Complete chaos

As if things could get crazier.  Not much time to write right now, I've averaged about ten minutes of internet time every four or five days.  It will get better soon when I arrive at my school and begin to get settled.  I feel like I'm displaced this month, never spending more than a day in one place!  Here's a run down:

* Finished teaching with teenagers, resorted to teaching slang and idioms for lack of any better direction.  Also made them put on hilarious skits based on a city we assigned them, like Austin and San Diego.  My crowning moment was teaching them to say howdy.
* Not one but two "talent shows".  Some of the least organized most bizarre mob events ever.
*Late night kareoke sessions.
*Certification banquet, at which so many random Chinese people decided to come to that there were not enough places for the people actually being certified.
*Went to the great wall, climbed to the top in wicked heat, and took a slide down (much fun).  Also went to the summer place, and then bounced to the zoo with a friend of mine in our maybe two hours of free time.
*24 train ride, in six person hard sleeper cars.  Meaning we had beds smaller than twin beds that my feet already hung off of, and then had to stow all of our bags and things to so had about five cubic feet of space.  Little bit stressful for people who don't love tiny spaces.
*Arrived in Shenzhen and went to the hotel, only to find out that they did not have enough rooms for everyone so some of us got to wait another hour or two to take vans, 6 ppl at a time, to another hotel, so we could come back to this one again in the morning right before police interviews.

And that's about where I am now.  I'll post pics and things when I'm able.  It's just been a bundle o chaos and confusion so far but I think that will start to lessen ::hopefully::  At least I'm not sick anymore!  ::knock on wood::

Miss you all!
