Sigh. . . . ESL problems. Spent twenty minutes tonight in a disagreement with a student over the date of the mid-term. I stupidly stated the exam would be “next week on Thursday.” – – – “But teacher, we don’t have class on Thursday next week. . . ” I’m sorry??? “We have class on Thursday this coming week. Then the next week no class on Thursday.” It’s the little things in ESL teaching – like trying to explain what precisely “this week” and “next week” mean. They always think “next week” means the “week after next.” Confusing? I know, me too π The life I live!

It has come to my attention that at the end of quarantine, I will have had rice-based meals for lunch & dinner for 29 days with one notable noodle exception. π π That means 57 meals with rice in a row - I may or may not turn into a rice ball myself by the end π π
Lunch in quarantine! Rice, green onion, chicken hearts, and diced zucchini and tofu noodles π
Chicken Hearts? π€ Haven't had this dish before π On my third week of mandatory quarantine in #China! I'll be free by April 1!
Let the world know I was here. . . . The skies were breathtaking yesterday.
Been a while since I needed these in hand!
