the last two days, we have sure caught up on our sleep and being lazy. we've gone to the supermarket to get junk food for study food, and watched 8 episodes of glee. our faculty member left back to the US, and we are on our own. and this is how we have spent our time.

| 8 episodes finished |
i have done some homework, but i could always to more. to be completely honest this was a much needed break. besides our veg sessions, we have had a lecture on TCM and english salon. TCM or traditional chinese medicine is super complex, but super interesting. today we will be going to TCM clinical, which i am looking forward to.
english salon is a place where some nurses from the hospital gather together to practice and improve their english. we watched a short clip from the movie "valentines day" to get the vocabulary. it's more challenging to explain the connotation of words than you may think. especially slang words like, "crap", "fluff", "moron", "immigrant mentality", etc. These words also opened up my eyes to the kind of attitude reflected in our speech as americans. generally speaking, we speak in slang words with negative connotations, putting others down by a simple expression of words. definitely challenged me to think about my speech as a reflection of my attitude.
