It has been a busy month since my last post, so to catch you up on what I have been up to. My laptop has crashed once again - actually the third time since I have been in China, but I am pretty sure that it has to do with this particular model of HP since my mom and brother have the same models, and the same problems too. Thankfully I am still covered under warranty and can get it fixed while I am stateside this summer. And I am also thankful for a friend who is loaning me his spare laptop to use in the meantime.
I have continued to stay busy with Chinese classes, mentoring, and teaching, and continue to love the opportunities that I get to spend with students. At the Little Ants Learning Club where I teach English on Saturdays, we had a presentation day last week for half of the kids, who have completed this semester of classes (they are now focusing their time on preparing for upcoming school exams). Four of the students are done until September, while I am still teaching five to six more students every week. The students who finished last week did a great job and were really excited to show their parents what they have learned. I hope to post a picture soon of me with the students - I am having problems uploading them tonight.
Last week my friends and I welcomed another group of friends from the company in the States, who will be here until June 10. They are another great group of students who have really taken initiative already. So far they have already been to an orphanage about an hour outside the city for three days this week to help with some Special Needs kids, and will be working with some other orphans here in the city in a few days. I have five of the girls staying with me at my apartment and I have really enjoyed getting to know them.
Also in five weeks I will be working at the Sunshine International Camp again and this year it is being held in Xi'an. And then hopefully the day after camp ends I am hoping to be headed stateside for a few weeks. I will keep you posted on those events in future posts.
Hope you are having a splendid summer!
