Swam for a bit, got lunch and headed to class. Same story as the days before. Same 100+ Asians all from China, still crammed into a room too small for our class, same workload (2 reports, one of which is a group project). This teacher talked about things in very basic terms, which at one point made me feel like "This is grad school?!" We broke out into groups to discuss issues/trends affecting tourism and actions/solutions. Since half the people don't speak English, it was very difficult to even discuss anything with them without something totally inane coming out of their mouth... Maybe I'll be ahead of the curve with this, but then again, I don't want to think this is a cakewalk and be surprised.
Lina asked Michael to use his spare car this weekend, since we weren't going camping with them. Originally, he said yes, then he told us that his friends were gonna meet them, so they would be using it. This and a bunch of other stuff put Lina in a bad mood and so it was difficult to try to plan the weekend with her being so crabby. It's unfortunate that we aren't better friends because I don't know how to deal with that. Press a little, or give her space, etc.. We'll see. We're def. doing something fun for her birthday, and hopefully she'll be in a better mood tomorrow... Meanwhile, we researched new internet plans because we need more/faster internet.
