End of week! Kinda! Make up class tomorrow.

Touched a student today! She learned how to make a paper koala in class.

New Pope! Pope Leo XIV! USAmerican. Did Trump call it? Will this Pope be at odds with the Chinese cardinals?!

Workout in! 7.02km in 47.34, then down to the gym for 105 or 110 pull ups, 210 push ups, 315 squats all with 5kg weights. Took over an hour to do.

Throat is doing okay, but still some coughing.

Applied for a position in Canada, we’ll see how this goes. Do I even want to go?

A free medical check up means this morning was spent navigating a Chinese hospital in broken English and Chinese! I can't remember how complete checkups are done in Canada, all in one place or all over the place? This hospital was very organized and had very little useless chatter. // Itse Friday, probably your end of week but I work tomorrow. Not too much going on these days! // Have a great weekend! // stevensirski.com

A new month! Coming up to another spin around the sun! // Big news: Vaccinations are NOT required, but highly encouraged. More importantly, when is Universal Studios going to finally open its Beijing location? // Guessing my Chinese reading is at about a Grade 6 or 7 level since I'm able to read some types of comic books. Not that I read them that often. // Might have some busy weekends in Sept, when will I be able to record another PODCAST Episode? Some people are interested on being on. // Playing around with the website as I want to make it easier to navigate! // Hope Wednesday is good to you! // stevensirski.com
