First Day of Classes

My first class was Monday morning at 8:00 am. - History and culture of the British Isles to sophomore students! We live on the Gu Lou campus and teach on the Pu Kou campus, which means close to an hour on the bus to get to our classroom (after a mile walk to the bus stop). Monday morning I left at 6:30 a.m to catch the 7:00 a.m. bus and got to class just in time. Luckily I still have jet lag and wake up at 3:00 am every morning, so six doesn't seem too early.

There were 24 students in the class and they all spoke English quite well. They know a lot about British History. I didn't have enough material prepared.

The classes are two hours long and once a week.

My other classes will all be for first year students, but they are away at military training and won't be back until the 25th September.
