From Shekerra - June 15

My weekend was lovely!
I left on Friday so I could spend a little more time with my Chinese family. My host mother, sister, and I went grocery shopping at the RT Mart. We bought a lot of things..mainly snack and American junk food for my friends and me :-). I got peanut butter, bread, Doritos, Cheetos, Chinese candy, M&M, Lays, Oreos, Chinese fruit juices, double mint gum, and big bottles of water.
I was really grateful for all the things they do for me. Then we ate at KFC..which is pronounced "ken de ji". We went home and just relaxed. I always get a chance to talk to my host family when I go to my family's home. I really enjoyed spending time with them. I stayed up until about 1a.m. talking. On Saturday, I slept really late and I enjoyed it too. My host mom had to work all day so my little sister Nancy and I stayed at home. During lunchtime,we picked my mother up at Zibo Vocational College and then went to a restaurant down the street that all of the JSU students like to hang out during the week. They liked it! I ordered the usual...sweet and sour chicken and homemade french fries. They ordered some type of soup with cabbage and seafood, rice, tofu soup,and sweet potatoes. The sweet & sour potatoes look like fries but they are not. I enjoyed watching them eat at a restaurant that I picked out. We dropped Mama off at school and headed home. I was on my computer emailing and talking for awhile. Then I did my homework. Today is Father's Day and I woke up early. My family was rushing me so they could go to my mother's father's house. I got back to school early and shortly after I got back Terrance came back too.
We were happy to see each other and then Terrance, Auny, and I went shopping with our Chinese friends Abby and Felix. We shopped all day and brought back a lot of nice gifts for friends and family. I thoroughly had a nice time this weekend!
Happy Father's Day Daddy and to all of the rest of the fathers
