Why is 6 afraid of 7? Because 7 was hungry and 7 8 (ate) 9.
Anyways, going to summarize the last 3 days because they have been so ridonkolusly busy I haven’t had a decent amount of time to write something of substance.
Day 7: We had our Academy talent show Saturday evening. A lot of great and clever performances. I made an off screen cameo in my class’ performance starring myself, no less. Haha. LS, JC, and me did a VERY last minute impromptu dance performance to Jay Chou’s Fearless (霍元甲). Awkward. Embarrassing. Funny.
The boss treated us to some Cold Stone (strawberry w/actual strawberries)!
However, new levels of high blood pressure/stress/anger were seen later that night. Not to go into too much detail but, one of our student (later: students) got into trouble for a little mishap. Personal/public apology and some punishment ensued.
Day 8: Happy 234th Birthday America!
From being tired from the day, being ridonkolously hot outside, and not wanting to make the young folks play sports after dinner I made them translate 月亮代表我的心 into English. Being ever the perfectionist, I scrutinized every translation and sent it back if it was anything less than perfection. If only Chinese classes for me back in the day was this easy…
As part of the ongoing punishment for the students who got in trouble yesterday, they had to sit out the fireworks that were to occur on top of the parking deck. I stayed behind to watch them. There’s always fireworks next year…
Since I didn’t get to celebrate properly, I decided to go out and celebrate. Nothing like a cold Slurpee on a hot night.
Day 9: Academy shopping trip again. Last minute purchases for Olympic preparation and International Marketing. LS and me arrived early, so I went and got me a Blizzard (Midnight Truffle) from DQ as we waited. We then went to Bath & Body Works to smell some stuff. Why not? LS definitely deserved some much needed R and R and needed to be removed from the hustle and bustle that is Gov Skool.
Our students are so nice. I got a sweet potato fry, a Pokémon card, and was invited to a nail polish party. (I unfortunately didn't get my nails did)
Saving my breath for tomorrow. Gotta get my voice ready for the Olympics.
