Sleepy

Well I got to Lin'an city yesterday and I already made a new friend. His name is Piffle. Technically its Morten but that just sounds weird. So I am poppet and he is piffle. We are the Oral English teachers here at ZFU. Well I didn't have to wait two months to learn how to order food. I am picking up mandarin pretty quickly. I am excited to start teaching but at the same time I am really really scared. I don't want to do something wrong and get fired. I am sure I will be fine. After all I know what not to do so thats a start. I don't want to offend anyone. Piffle told me yesterday that he accidentally compared "isolationism" and the great wall at his other job and one of his students threw a book at him and called him a terrorist. I will just have to be really really careful not to do something wrong. I will also have to research what is wrong because I don't know yet. Well I love you guys have fun wherever you are. Love you blake.

zWelcome to China!
In fact a lots of students are friendly to their teachers.
So please do not be so worried.

Thank you to whomever left this comment. It was very helpful. I am very young to be teaching here but I hope I do a good job and make my country proud to be represented here in China.
