In other news, Langston is turning 3 years old this year, so all of the American teachers here are planning parties for the next two weeks. Me and the new teacher, Josh (he doesn't seem like a new teacher anymore, since he fits in so well with all of us), are having a tie-dye party. The actual party is not until next week, but a couple days ago me and my roommates decided to have a practice run since we weren't sure how well the dye would turn out. So, we decided we would just dye 1 or 2 shirts, but it ended up being so fun and working out so well that we actually tie-dyed 8 pieces of clothing. Mollie and I wore our shirts to school today and the Chinese teachers were so excited about the way they looked, so we think that our party next week will be a big hit!
Besides that, things are continuing to go well here, and the weather is constantly changing. Spring has brought warm weather, rain, and a ton of wind. You never really know what you're gonna get here in Shenyang.
It was weird being here for Easter and Passover, since it is obviously not celebrated in China, but I did have the opportunity to talk to both sides of my family for both holidays. I woke up at 4:00am for Easter, but seeing and talking to my family on Skype was worth it!
I will update in a couple weeks after the parties are over and I get back from vacation, but for now, enjoy a couple pictures below!
By the way, for those that haven't noticed, I am finally on facebook. I gave in and joined after being hassled by my very good friend Katie.
I love and miss you all, and I hope everyone is doing well.
We even tie-dyed socks...
Some of our shirts...
What a fun night...
