Blogger has been a bitch lately so I havn’t really been able to post much., so I’ll give y’all the run down of what is going on in this post. I’ve had lots of wierd run-ins with chinese beuracracy and leadership. Frist I emailed the head of my program in America and told him about the restrictions they put on me. So then he says that sucks and emails the chinese head of my progrma and the chinese head emails the head of my school, and the have an “honest” discussion and so then I get a call that I have another meeting! I go to this meeting and my leader at the school tells me that it was all just a problem in translation. he didn’t mean anything that he ssaid it is like when a Chinese parent tells there child to come home early, they don’t really mean that, they just want to be safe. I don’t really by this, but I figure that since he said not to take anyting he says at face value, now I can do what ever I want, so thats cool.
The other wierd thing that is going on is that this women at the international “cofe” (with an accent aigu), wants me to work there, so she is doing all this crazy shit behind the scenes, like talking to the heads of her work departmetna nad the leaders of the city, and she keeps telling me thatmy college is to strict, and I should break the rules, but I think that might just be cause she wants me to go to work for her. But the really wierd thing is that she said she was talking to the had of the communist party at my school and that he said that he didn’t want me to get to many friends, espiecially with the high ranking officials in town because “then I would know to much.” I don’t even know if that is true but if it is its really strange, cause who gives a fuck about what a scrubby apathetic slacker knows about whats going on in a shitty little town in Henan, totally strange if its true.
The other thing that is just pissing me off is that I gotta teach this computer aided design class thats over 100 students big just because it is a “national model class,” which means the communist gov’t thinks it will make them look good to have a bunch of CAD freaks running around. But they suck at speaking english and the class is to big to do anything but lecture in so all I can do is talk at them and have them not understand me, fucking retarded.
