Small victories

This morning I used an ATM successfully by myself.  Which is not a big deal, but it was this morning, for a couple of reasons.  One, I'm pretty much illiterate here.  There was an English option, but there were only a few English "hints." I had to push buttons, and hope and pray my money wasn't being transferred to some hacker sitting in a basement somewhere.  Two, the money doesn't spit out neatly, a door opens up, and you have to reach into the machine and grab it.  Count your money before you walk away.  And your fingers. 
  More class later today, and tomorrow, and tomorrow afternoon, I move into the apartment in Tongxiao.
