Finally, the last day of classes for the first week. Chinese started the day as usual and it was followed by a better-than-expected lunch at one of the ECNU cafeterias. I had a bowl of noodles and at only 4 RMB, it was totally worth it.
Today was supposed to be a pretty crummy day, class-wise, because my original schedule had a huge 7 hour gap in between Chinese and Law and Society. Luckily, NYU is adding another Law and Society class at 1-4 PM, so I don’t have to wait until 5 PM to go to class. The professor, Dan Guttman, is really enthusiastic. He made a really good first impression. The first class was entertaining, as we introduced ourselves and had a little fun mapping out China’s geography. He [poorly] drew a shape representing China and we had to name places (provinces, cities, etc.).
