Thursday is my worst day for classes mainly because they don't care! It's a hard line between understanding they work stupidly long hours at uni and I am just an added extra hour to their day, to some of the students actually want to learn and and it's not fair that their lessons are interrupted by people that can't be arsed. So I basicly got angry I shouted at them! And confiscated two phones! Do not sit in my lesson and watch a film! I think next week I may just say if you don't want to learn go to the back. With other classes though the ones who struggle the most and I pick to answer more seem to like me more for it! I'm here to help make them better and I actually want to. It's so confusing! Iv also decided to say yes to the lunch invites and improve my Chinese! It's needed and though I can understand enough to get by I want to get a lot better so why not! I have quite a few students that are actually hilarious and good at English so can only be fun!
So lessons done for the day, fashion parade with Lorraine done, showered and packed I jump on the bus with new directions to Jacks house! Just as I'm about to get on my connecting bus, which I found btw (Zach Nelson if you read this thanks it's a lot quicker) Jack text me to say I'm going to have to work now until 9 at night sorry!! I am like what!!!!! Retreat off the bus as I'm stood there a white blonde version of a person starts waving at me from a bus! It's Lorraine? Well Lorraine was in her apartment the last I had seen so some how this cracked me up as the chances of something like that happening is never. It's like my Aunty said to me last night, my friends grandson is out there for his second year you should look out for him, he's lovely lad and mixed race. I said "is he in Chansha then" she said "no but it can't be that hard to find him can it" I then proceeded to explain how there are 1.6 billion people in China, 8million in Changsha and only a few 100 westerners in Changsha. She said exactly only a few 100 he should be easy to spot! Seriously had me and my mom giggling! I left it at that. I think she has the impression we all walk round in masses lol!
Anyway Jack was joking wasn't he, the bellend. So I got on the next bus and following Jacks directions got lost getting off the bus at the wrong stop. We then proceeded to play a game of cat and mouse looking for each other. 20 minutes late......all is good. I am found, water melon and drink are bought we head back to Jacks and in standard Chinese fashion we meet a new Chinese friend who speaks very good English. And tells us all about his life long plans!
After making it in to the flat we quickly get ready as Jack has 1 unit of electric left. Then we sit and wait for Colin and his wife in semi darkness lol!
Finally they arrive we drink a few in Colin's and head out for food! Obviously as we are eating we are surrounded by people for photos and gambaying! And on the way to the club we pick up some fans.
The club is obviously empty as it's Thursday but there's a dance floor and music and free drink not a lot more you can ask for! We dance, we drink! We head home. The joys of small towns you can walk everywhere. We got home pretty quickly with a stop off for Jack to eat the biggest bowl of rice ever devoured by one human being and head to bed knowing tomorrow is the big one!
We wake and head to the gym (yes me too) I get a free trial and while in the gym and Jacks doing his "tri's, bi's fri's" I was just pottering around looking for machinery that I could understand and actually use. Two people came up and stood right in front of me and just watched me and then took me to the room with mats and then another two personal trainers noticed I didn't really know what I was doing and decided to give me a full on work out session each for the two hour we was there. (I can hardly move my arms) in the end I was like Jack we need to go I can't do any more! Feeling shaky and weak we grab some food for lunch and Jack gets some electricity put on his card. So he comes in and is like why isn't it working??? Maybe we need to give it some time. After a while he's like maybe I should do something with this card hang on. So he runs down stairs and obviously doessomething because a second later everything is back on! So yes moral of the story once you put money on the card, put the card in the electric box!
Showers accomplished food eaten and Jack packed we head to central station to meet the others.
So the train we was supposed to get should of been prebooked so we decided to get the coach. Whilst waiting for everyone to arrive we see Irish Shaun. Seriously these things never happen! He was all packed and heading to Shanghi to watch a big Irish football match.
We get on the coach after eating some horrific food! Next stop the Big Z!
So as there is 8 of us. 4 are at Shaun's and 4 at Rachel's. We get to Shaun's and his apartment is an amazing brand new bungalow with a bed that feels like rock! I understand harder beds are good for your back but nothing that hard can be good for your hips. Tips for china sleep on your back or expect bruises.
Anyway I walk into the bathroom and the biggest spider runs ! I mean it's so big the boys scream too! Which made me feel better after screaming way too much. Murder committed, we quickly get ready and predrink then head to Sams bar. Once there we discover that Noël and Rachel who we new had a date (oh how I love romance) are now actually a full fledged couple!!! Omg literally word spreads quickly, my fault but it was happy news, and when they walk In the whole place starts clapping as if they're newly weds! Reunited 
We head to the club we've heard all about. Now we haven't actually been to any club clubs yet so 15 white people walk in and it's like a massive big draw every head is turned to us as we make our way through the crowd. The Dj announces us and free drinks are brought straight over to our area that has miraculously appeared. At this point there is a banana and a minion dancing onstage so I assume you know what's coming next! All of us make our way to the stage and it's like the crowd wakes from a trance, we start dancing they start dancing! I don't quite know where the minion and banana went. The night continuous with lots of dancing, gambaying, photos being taken and an all round good night! Beasht is on it big time and gets a bottle of Henessay! The real stuff! 
As you can see he's having a very good time! And he's trimmed the beard!
Dancing done we head for food! Now zhouzho doesn't have Shoa Koa :( but they do have food street so after finally making it there with a few people lost along the way (they are called the lost boys for a reason) food is ordered drinks are drank and speaches are made! For me the night was celebrating Lorraine finally getting her visa sorted and being able to stay with me all year! Woop! Everything's all good until two things happen Jack starts calling me, he has no idea where he is or where he has been for the last few hours and doesn't know how to get any where and the bill at the restraunt is 200rmb more than it should be as the drinks have already been paid for! At this point it's 5 in the morning I'm full, I'm tired and I want to go home! The lads put us in a taxi as it seems things are getting a tad bad. We then get home and My plan to read Jack the address from the wall out side the uni (as no one who actually lives at the school knows what it is called) is faulted as there is a missing letter and I litrally have no idea what the missing letter can be! So when Shaun gets back after nearly getting arrested, he asked the security man to tell the taxi driver the address! Finally lost boy is on his way home. Bed time!!!
3 hours later Doug bangs on the door and decides he is very excitable and just wants to talk very loudly! Time for an RE lesson this week! Did you know the Catholics never killed Jesus ??? It was was the big big Jews!
Starvation kicks in we wake the others who some how have not woken even with Doug's loud excitableness and we head to meet the others and get food! So you would think finding a Chinese restraunt in China would be easy! Apparently not in the Big Z! We settle for a western Chinese place with extremely comfy seats! Food randomly picked we settle down for the next few hours!
Food was good! Random but good! And not half as much as expected. We then head to Carrefour and maccys! And then find monkeys which wasn't actually nice as they had collars on!
We make it to the bus station just as the bus arrives say our good byes and head home! We arrive at a new station which causes sudden confusion but ultimately isn't a problem as it's close to us.
Our plans for Pizza Hut abolished we jump in a taxi and head home. Poached eggs on toast it is! Although I am ashamed at the state as it was Lorraine's first time.
Skyping begins. I see mother and Aunty Ann this is when she tells me about her friends grandson. And then I skype the girls as they're all together in Manchester! I don't know why but when I saw them all together I burst out crying :( and seeing Sarah there too! It's like it all became very real some how! That must sound stupid. But yes general shit chated, gossip swapped, boobs flashed and faces pulled I said good night and headed to bed!
It's now Sunday and I have a class which I am certain no one is going to turn up for! Fingers crossed!
