I slept much better last night--went to sleep around 9:30 and woke up between 5:30 and 6:00. I still have the cold, but it didn't wake me up too often or keep me awake for very long. I can talk fine, which is helpful for teaching.
This week's lesson topic is on Matchmaking. The book talks about modern computer services, but I'm going to have groups of students make a play about an ancient village matchmaker. That should fill a good amount of time and keep me from talking too much. I never would have gotten the idea had I not attended the Beijing Opera on Saturday.

It was wretched; something like a cross between marmite and soy sauce...but it did seem to clear up the cough.
I'll ask her how to make it; in the meantime, try drinking marmite and soy sauce.
