You know the days where you just don't want to get out of bed, this literally was my Monday. Oddly though the God's have smiled upon me, as today was quite full of the bounties of Karma. What holy events helped construct my day?
It began this morning, as I was walking to school with my host Mamma! As we were chatting she pulled out a little pink purse and said I could use it for my coins! How cute is that!??!! Then when I was waiting for class to start Gu Laoshi walked in and alerted me that she had an extra cell phone which she had brought with her to give to me, with a sim card and minutes already installed. Free of Charge, Helllllllll Yesss! After that I ran into my language partner who had some 中国衣服 (Chinese style clothes) for me! Heck Yes I love their fashion!!! On the way home from a long day of boring classes and wonderful luck my host Mama took me to the market outside our apt where I found amazingly cheap food! (Also some weird sites but at this point my day was so awesome I really didn't mind all the raw meat and live animals)
As you may not already know Monday was the start of my language pledge, a contract that I have signed stating that I will not speak English for pretty much forever!... (I should have read the fine print). While this was not the source of my 不好的天 (My Chinglish for Bad Day) it didnt help that I wasnt even able to express my discontent, at least in a way that made sense grammatically. Ah well what is done is most certainly done!
I must admit to you friends that while China is stiumlating, I am suffering from moderate to severe emotional longing. I suppose its a combination of not being able to speak English nor being able to be in the presence of you fine people!
While at times I must say I feel quiet lost without you, everyday is most certainly amazing and I can't say that I would wish it any different!
Did I mention tomorrow is my Host Mamma's birthday! We are going out for Hot Pot (which isn't what you might think) but still it should be pretty fun and will defiantly help get me over the hump of the week!
Theres a lots more to come, but not enough time for now...
XOXO
There is time for this however...You know you are in China when you are walking down the street and three young boys, all lined in a row have thier pants down and are peeing in the street! Aw, not even street pee could dampen my spirits today!!!
