I had two of my students MC the events. They did a great job without a prewritten script by a teacher. (Usually students MC just read out the prewritten scripts by a Chinese teacher for any big events in the school) However, they didn't translate enough in English and they had also make sexual jokes that weren't that appropriate. Those are the things that should be improved for next time.
It was a lot of fun but I was also tired and we had to work the next day for Sports Day.
I don't know how people have to work on weekends. I am sure spoiled. Even though it's a work day, we are just simply there to do some fun sports competition with the students.
In the morning team events, due to the poor planning of the Chinese PE teacher, some teams finished around 9:30 am and while the last team didn't finish till 11 am. So for teachers and students who finished early, we ended up playing some ultimate games, basketball, etc. It was a lot of fun despite how we weren't happy as how the day was run.
Then we had lunch outside of school at a restaurant that I have never been before.
They have the typical Sichuan/Chinese dishes like pepper shredded pork, kongpo chicken, fried eggplant, and fried tomato and eggs. But they also have skillet tofu, skillet beef, and the last surprise dish, a deep fried shredded potato that tastes like hash brown and was really yummy. I never like the usual fried shredded potato dish that my co-workers like. So I really enjoy the deep fried one.
After lunch, we went back to school and to finish supervising the afternoon school families events - relays and tug-of-war. The tug-of-war was really fun and we even did teachers v.s. the students. While the students were competing for the relays, one of my co-worker was doing some acrobat exercises with me and another co-worker. She was amzing that she did "flying" and "standing" moves with us. It was a bit scary (to balance on top of her thigh). I really had fun and I hoped to do more exercises with her next time.

We finished around 3 pm. I got home and did some laundry and found myself really exhausted and dozed off for a bit. Then had some food and I hit the gym with my co-workers for a yoga class. After yoga class, went home and watched a movie with my roommate and another co-worker at 8 pm. The movie we watched is called, "Across the Universe". The movie is good with all Beattles songs and the events that happened during that 60-70s time period. I find that it's hard to understand parts of the movie as I don't know much about that time period but I still enjoy the movie.
I am in bed now recapping what happened yesterday. It was just a super packed fun day.
My muscles are sore from either the running or from the yoga class.
I have to do some errands and do some work for school later.
So it will be a lazy Sunday!
