7:40am - Make a cup of instant coffee, check my email, stuff my papers and activities for class in my backpack, eat a banana
7:52am - Walk to Building 59 for my 8am "Introduction to Western Culture" class
8-9:40am - First class of the day, lecture for the first 45 minutes on New Zealand and then play a board game about Australia and New Zealand for the second half of the class. Pick up out of control runaway dice no less than 15 times from overzealous dice rollers
9:50am - Get back to my apartment, chat online with friends, creep on the Face, read some blogs, check the news, answer some emails
10:45am - Steve comes over for help translating some university documents into English and to revise the contract for foreign teachers to add a "no dating your students" policy
11:15am - Ride my bike to the Foreign Language building. Visit the mini English library and check out the latest Time magazine. Chat with the other Chinese English teachers and the super nice librarian. They give me some fresh tomatoes. Head to the copy room to make some copies for class where the copy lady constantly corrects my Chinese and tells me to keep practicing my tones. Check the mail room - nothing today. Bike back home
11:40am - Wait for the other foreign teachers outside of building 59 so we can walk together to the teachers' cafeteria for our weekly lunch meeting

3:45pm - Walk from class to the bus stop and take the 23 for about 20 min into downtown to meet Xing xing for a cup of coffee at Starbucks. Yes, it's ridiculously overpriced. I only go there about once a month but it was awesome - the new Christmas flavors were out: dark cherry mocha and toffee nut latte. YUM
5:30pm - Walk over to Web my second job and look over the lesson plans for the night's classes.
6:00-9:00 pm - Teach three courses: a beginning private course, a business English class and an intermediate salon class.

11:00pm - Brush teeth, jump into bed and set the alarm for another busy day tomorrow
Love that you mentioned creeping on the Face!!!
