This week was test week! Well I still have my Hanyu test tomorrow. But, I was so busy all week so I never had the opportunity to update my blog. I also had nothing too exciting to write about since I was studying all week long!!!!
On Wednesday for lunch we had Chinese Table. We went to a Korean restaurant on campus and ate with the laoshis ("teachers"). Any food that isn't from the cafeteria tastes delicious!
Heather and I have started studying at Starbucks now. We've realized that doing work in our room, especially studying for big tests, is not going to work.
I think my kouyu test went well. It was very nerve-racking though. She gives you a picture 5 minutes before it is your turn and you have to come up with a 10 sentences story. The test is just with the teacher. I had to make sentences with certain grammar points, say sentences from the text correctly and explain what 5 different characters meant... using chinese!
One of my words was park... to me a park is where kids go and play with their moms or friends. But... to the chinese it is where you go and play soccer. Of course... so I don't think I got that word right!
Oh and also... Heather and I went to the CIEE office on Monday to see if we could switch rooms and become roommates! They told us they would get back to us so we will see......
Now I need to get back to studying since my hanyu test is tomorrow!
