My students
In class one day a student was reading another English textbook, I am not sure why but it wasn't my required text so I took it away from her. After class, I would give the book back but she took too long to come outside so I gave the book to her Chinese English teacher and went home. Later, I went to her class and two of her classmates saw me, one looked at me very seriously and said "Rose, do you have a problem?" I said "excuse me" and she repeated herself. She saw that I wasn't smiling anymore and looked at me confused, so she said "on Dec 25th we will have something for Christmas, do you have a problem"; I said "oh, a program!" she burst out laughing and affirmed after apologizing 2000 times in between laughs. I thought she was asking me if I had a problem why I took away her friends book! So yes, I am still in honeymoon stage with teaching, China and my students :)
Animal Kingdom
I have a new rabbit; ok so if you remember I bought 2 rabbits one Sunday and they died on Tuesday of the same week! My friends and I decided that I was incapable of having a pet; I couldn't agree more. So my student asked me to take her rabbit and I told her I didn't think that it was a good idea and I would feel bad if they died; she said I really want you to have a pet and my parents dont like the rabbit; so I knew that if I took the rabbit she could come to my house and see it whenever she wanted to; so I agreed. On Sunday, she brought the rabbit and as she was taking it out, I was like "aww how cute, its so small" and I told her to go because she had class. When she left I looked at the rabbit and no it was not dead but it was a hamster! I do not like mice, rats, moles or anything gerbil/rodent like.
So the next morning I go to use the bathroom and I am half asleep; I see a line flash but I figured my eyes haven't adjusted. I go to check on the little evil and he is gone! I am freaking out now because that thing could be on my bed and that's just gross! 'So I look in the bathroom again and he is in there. By the way, I still don't know if its a girl or boy so we wil just say "it". Now the lid was on the cage thingy so it must have muscled up and got out.
My friend's dog died a month or two ago and she recently got another one; I tease her when I go to her house and say it is animal farm because she has a cat, dog, hamster and she's thinking about getting fish. Then when I go to her house to eat or watch movies; the cat and the dog just lie on me; and I don't like being touched by animals :(
I went to the supermarket and I saw this cute little girl. So I said to her in chinese, "hi small friend" and she screamed. So I said to her in Chinese "I'm sorry, I know I look very weird!" So she came to me and started growling and gritting her teeth. I was taken aback so I burst out laughing. Then I kneeled down in front of her and started growling back at her. She looked at me and started laughing; so I started laughing and then she growled again. We played this game back and forth until I decided to leave the little possessed baby girl.
Babies
My Chinese friend recently converted so Mary, Jennifer and I are doing Bible study with her on some Sundays. I gave her a chinese Bible and she decided that she would start reading Genesis. When she got to chapter 5, she came to my house and said; "I am reading Genesis and I learned about the Creation but then I got to the part where this one and this one had a baby and another one had another baby, and its just too many babies!"
