Bugs

This morning I opened my bedroom door to go to the bathroom when what greets me...

but this lovely creature!!! Its tentacles are HUGE!!!
I put the pen beside it so you could see just how big it is. I remember Rachel sending me a letter from Hong Kong with a drawing of a cockroach as big as her fist! I don't know if I'll be able to cope...

Today I'm giving my first years' their oral midterm. Two weeks ago it was my second years who had their midterm but I wasn't invited because I was teaching another class that afternoon.

To tell you the truth, I'm a bit stressed about this exam. I hope it'll be OK...

Last night we had a delicious dinner at a Muslim restaurant. It's a good thing we did some swimming beforehand because we ate a lot. Oh well.

Tomorrow we leave a Beijing train station at 7:15 AM for Chengde, in NorthEast China. We arrive at our destination around 11 AM. "We" = Guillaume, Loic, Gaetan, Katia and I. We're only staying one night. I need to prepare my classes for at least next Monday. Yikes.

Hope schoolwork isn't bogging you down. I know November's often a tough month. For those who are working, enjoy the end of autumn. And for those of you not doing anything, revel in the luxury of being able to relax!
