Recently I have had some trouble sleeping at night. I think I slept no more than 20minutes this night.
This has been going on for a week, and the teachers started noticing how weak I look!
So today, when I arrived for my Friday Chinese lesson, my teacher prepared a bed for me in the library and made me sleep two hours...
She then told me "to me, you are just like a daughter, I want to take good care of you" ; she had bought me my favorite food, and then called my main teacher to discuss about a way of making me go home when I don't feel good enough to stay all afternoon.
It was really nice of her, but I insisted, said I was all right and could stay at school.
I will probably consult a doctor next week, this can not go on.

J+63
The maths exam this Wednesday was a disaster. Almost 3/4 of the students failed...
There will be some serious trouble at home!
The picture you see is our "autumn uniform"....----- kill me----....
I still have huge difficulties going out wearing this, it erases any kind of self esteem, and confidence you might get from your appearance.
In fact, it's just like carrying a tent around. It is so big, that it sometimes gets problematic to ride a bicycle with it!

School teachers
Here are some pictures of our school teachers.
As you may see, there are quite a lot!
I have circled some of my teachers, they aren't all there!
The row of standing teachers corresponds to the "more experienced and respected teachers", my Chinese literature teacher is part of them.

J+60 lazy day!
Today, I had my first...and probably last lazy day!
I couldn't sleep last night, because of the renovation just outside my window... The noise went on all night long...
Around 3am, I started getting really really hungry! So I made an attempt to sneak my way through to the kitchen, without waking up my aunt who sleeps on the couch (code name= the dragon)
> FAIL< ...
From her body language, I concluded she was absolutely furious ! Therefore, the reasonable option was to apologize and go back to bed... And listen to the "concerto" my stomach offered me for the next 3hours!
At 7am, I couldn't stand it anymore and dressed, took my key and went out. I had a very generous breakfast!
I studied my Chinese in the morning, and we had lunch at the restaurant.
My Chinese cousin then came home; hoping I could help him with his English homework ... > no no no ...
They have the most twisted and ambiguous questions I have ever seen (multiple choice questions; but with more than 4 possible correct answers, grammatically or sentences to complete in a very awkward English, "Ch-English"), and I was a little ashamed not to be able to answer them! Although it helped to know that an other native speaker (I will not name him...) was as useless as me!
We had dinner at the restaurant, my sister and I then went shopping together! This is extremely RARE! She had finished all her homework, and took her first break (of this term!)
She found some wonderful clothes (since it is soon her birthday, on the 27th, her parents left her cash to find outfits she likes)
