Could My China Life Get Any Stranger??

So I just finished having a meeting with one of the secretaries of Wulingyuan. I had previously agreed to teach one English class a week to the government leaders of Wulingyuan, since every fifty year old countryside man really needs to use English in his everyday life. So I asked the secretary exactly how many students would be in this class tomorrow evening. She hesistated for a good while and then finally told me that the sign up list was around 120 people. Not just 120 people but 120 commi government leaders who would be attending my class tomorrow evening. Then she proceeded to inform me that there would also be a news crew present that would tape the whole thing and show it on the local TV channel.

So I will either lesson plan tonight, stare at the wall, watch countless episodes of Scrubs, eat peanuts or all of the above and just hope that i can make it through to see my 23rd birthday (which is this Saturday.)
