Today we had a good day today, we had our reflection and everyone had a good week this week. This was our first week of classes and we were quite productive. Learning new words and sentence structures were very helpful. Tomorrow we are going to meet our host families for the first time and I think that everyone is a little nervous.
We also had our ESL classes today and it seems that everyday the students are more and more interested in what we are saying. Some of them are nervous to speak English and we have to tell them to be confident in what they are saying, the same with us speaking Chinese. The sentences that our teachers have been giving us in class for dialogue has been helpful, that is usually how I break the ice so to speak with the Chinese students that I am teaching. The group is still having its problems but I think that since Chen Loashi is gone we have to step up and solve problems on our own and that has made us closer as a group. I must say that I have really enjoyed this week and looking forward to what the other weeks have to offer. We are meeting new friends here and they are all nice. The Chinese are very polite people except when they drive. They drive really crazy. Walking everywhere I must say is slimming me down. I can't wait to get home and tell all the stories that I have experienced here.

Hi Krystal, its your boy Korey from back in the day (2001,2002). It was really good news to see that you were doing this. Its a real speacial opportunity. Its good to know that you are enjoying yourself as well. It's not suprising at all that you're over there "breaking the ice", those Chinese folks are in for an adventure messing with you. I hope everything continues to go well. Congrats on both this trip and graduation, I'm right behind you.

Krystal,
I got back from New York and I talked with your mother. She and I are getting to be very good friends. She gave me your email and you will be hearing from me privately very soon. We are very proud of you at the College of Business. Yes I know you need money! Put some more pictures on the JSU blog website so that we can download them and put them in one of our College of Business publications.
Always, your lawyer, professor and friend Jane Shaw-Jackson
