I'm going to write just a brief entry here because not too much happened Thursday and Friday. Thursday I just did some reading and prep work for me--American Lit. response papers on Whitman and Dickinson--and Kerry went to go meet with someone from his gaming group about a character. Then Kerry and I reviewed Chinese together in the evening. Friday was our "usual pattern" day: go to Chinese class, eat at Ciao Cafe, and I come home while Kerry goes gaming. In Chinese class, we are working on birthdays, days of the week, and times of the day (morning, afternoon, evening). It's all very complicated and a lot of information, so we typically feel very overwhelmed after class. But it was nothing that a spinach and bacon pizza couldn't cure: that's what I had at Ciao Coffee. Kerry had his usual Ciao pizza. We also tried their cheesecake, which was good. I then went home--it was pouring rain--and Kerry went gaming. Most of the evening, I was just grading response papers on The Great Gatsby. Most of them are writing about Nick Carraway's role as narrator or about how The Great Gatsby defines "The Roaring Twenties" in the US. Kerry came home about 11:30 pm--he walked from Jiangwan Town Station instead of taking the 745 bus, which we are liking less and less these days. Even today, when I took it, it was SO crowded! Lately it's super crowded and I don't understand why. I saw Grace on the bus coming home today, which was interesting, but we couldn't chat because the bus was as crowded as it was.
Saturday were are going to Jiashan Market with Peter again, and we will also likely go to a Drag Party at Lucca (gay bar in Shanghai) in the evening. Hope it's fun! I will write much more Sunday night or Monday.
