Jeopardized June

Last month of my contract. But I already know I can't finish everything before it ends. But since it is a project I have been taking care of for 20+ months from scratch to end, I will finish it at whatever the cost.

The latter half of June is jeopardized by more work:

Summer term started on Monday. Will need to pack 14 sessions in 10 weeks until mid-Aug. There were 51 students attended my first class, record-breaking! When I was explaining the weekly rundown and requirements on assignments, I told them I wanted to scare them away by magnifying the workload, but did not succeed... I told them I was not lying since some of their classmates took the course in 2010. They responded that it was their classmates telling them that this subject was so rewarding and it is a must-take! Now I know why my classroom is crowded with students. I laughed because my ego was taken to heaven for a few seconds, but it was a bitter laugh because it was such a big class that implies a lot of tutoring.

Will need to fly to Fuzhou, Fujian at late afternoon today. First time for me to go there. Will need to work there over the weekend until Monday night. I will bring with me some MBA assignments, hopefully I can read them on the plane or before going to bed, since I got no other time to read and grade them. Oh yes, won't have access to Blogger and Facebook la... but FaceTime and Skype are fine.

Next week, another 2 day trips to Shenzhen and Shunde. So not much time for me to finish my writing...
