All five of my students got 100 on their Unit 6 quiz, and the big test was as follows: 97, 98, 98, 98, 100.

I have four hours of training today. Josh will be there.

I'm getting help on Econ from some grad students at IU. Thank goodness!

I'm reading a book called Opium Season about poppy eradication, and his group's efforts to get a "cash for work" program working in Helmand province. Right now in the book, 5 of his men just died and they are shutting down the project...

Josh and I are playing in our own world cup on Sunday.

Sunday, I am going to see a Chinese version of the musical "Hello, Dolly" or as my mom likes to call it, "Ni Hao, Dolly."

Monday we leave for Jinmen island!

So busy, so tired, need to eat, happy to be in Taiwan, still not ready to be at IU, learning Chinese, playing soccer, the weather is beautiful off and on, had tea with the parents of the girl I tutor yesterday. They loved Josh. He was charming and wonderful with Samantha, and when we left at the end of the afternoon, she cried. As a joke, her mom had said "do you want to go with Shannon?" and when we got up to leave, she said, in Taiwanese, "I thought I was going too!" I've only seen her cry once before. Then, when she knew I had to go to Chinese class, she decided that it was okay, but only if Josh stayed. We told her Josh had to go too, so she cried again! But calmed herself down and I think it was nap time.

Saving LOTS. In May, I was 300 US under my monthly budget. (that's on top of the savings I put away at the beginning of the month)
