A whole slew of new teachers arrived today and an old one too. Mel's back for a goodbye tour of Beijing - she's been travelling around Asia since she finished teaching and felt that she had to say goodbye to all of her friends here one more time (real reason: she left most of her possessions here. It is good to know that she cares enough to
lie.) She ended up hanging around my apartment and we caught up on the happenings and managed to watch 6 episodes of 24. Yes, I am aware how sad that sounds, but I'm still a little jet-lagged and Mel was really tired and out of it.

I also replaced my crappy, plastic, dribbler showerhead with a nice and powerful brushed stainless steel model. I also replaced the flexible hose that connects the pipe to the showerhead - I now have a hose long enough that I could easily shower in the middle of my living room. Not that I would, of course, but it is nice to have that option.

I've been hearing rumors that my classes might not start until Sept. 13, but they are just rumors . I wouldn't be terribly surprised to find out that my classes start Tuesday. I'll keep y'all posted.
