September 1,
We went to the department store (Carrefour) today by ourselves on the bus both ways. We had more household items and food to get. Had chicken strips at KFC and they were good. Bot a Swiffer only to get home and find it was missing some pieces. It is a major job to take it back.
Our immediate teaching supervisors came to our apartment and we found out that classes at the PhD level do not start for another week (September 15). They presented us with student and teacher manuals for each of reading/writing and speaking/listening classes, both of which are to be covered. There is a lot to digest and hopefully use.
Patricia won the draw of campuses; she gets to stay here (the campus we live on) for all of her classes. The only downside for her is that her classes are all on the 6th floor and there is NOT an elevator.
Patricia will teach a 4 hour class on Monday, Wednesday & Friday from 8 - 12.
She will teach the same subject to each class and her students are environmental.
I get to teach at the other two schools/campuses.
Monday - a 4 hour class from 8 - 12 at Fushan Campus,
Tuesday - a 4 hour class from 8 - 12 at Laoshan Campus
Wednesday - a 2 hour class from 1:30 – 3:30 at Fushan Campus
Thursday – a 2 hour class from 1:30 – 3:30 at Laoshan Campus
One group are Chemistry and Environmental Engineering students and the other are Business Administration students.
I shared your blog with the HP Group today, so you may pick up some more followers here shortly. Keep the news coming. It's been fascinating so far to hear about your adventure. Please let me know how to pronounce the name of your city - Qingdao.
