I did. I wanted it to happen. But the fates were against me today.
No matter what I did, I couldn't get out of class early. I just kept talking and explaining. I just kept asking questions and getting blanks stares and occasional laughs. I just couldn't get the DVD player to work. Which equaled class lasting the length it should last.
I wanted to escape early to go on a Wal-Mart run before my trip tomorrow. Traffic in Beijing makes the bus trip from my apartment take nearly an hour when it's normally 20 minutes. So, I wanted to avoid the traffic and do this right.
However, my classes lasted the normal time putting me right in the beginning of rush hour in one of the largest cities in the world. It was fun.
But I've now purchased floss and coffee. So all is well in Casa de Lea.
