First of all I am sorry for such a long silence!
Believe or not, it is due to an upload problem! I simply couldn't post anything > problem solved!

This week-end, I was part of the few students invited to attend the "school anniversary ceremony", in the great hall; an old theatre.
The main teachers choose the best students, about 7 students in every class. It was nice of my teacher giving me a chance to see it; although.. When you have been to one "official Chinese celebration ceremony", they all seem strangely familiar!
However this was a very big event. On the 28th of October, my school, Nanjing N3 middle school was 110 years old!
We all sat down in the hall, and were assigned seats numbers, to watch the teachers performances ~ really impressive! Teachers dancing, singing, acting!
There was a big screen in the bak ground on which a slide show of photos and videos kept on the whole time; to my surprise, my face suddenly appeared ! Once, twice, and then a video of me... !

My school life is progressively settling down just fine. I had a long talk with my main teacher, who kindly insisted on ways to "improve my comfort" (yeah yeah yeah... I definitely AM the luckiest student in the whole school!!)
She proposed to let me out of schools when I think the afternoon lessons are too heavy for me; she also offered me ... A bed! To rest, in the school clinic when I feel like taking a nap...

The lessons are getting more interesting. I now understand all the "link words", and basic vocabulary.
My headache has almost disappeared, thanks to traditional Chinese drinks; with flowers and plants!
And.. Miracle! I am getting more sleep!
It is getting clod in Nanjing nowadays; in the morning, I can't go out without a scarf, and after class, when we come out of school, it is very dark and cold.
One of my friends brings me a hot bottle of water to warm up my hands; every day!

It was also my sisters birthday on Saturday! I got her a hand made cartoon t-shirt of us both !
The picture you see is our uniform...
