Been feeling frustrated and tired and mentally-drained for the past weeks. You know, when one feels really down and out, it just gets stuck and shittier. Things just get more negative by the days. But I'm happy to say that things are finally on track now, at least for some. :)
1. We are really creating a new milestone in FACES Beida-Renda collaboration! YAYs. We ourselved are simply excited over these new ideas! 20th March: Movie screening at Renmin Uni (US movie probably) Both chapter members and some American students will be joining us! We are thinking of ways to make it interesting for this first effort! Okay, there's snacking, there's "Who wants to be a millionaire" contest after the movie. We'll create score charts, a kind of competition for both chapters...and then total up the score every month. The losing chapter will get to treat all of us! heh. We hope to make this movie screening/informal discussions on Sino-US relations a bi-weekly affair. 4th April/5th April Spring Outing: FACES Amazing Race at Tianjin! (Teams of 5 made up of 2 Beida + 2 Renda + 1 American student).
2. Summer Plans: Oh yes, this has been a constant source of frustration since the semester started. Instead of doing a Summer Program at Berkeley for 8 weeks, I've decided to save up for future grad studies! It sounds more realistic this way. In that case, I'll most probably stay for the PKU summer school from 29 June to 31 July (though I always feel I don't learn much from this!) But anyhow, it makes more room for other plans. And then go for a Technology & Education, Connecting Cultures (TECC) - TECC Summer Institute Volunteer Program in the rural parts of China. I almost jumped at this when I was doing FACES recruitment at 三角地 yesterday. It would be interesting to volunteer, teach and learn! This will take place till mid August. Thereafter, I will fly home for a MOE HQ Attachment. I was really spoilt for choice when I had to choose my top 3 division choices. Hoping to get into Curriculum Planning & Development Division. Otherwise, Training and Development Division would be good too, I can learn and contribute counselling and teaching practices from teachers! :) I was also very attracted by the Education Programme Divsion.....I'm interested to help students with special needs, like autism and ADHD. So looking forward!

It's not that chocolates are a substitute for love. Love is a substitute for chocolate. Chocolate is, let's face it, far more reliable than a man. ~Miranda Ingram
Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get!
"There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who love chocolate, and communists."
