Busyness!

So this week has been really busy, which is a good thing, I guess!  As you know if you read my last post, I had some friends over last weekend.  It was great to see them, but sad to say goodbye.

The week after they left was fairly normal: just getting into the groove of classes again with a new student added to the mix, plus a bunch of make-ups last week who had cancelled the week before.

On Friday we had the blessing of having 2 ladies join us at the bible study who are from a university in Alabama, studying pharmacy.  They had come 2 weeks prior, to.  They came to Macau for a month, and we were happy to see them!  But they invited me to go to China with them to walk around Zhuhai for a while.  It was a lot of fun--only one of them actually went to China, but she brought along another friend who teaches at an institute that's actually only 2 blocks away from where I work!  It's pretty cool.  But we had a good time walking around, finding a fresh market, and also seeing THE tourist spot (the fisher lady statue) and then walking through a park with an amusement park inside it.  That all went down yesterday.

Today, I got to see a baby :)  I got to hold him too!  I miss babies: it's been so long since I've been able to hold a baby, and I was so happy to have that experience, even if it was for less than 5 minutes.

I then went shopping and found Dr. Pepper: I hadn't had Dr. Pepper in a VERY long time!  I am so excited!

I got home and watched a little bit of TV and made myself another treat--a taco salad!  But then I got motivated to clean as soon as the clock struck 12.  I don't know what it is, but the only time I feel like cleaning is after midnight.  I cleaned the stove...at least 3/4 of it.  I left the burner that I don't use as often to clean later.  I can't believe that my stove is actually silver and not a dull yellowish brown color (the color of oil splatter...also the color of most chinese kitchens after a few years of intense cooking).  It looks great.  My fingers, on the other hand, are super dry and wrinkled from all of the CIF cleaner, and the sponge is demolished haha.

I think that's about it.  Enjoy the relatively short post: with relatively being the key word!
