Wo xue Zhongwen.


So I've almost concluded my first week of classes here at Sichuan Daxue(Sichuan University) and I have been studying and learning a lot. My classes have kept me very busy.

On Monday : : : I have Chinese in the morning and then a Chinese Society class before lunch. Then after lunch, I have a Global Business class for three hours(I only have it once a week)

Tuesday : : : is Chinese again (Monday th
rough Friday) in the morning and then at night we have a lecture about Tibetan relations with a guest speaker for our Western China course.

Wednesday : : : Chinese and then culture. Classes are finished by lunch.

Thursday : : : I have Chinese in the morning, and then Chinese again later in the afternoon.

Friday : : : Just Chinese in the morning and then I'm done.

Even though I started at the beginning level, we are moving very quickly and I am having to study a lot. But that's what I primarily came here for so everything is working out. My reading and writing Chinese characters are behind my speaking and listening skills so I have had to concentrate most of my studying time on this.

A new thing for me has been cooking. Food is very inexpensive here. I bought a pan and some other cooking supplies so that I could start cooking. The other day, I bought some fresh onion, garlic, and eggplant from vendor not far from my dorm. 2 RMB! It was so cheap. I didn't even cook it all up. I also bought some fresh bananas for 3 RMB, but I didn't cook them. Overall my cooking experiences have gone really well. In my International Dorm, someone is always cooking something different. Whether it be Thai food, Korean food, or Nepalese food, it all smells delicious. I've had a lot of good times so far.
