Another semester at the University is drawing to a close. I’m an English Teacher and   I’ve given the oral exams, along with a written test.  Student skill varies from high  enthusiasm to mild annoyance at being forced to come to the final exam.  Out of four classes I had several show up 25 minutes late for the exam, and four people showed up without pens. . .  Well, I guess that isn’t so bad out of a total of 140 students.

Soon it is off to the USA for a month in sunny Northern Michigan.  I’ve signed a new contract, so I will be teaching here in China for another year, God willing.
