shakespeare

i taught my last normal class! i love this class so it was a good note to end on. we had a lot of fun and they all think i'm crazy



exams are done too. almost done grading!

#4. i gave them full credit for this one

We finally had our play - shakespeare's 12th night. it was so much fun!

they had really nice posters around campus. the playbills looked professional too

The play practices were craziness. 100 people running around yelling in chinese and us trying to figure out what to do. it miraculously came together the last week. it actually turned out really good and entertaining

the crew

the school hired a way good lighting and sound crew for the show. they went a little nutso with the strobes tho. the accents were hilarious! speaking clips to come

gettin my thesbian on

my quartet played well too. they played between and in the scenes. teaching them was a challenge with the language barrier!

ballet dancer dancing to the overture

The audience really enjoyed it and laughed alot. im glad cuz we put alot of work into it

our favorite students. we're trying to set these two up

when we left the other students were just finishing school (at 9 pm). singing "poor unfortunate souls" by Ursula

and i thought studying at byu sucked!

east asian cultural observation (ive heard it's the same with the japanese too.) they believe very strongly in groupwork. so, in a project, everyone's there all the time. even if there's no reason for them to be there.
that kills me! i hate being inefficient! and that's how the play went down

another observation - alot of people here dont actually listen to what you're saying. they only hear what they want to hear! it's like the dead people on the 6th sense.
 that's why i usually e-mail my boss when i have a question - even though we share a desk hahaha. she doesn't listen!

somebody listen to me!!!!!!!!

our boss is hilarious though and is always  running around frantically (asian sytle with baby steps)

charge!

i talked to the family history center in taipei and they said if i don't find the boat records i might have to wait til the resurrection to find grandpa ping. everybody do some searching for that boat!

i didn't do anything to celebrate easter. no chocolate no eggs no ham no nuttin. sad sad. and i didn't get to see jonah and maelo fight for eggs. bummer. can i get a play by play reenactment later?

little ding-dong science theme park. i already got enough lil dingdongs in my school to worry about

thursday i'm going to the Philippines and mainland china! gonna be fun. also stressful on a budget. no food exploration no souvenirs no acrobats. it's ok i'm sure this wont be the last time im in china.

fortunately, i found some places to stay on couchsurfing.com.

they must love duck dynasty here

I'm working on my chinese so that my trip will be a lil less stressful.

definitely should have learned more chinese

what's chinese for "don't run me off the road please!"
