It's one more day till the new semester commences, and like the other foreign teachers here in my campus, I am deep in last minute preparations. After all, I would like to give a good first impression on my students.
My friend, Vincent Poisson telephoned at around 9:00 AM to ask if I would look after his son, Agustin Vincent Marlo. Well, he'll soon be my godson and I really like the little fellow so I agreed. Vinz and his girlfriend, Leah were out to look at an apartment closer to Gus' soon-to-be nanny and Leah's place of work ... according to Vinz, it's near the Changchun Zoo.
At around 10:30, I got Michael van Duijn, a co-teacher to go with me to Hua Qiao Foreign Language School, where Vinz will be teaching. It was not until an hour later that we got back to our campus.
Gus is a quiet little guy, and gave very little trouble so I was able to complete at least a week's lesson plan.
It's just Kasey and me at home, and Yoyo will be going to Jilin City for a week with Lao Yi. I'll be missing my baby a lot but at least her short absence will give me enough time to put my act together.
Vinz and Leah just informed me that they decided to take the apartment. so they'll be moving much of their stuff. He says it'll take the whole afternoon, and they probably won't get back until after 5:00 PM. That's OK. It's really been quiet around here and I could concentrate on the matters at hand.
