everyday china..

today was our first saturday which was nice because we got to sleep in. so i got a good 11 and a half hours of sleep :)

but then i go out to the living room and people had brought up lunch and we open it up and hey.. its fish head again. aaaaaawesome. you know the song fish heads,
fish heads,
roley poley fish heads,
fish heads,
fish heads
eat them up yum..
in the morning
roley poley fish heads
in the evening
in
my
soup.

yea that's my new theme song to my life.

down here in southern china its not really cold like snowing or anything but its definitely cold. aaaand we dont seem to have working heaters in our apartment. at all. so every night we wake up a couple times just because we're so cold. but i found the solution to not getting cold at night. two pairs of socks, long pajamas with long sweats over them, a tank top, a long sleeve shirt, a short sleeve shirt, sweatshirt with hood on, columbia fleece and blankets over my head. haha.
and yesterday our other room mates went shopping for a heater. (we considered it but pretty soon its going to be really hot and muggy that its just not worth it) but this girl lorenda walks out into the living room where chantelle, callie and me were sitting and just says, "i reeeaaally like my space heater." we just said yea....
but seriously. how mean. thats like walking next to a starving person and eating a hamburger and saying out loud, "mmm this tastes sooo good."
being cold has just made us a little bitter.. but we're still nice people i swear.

today we're going to go explore more of guzhen. and clean our apartment. yay...?

then tomorrow we're really excited because we thought for church we were just going to have our own little lessons just in our apartment but actually there's an international branch like 3 hours away and the branch president has called us and really wants us to come out there at least once a month. we have to pay for transportation and they said if that's too much that they'll help us out. so our school and the xiaolan school (they're like half and hour away) are going to go in on a bus which for round trip it will be like 12 dollars U.S. to go. which really isnt that bad. church starts at 10 so we'll have to leave at like 6am so its a good thing we can sleep on the bus...

oh and i brought rechargable batteries and i tried charging them one night and the light turned on like they were charging but i came out in the morning and they were just sitting next to the power strip.. uncharged. so i tried plugging them in again and they wont charge. so for now i dont have the resources to take pictures but as soon as possible i'm going to take pictures of the apartment and the school and kids and put them up :) :)
