So I feel like a really out-of-touch Asian right now because I have no idea when the Lunar New Year is suppose to be. I mean, I already got my New Year’s money, so I didn’t really need to keep track. Hehhehhh…

But year of the rabbit man. That’s cool. I can’t wait for year of the dragon because we be dominating yo.

Hope you’re kind enough to excuse my weird ramblings right now. I’m a bit confused spending my time between high school and college. Imagine the transition I have to make daily! It’s frightening. My students scream “Ms. Gee! Ms. Gee!” and I won’t hear them until I stop and think ‘Oh yeah… That’s me.“ I’m still not used to being called Ms. Gee yet.

Oh then today a student said "Cuz he’s a dick” in reference to one of the characters from Their Eyes Were Watching God and my cooperating teacher took him out of the class for a little chat. I thought it was freaking hilarious. Damn, I got lots to learn it seems.

So anyway, the real reason for this post is to introduce the cool things I’m looking forward to :) These are events and projects that I am actually involved in and attending!

1. Hibakusha: Animated Short Film by Steve Nguyen & Choz Belen

Everyone involved in this project–the survivor, the directors, the supporters–is super passionate, which makes it so inspirational. I’m really looking forward to it.

Like them on facebook here! Or you can look to your right and I have an app for that. Wrd.

2. ECAASU: East Cost Asian American Student Union

For once, ECAASU is coming to me! Although I always did enjoy driving down with my friends to where ever and staying at a hotel for the night. Wait–it’s really not as exciting as that sounds… although the conference is indeed very exciting in all of its college madness Asian invasion kind of way.

3. BANANA 2

Anyone watch the new Fringe episode? Banana… get it?

Anyway, it’s interesting that I’m attending two conferences in the span of a week. I’m looking forward to learning a lot :D
