The China Chronicles

Who in the world let me pack my own suitcases?! I usually do a reasonably good job of packing. In fact, I usually do a pretty darn good job. But this time...oh boy. I somehow managed to escape with no long sleeved shirts, only 2 pairs of dress pants, three pairs of jeans (one of which I no longer need to unbutton to get off), no dress shoes, not that many pairs of socks, five shirts, and one sweatshirt. The good news is that I remembered underwear.

In other news, my electricity was off all day yesterday for the third time this week. This time it was because the waterfall festival is this weekend and they were checking all of the wires in the city, or something like that. It's usually off during daylight so it's not that big of a deal, but I didn't teach yesterday and it gets boring! They also didn't hook up my gas yesterday which means that I only have an electric burner, so I spent a lot of time being hungry, not that it's much of a change from my usual state. I read a lot and napped, which was probably good for me, but I was sure singing the hallelujahs when the lights came back on.
