Yesterday some of Jenni's students came over and enjoyed a meal with us [sandwiches and chips]. One of the boys was very disappointed that there was no rice with the meal!!! Tonight we are having some of my students over for dinner. I think I am going to cook them some fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy. Chinese really don't like western food, but most of them can tolerate chicken [after all they do have KFC here]. After that I imagine we'll chat with the students a bit and then they'll go home. This will be the first time these students have come over to our house, so we are very excited about getting to know them better.

Oh, by the way, I found out that I made an 80 on my kou yu test. The teacher told me it would have been better but I didn't prepare for it, which was totally true! There were a lot of phrases that we had learned this semester that I was supposed to include in my dialogue with the teacher that I just didn't use. It's not that I don't know how to use those phrases, but I wasn't in class the day our teacher gave us the test requirements. But I was very pleased with an 80. Tomorrow is my Zong He class, there's no way I'll be making an 80 on it!

I know I will pass this semester, but I think I have decided to retake these classes anyway. I'm not interested in a diploma; I want to learn the language. And when you're out for two weeks, there's a lot you miss. So on a bright side, next semester should be a breeze. Oh, I almost forgot, I wanted to include a joke I read on my coffee mug today: 你知道怎样把一头大象放进冰箱吗？

Sorry, there was no punch line on the mug.....But I think I've heard this one in English before, and if it's the same one I’m thinking of then the answer is:
第一，打开冰箱
第二，把大象装进冰箱
第三，把冰箱门关上
