I will be speaking about my time in China to the students of Professor Paul Resnick on November 8. I will have to check the actual class and times. I am looking forward to sharing my experience with the students. I was thinking it may be interesting while I am talking to try and do a QQ video chat so some of my students could see what an American class room looks like and the American students could probably see what a Chinese dorm room looks like. Of course I don't know how to use QQ well enough to do that and I can not read the Chinese well enough to figure it out.
I am looking forward to talking about my time in China. I am a product of the community college experience and I have been very fortunate to be able to maximize my opportunities while I have been at ICC. I am going to miss being at an education facility when I retire. What I like about my job is that I am at a college and I get to teach, be around the faculty, and the students. A community college has so much to offer a person and it is affordable. I have students in my welding class that use the classroom as an art studio. You sign up for class and for 16 weeks you have a very good space to work, good equipment to work with, and a fantastic instructor. The place is well ventilated and is heated during the winter.
Today the Chinese Club went to Chicago to China Town. I would have liked to go but I do need to get something done for the Guatemala coffee project. I am sure Ava will tell me about the trip. I do need to get some supplies for hot pot and make Jiao Zi before too much longer. It has been a busy day time to relax and hope the Cardinals win. Friends of mine, that I met in Xian, are going to be teaching in Riga, Latvia in a few weeks. I need to find out more about that. Matt Fuller was in China and I think he has a copy of the China Daily that has the printed copy of the article that Rob Rogers wrote about his time in Xian. I have found travel to be so interesting.
