Happy Hump Day!
September 24, 2008 10:40 pm Random Thoughts, SchoolWe had Back-2-School night tonight. This was definitely a first where more than half of my student’s parents actually showed up. I have to say that I’d rather have over-bearing parents who care too much about their kids than parents who are non-existent and don’t give a crap about their kids (aka majority of the parents of my students back in Lawndale).
I miss speaking Mandarin.
It’s weird to go from speaking Mandarin every day for the past four years to once in a while now. I’ve been listening to Chinese songs practically every single day on youtube, my iPod, to the Asian man who plays the Yang-Qin in the subway if I’m lucky. Whenever I hear people speaking Mandarin, my ears perk up. Sometimes I get the urge to jump into their conversations but then they’d just think that I was 瘋狂 (crazy).
Maybe I should hire a Mandarin conversationalist to talk to.

You should teach a class on speaking Chinese! Put your talents together.

Hi Alice! I just got from our BTSN too. Man, it’s the most nerve wracking night of my year for sure!
Hope you’re enjoying life out there in the big city!
