Together Snoring
Last week, when my host sister caught word that I was leaving in July, she insisted that we share a bed together.
“One night,” she begged.
Seeing how upset she was when I was leaving for China, I decided that I would okay the idea as I didn’t want to disappoint her. This was a serious matter; she even had it marked down on her calendar–June 1st.
To be honest, I wasn’t thrilled about this date and I’m glad it’s over. This is mostly due to the fact that I knew I wouldn’t get any sleep–I was right. I’m a light sleeper that can only fall alseep under specific conditions and being the second person in a twin bed is not one of those conditions. But I’m a clever one and I purposely scheduled our “together snoring” time for a Friday so that I could relax and catch up the next day.
It did seem important to my host sister, though, and I am glad that I decided to do it.
