So at the beginning of the semester I was asked to put together a formal debate for the Year 10 students. This would be their English language activity fort the school Open Day which is a Very Big Deal to the school. It took a lot of typical Chinese miscommunication and all, but we put together a list of ten students from the best class and ten students from the all the other classes together and have started organizing the teams and preparing the topic.
The students have had two meetings and it seems pretty certain that they are going to choose gay marriage as their topic. Yep. Gay marriage. That should be interesting. I’m excited.
I am however freaking out a little to see that in the freshly-printed guidebook to the Open Day (Dec 8!) my name is listed as “Lecturer” for the Year 10 activity. Yikes.
In other news, this weekend, I finally got my glasses from UPS and not-from-UPS I got a very painful ear infection. Then I got lots of free medicine (ibuprofen, antibiotics, and ear drops) to take care of it. I’m feeling better and looking nerdier.
