So yeah, this has been very much a MEH week. My bike got stolen. Which means I can now NEVER make the 12:45 train back to campus. Seeing Student Thinking project done. C&I class has grown increasingly frustrating with its inability to show the other side. Every single reading, though written by different authors, says pretty much the same thing: "textbooks are bad! you must teach students to question!" It's like, okay, I get your point. But how about showing us the other side a little bit, eh? What happened to "teaching by questioning?"

Thursday night (after turning in my Seeing Student Thinking), I went to a STEP karaoke gathering at a karaoke bar. We've got some great singers in STEP, and I realized three things. 1) Thank heavens for Joanne + Kim giving me some limited exposure to booze. 2) The people here are so NORMAL. Like, they socialize normally and I... don't really know/remember how to do that. 3) I'm a poor conversationalist. Especially having drunk something. Either that or I can't elicit any interesting convo.

2 lesson plans this weekend. One about the push/pull factors of Jewish immigration, one about the Self Strengthening movement. Oh, also gotta read a book. Guess am not going anywhere.

::hug:: Poor Sushu! I think you're better at socializing than you think you are, though since normal socializing isn't my strongest point, my opinion may not be the best. I'm sorry your classes are being frustrating. Can you do more questioning yourself? 加油！

gasp! karaoke and booze are some of my favorite things! did you school them with a patriotic rendition of 东方红，南泥湾，or 青藏高原？ let's 敖包相会 some time. ^_____^
