I had one class, which was another tutorial class. I found this to be really helpful since more time can be spent during lecture on the material and the tutorial course can be used to clarify anything that is unclear throughout the lecture. Perhaps this could be implemented in CUNY…

Afterwards, I went to the mall in hopes of ice-skating, but things did not quite work out so I wound up walking around with a classmate. A notable place in the mall I found of interest was a music place; I spent a lot of time fooling around with the piano there. Soon enough, my other classmates arrived and we ate dinner together at a place that specialized in Shanghainese food.

After dinner, I left to check out a fellowship at the university. It’s tough not being able to fully understand the language, but it is helpful knowing even some so that I could communicate with others. Hoping to continue improving in my Chinese!
