nothing to say

lzh tells me this guy's a famous university professor who writes somewhat similarly to Lu Xun, that his university doesn't like him because he's too honest (like Lu Xun). Well, unlike the maths teacher who's reference for lzh's boss' son I had to translate...

half-remembered slogans, again

I was in the classroom in Teaching Building 1 for my last class yesterday morning, and glanced at the signs on either side of the blackboard. For some reason that particular room has two of these slogans that the management of Building 1 love so much....

Where the bloody hell are you?

So I guess I could do a Micah Sittig and focus on public transport... but I really don't go out that much anymore. My life generally revolves around this apartment, the office and classrooms at BeiGongDa, and the local market. But just for this post......

Monash ad

Or at least that's how it felt today. I was all prepared, I knew what had to be done, I'd done the same lesson three times already last week (with the other classes, obviously. I do not inflict my students with the same inane bullshit four times over....

not the teacher's duty

And just because I can, I'm going to post another of those odd slogans on signs by the blackboard in many of my classrooms. 维持课堂纪律并不是老师的义务 Maintaining classroom discipline is absolutely not the teacher's duty? Uh, right....

notes from lunchbreak

Update: Thanks to a commenter, I remembered that I'd updated the version of this post on my main blog, but had completely neglected to update it here. A random oddity spotted in the classroom yesterday afternoon: A sign on the wall beside the blackboard...

scariness

The wife has decided I will sit the HSK really soon. She's absolutely right, of course, but I find the idea a little daunting and quite scary. Guess I should get my arse into gear and study, then....

kick starting

So I was reading �??活�??�??/To Live again this afternoon. Those who know the book will realise soon just how little progress I've been making despite all the promises I made to myself to get back into the study over the summer holiday. Anyway, I got to...

warning

lzh just passed on this warning message to me via MSN. I have no idea how truthful or accurate it may be, so take it with a grain of salt. My past experience of messages passed around China via instant message leaves me sceptical. Anyway, here goes: 急件!...

�?��?�?

�?� and �? are two words that intrigue me. It seems, from the movies I've wathed (活�??/To Live being a prime example) that up until very recently they were the usual words for dad and mum. Now �?� and �? seem to be most common. But I still occasionally...
