuesday night at 10:45 p.m. We have about a ten minute walk from the bus stop and it's always very dark. Seeing the lights of the welcoming front entrance is always a welcome sight after our six hour journey to the South campus.
Before class begins....in this class, there is a student from Russia, Yemen, Africa. All the other classes are all Chinese students. Our university is a magnet for students from all over the world.
It is truly the quietest library I have ever been in, and probably one of the most unused. A student asked me to recommend some English books for her to read, so when the library was closed on Saturday, I sneaked over afer church on Sunday.....It's a nice building, large, but not lots of students studying in the stacks.
I'm so excited about this new gadget....it's a laser pointer, which I didn't need - I have one.
These ladies were sitting around putting aloe vera on their legs to help with dry skin...there were several older ladies just sitting around rubbing aloe vera....it was delightful to see them sitting under the tree having a gab fest while smearing on the aloe vera.
I absolutely love this Thursday morning class; they all come with their English newspapers, sit down and read. Some of them bring their sticky buns to eat for breakfast before class starts.
My new method of scripture study - the IPad. I really like it, big screen and all. BUT, I have tons of notes written in my little scriptures, so I'm missing out on my thoughts from previous readings of the Book of Mormon. This is my second time through the book since May...Relief Society challenges in two different wards. But, that is a good thing.
Well, maybe volunteers isn't exactly the right word. Because all junior students were REQUIRED to be a part of the Asian games....some like it, some don't. But, whatever it is, they will miss FOUR WEEKS of university studies. Big chunk of time for college students....
You'd think Danny from New Joysee would know how to make good pizza; he doesn't.
