Fridays are free of teaching but full of tasks like sending laundry off to be cleaned, grading papers, and planning lessons!!!

We have been busy little beavers in our hotel room.  Rod is grading his first Embedded Systems Technology exam and Jean is grading the 2nd English test.  We have been trying to map out what is coming in both courses, how to do the final exams, and how to better engage the students.  Lunch was cup-of-soups with boiled water and some ice tea plus soda crackers.  Dinner will probably involve walking to the campus to order "cold pot" which is stir fried veggies and tofu that we select with noodles and some rice. (see our May 7th photos of "cold pot") We also need to request materials to be printed for tomorrow's (Saturday's) special class day--since it will be a holiday here on Monday and Tuesday [Dragon Boat Festival].

Have a good Memorial Day Weekend to those of you readers in the US!  We will be on a special outing for a couple of days with Lilian and friends of hers to Hangzhou by bullet train!

P.S. Well, our "Cold Pot" shop was closed, so we got a piece of chicken, some bakery rolls, plus fruit and juice for our dinner from the bakery on campus.  The fresh watermelon-pineapple juice was the best part!  And we got to capture the sunset from our hotel window.  :)
