So this is my second weekend here and my first full one. I have gotten so down over the course of the
first week that Joe thankfully came up to keep me company over the weekend. That definitely cheered
me up (but I'm still a little low). I'll be fine, but I must admit I am not a fan of the structure
of this program. It's not set up for my brain to grab on easily (or even with effort). I have heard
several others in the program say things to this end, as well, so it's not just me. Also, there are
several people in the program who have had Chinese before and they skew the way things go in
Chinese-only class. I am glad they already know everything we're doing, and as someone else pointed
out it gives us a carrot to chase, but if I am completely lost because they're racing ahead and the
teacher follows them then it doesn't help me if I can never catch on.
Anyway, next weekend my friend Katie will be here on her way back to Louisville from a New England
road trip. I think that should be nice, I hope she enjoys her trip. Well, I need to get back to homework
because I have so much of it (as usual). I'll be back with more when I can. To all, take care!
