It's raining, It's pouring....Where are my Students?

July 12th, 2010,

Today began normally. At 6:30 AM we arose to the nostalgic wake up call, quickly showering and eating breakfast. Noticing the downpour outside, we quickly anticipated a dreary day. The rain had attempted to deter all of our plans. Upon arrival to Qiao Qi we frantically hurried into the school; in order to escape the rain. Unlike the first week, our class desperately lacked students. Despite our surprise, we naturally continued teaching. Also, Ms. Chu had already arranged for us to observe a sample of the Qiao Qi's agriculture industry. However, the rain had ruined this field trip. After teaching, Ms. Chu purposed a new idea. Ms. Chu asked us if we would like to see a "Flower and Bird" market. Unfortunately this new proposition struck most of us (the boys) as uninteresting. Also, many of us opposed paying the 50 RMB entrance fee. For the next 7 hours, we remained confined by the relentless rain; meeting once of course to have dinner.
