Finals–Finally!

July 15th, 2010 · 4 Comments · Uncategorized

Since our 20-week school semester doesn’t start until the end of Spring Festival, we’re just now getting around to final exams.  State-mandated procedures require all exams to be prepared in a uniform paper format and that every single answer be marked as right or wrong with a red pen.  It also requires each section to be signed, double checked, and counter-signed:

After 14,000+ correction marks and 1152 signatures, the students aren’t the only ones who are ready for the semester to close!

Many of our students will be returning to their hometowns for the summer, but some will stay for classes, internships, and summer camp.  Here’s a shot of our table at a farewell dinner:

    Dixie, the dinner was over at this point, so most of the good stuff was gone. Much of the food here is prepared with peppers which are left uneaten on the plate at the end. Starting on my left (after the bamboo rice bowl), some of the items I recall: steamed pumpkin, beef, chicken feet, small cabbage, lotus root, sweet/sour chicken, tofu, tossed bread. This was a really nice restaurant with fancy dishes (not our usual fare).
