China Letters Response

     I loved my letters from China and appreciated that they took the time to read my papers and think about it. I was worried I wouldn't get any letters honestly. It surprised me how sassy my people were, it brightened my day. One person said "Thus, unlike you, you can spend ninety-nine percent of your time for theatre." I felt there was a silent diss towards me for "wasting time" but I can understand where they're coming from. It made me laugh really hard though.

     The way my respondents viewed me split down halfway. Some thought I wasted too much time, while others praised me for going after what I want to do and enjoy it. They were just glad that I wasn't like the teenagers on what they see on Vampire Diaries.
     One of mine mentioned how many students in China just focus on studying instead of thinking about their future. So once they finish taking their hard tests, they have no idea what to do next. I feel like it is the same thing for a lot of students here, except they don't even care about their school work most of the time. I'd like to see some programs grow in China to help students figure out their futures, such as TRiO Upward Bound.

I would definitely love to see some details in their daily life in their autobiographies. I truly do not think my life differs from theirs by much.

Help?!

I read the blog posts and I have been getting a good idea of what I am supposed to do.

I am so glad we have other options besides doing a boring research paper. Now I am having a tough time with annotating my bibliographic sources (that was a mouthful).  I am unable to come see you for help outside of class this week because Cabinet interviews or taking over my life.

I hope to have time to sit with you Ms. James or Ms. Stogsdill to discuss some of my sources.

I really wish I was available outside of class to come ask you this in person but I am not. :(
