Food Frenzied Friday #2

I've decided to try to make this a weekly thing. I know that its completely boring, but maybe it will help you understand how difficult of a time I'm having with NOT being able to have the foods I'm used to.
This week the cravings have been for: pot roast, honey BBQ popcorn chicken from KFC, chocolate pie, cantaloupe, pumpkin rolls, and .. fresh salad and hershey's ice cream (yes, again)

As for the rest of the day-
I've absolutely decided that I'm in love with one of the girls at our Winter Camp. Yesterday was her first day with us. Some of these kids came into the camp without English names, so we get to choose their names. I named this girl Emily. She is the most beautiful little girl, and so bright! She is learning so fast and she has only been there for two days!
I had my first evaluation today. Today was the day of my least planned lesson. So, that wasn't too great. Luckily Jillian (our head teacher) has sat in on my class for a few minutes throughout the week, so the evaluation was kinda for the whole week instead of just today. All in all, I feel like my lessons were a success. The kids learn so fast and try so hard. They're adorable and I'm in love with them already. The teaching isn't easy, thats for sure. But already worth it and I still have five more months of it.
We all got our Chinese names yesterday! We kinda got to pick them, but from a list that Tina gave us. The list had different things like seasons and emotions on it. I picked Xiu Qiu. Which means Beautiful Fall. Ty said that this is so that everyone here will know that I'm clumsy, but will do it gracefully. Not the case. The word "xiu" means beautiful when talking about a view. And "qiu" means fall, as in the season. Tina said that most of the Chinese names here describe the time of day or year that they were born. I wasn't born in the fall but each time that I'm away from home, I'm more and more convinced that Virginia is the most beautiful state to be in, especially during fall. I love it! And that is why I picked Xiu Qiu.
Also, I'd like for everyone to know that I miss my mother terribly. That is all.
Have a great weekend!
Wo ai ni! -I love you!
