So because of the changing seasons, our classes, and others, have been getting semi-high temperatures and colds, however the school has been taking extreme measurments. Anyone with a temperature of 37 degrees Celsius has to go to the clinic and stay in a hotel for 7 days quarantine, just like at the beginning. The German/Kazikstan class–the other language class besides ours–had about half of its students get sick and they went to a hotel.
Afterwards some students in our class got sick, and then they cancelled school for a week. On Saturday, we were supposed to go out and go to an International Festival. At the festival they told us there would be International students from other schools dancing, singing and games. However, because my roommate got sick, they felt my body was not well and held me back while whoever was “healthy” enough went!
My roommate had the flu and went to stay with our guardian, however they assumed I caught something, too. I stayed and did homework until everyone came back. I was so mad because now, a few days later, I am perfectly healthy!!
The other day my host mother called me and asked me what day would be better for me to go out to dinner with them, because the father had come back. I responded with which day would be better for them. They said wait, they will ask their father, and then hung up. A few minutes later the dorm mother comes knocking on my door telling me to change clothes and hurry up!!! My host sister is waiting at the gate for me and we go back to their house. I was so surprised because I had no warning on that!!!
My host sister was getting a new laptop and we waited at the house for it to come and then went out to dinner. The dad is nice and he talked to me a lot, but he smokes and there was a can of beer I saw on a desk, but all Chinese dads drink and smoke. We went out for Peking duck and a bunch of other dishes. The food was great. There was duck, a carp that was weird looking, but good, mushroom soup, vegetables, salads, tofu and other stuff I don’t know the name of. Most of it was really good. There was a turtle soup on the menu, but, thankfully, we didn’t order that.
My host sister had the brains from inside the duck. I said no because she was eating it straight out of the head. I also had deer meat. Sadly it was good. After dinner they drove me back to the dorms. The dad is leaving on this coming Wednesday, so I hope to see him again. He doesn’t stay very long. He told me he is the manager of a Chemical plant, or something, in Nanjing.
This whole week we have to stay in our dorm rooms during school hours, except during lunch. We are supposed to get up at the time school would start and we have to be studying the whole time!! Today the teacher checked up on us way too often. I do not have a roommate, so it is weird being alone in the room for so long. It is even worse because I am not allowed to go and study in another room. The teachers also gave us homework from each class. There is a lot and we are having midterms the day we go back to school.
I don’t like this week, but I got a care-package from home so I am happy.
