Yesterday morning I got a call from AB Tech saying that due to low enrollment they were canceling the Mandarin for beginners class. It really made me upset as I was hoping that the teacher would be able to help Matthew and I find a good place to teach in Kunming. That won't be happening now. I did get on Craigslist and find a teacher in the area who gives lessons in Mandarin and I contacted him. So it looks like Matthew and I will still be able to take lessons before we go. I was just looking forward to the class. I guess I miss being in school and I wanted to have something similar to school. I will be going to grad school so I shouldn't get to upset over not having a class this year.
Last night was a late night at work. I was supposed to be working at 6 this morning but I ended up trading with a girl whose babysitter was not working out. As a result I got to sleep in. I'm really happy about that. I do have to work 2 to close today so it could be a long day but at least I will be getting hours which I haven't been getting enough of recently. I'm looking for another job as it is. I would really like to work at a movie place or a book store. The two things that I really like movies and books. Yesterday I ordered a book from Amazon, which will start my immersion into everything Chinese. It is called Chinese Lessons: Five Classmates and the Story of a New China by John Pomfret. I think if nothing else it will be an introduction to Chinese culture. I'm looking forward to getting it.
Today it really feels like fall is starting. It is cool outside and the weather can't decide if it is going to be sunny or cloudy. I am really enjoying it.
