A Plane Story

Published by Sula H.

A bike ride to the airport is always a fun trip. Today, however, it was especially worthwhile going there for at least two reasons: Not only did the students love getting so close to the planes, but because of the holiday, incoming planes were especially frequent. Sooo, I couldn’t have chosen a better day to invite students and friends to join me on a field trip. And though we had to deal with a couple of adversities on our way, I assure you, they were having just as much fun as I. And that’s the plane truth.

Swallows by Day …

… bats by night … I should be remarking on the fact that today – a Saturday – everyone acts as if it’s Monday (since Monday’s classes got switched to today so we can have Monday off (makes sense, right!?) due to the peculiarity of Holiday management in China). But I’m not going to discuss holidays again today. I’m going to muse on something much more profound. Something that crossed my mind earlier as I was crossing the square on my way to lunch and my path was crossed by a swallow flying about her daily business, which is: making sure that the buildings around the square are not only inhabited by the students who have their dorms there, but also by them, the swallows, which fly in and out between the pillars and have their nests somewhere in the corners of the ceilings of the arcades. And then I was musing on how interesting it is that by day it’s the swallows that fly back and forth right above our heads, and by night …

Sweet Dreams

I like sleeping in. There’s something comforting to being able to turn around in bed once more, snuggle in your blankets and continue to snooze around for just a couple more minutes. Or a half hour. Or an hour. Or more. The problem for me: sleeping in isn’t an option, lately. Every Saturday morning I have to chat at 8 am for the course I’m taking, and by Sunday (the only day I actually get to sleep in), my internal biological clock is fine tuned so well, that I’ll be up well before the “wake-up-hour” I’ve determined to be a sensible time. Oh, how I wish for that extra half hour, or hour or so.
