Language exchange was good. Athena came in with a small parcel today. I told her I wish I had a package. She told me our administrator had given her a slip and she went to collect her package at the post office. I went back to the office, and on my email there was a note from my administrator telling me to come get a parcel slip. I got excited pretty quickly, the day got sunnier, and there was more bounce in my step. haha. When I arrived at the post office, I expected to get a small parcel because it's mega expensive to ship here....but oh no. We go big or go home. When I saw how big it was, 7 sentences ran through my brain at once. They were all something like a 5 year old would say on their birthday and I wondered what marvelous things it might be. The pleasant surprises were Oatmeal To Go bars, PB, and Mike and Ikes. My cousins know me far too well. I carried the box back to the apartment in a dress, with the parcel on my shoulder. I got some weird looks, but I'm a white kid so that happens anyway. I think some people were just thinking 'American women are so strong!' That's right, suckers--Rosie the Riveter!
Other than eating too many Mike and Ikes and Oatmeal bars, the rest of the day consisted of lesson planning, Shakespeare practice, Cantonese class, and the grocery. I had a delicious PB and J sandwich and homemade egg salad-esque thing I made for dinner....and then more Mike and Ikes. Fantastic day :)
Thank you to my lovely gift givers--and here's a message (provided in thanks to my mini me and my fave mathematician) for all of you!
