Silly Boys

I've been hit on by three different guys today. It was kind of weird. I don't know why they are suddenly noticing me but I don't mind one bit. It's not that anything will happen of any of it but it's really nice to feel pretty and desireable. I pretty much aced my dictation today. I did fudge the character for night a little bit but the rest of it, I think I nailed spot on. Chiu Laoshi, my professor, said that I had very good pronunciation today and that I sounded like I was actually Chinese. I took that as a very high compliment. She is so sweet and bubbly. I adore her! I'm really excited because she is also the professor for 200-level Chinese. I also asked her today what my name means. Qiao means articulate and crafty. Xi means white but it also means clearheaded. I like it. She said that now that she has had me in class for a few weeks that she knows it is a very good name. I have a week and a half to do my Asia papers. I know that I can't procrastinate too much but it is nice to have that cushion.

So glad to hear your Chinese and the class are going so well for you!! And even better, you'll have the prof for 200 classes, you have a fitting name, and you're just loving the class!!!
