The First Month Of School!!!!



Well alot has happened the first month good and bad alike. Well because I went up a day early not many people were there but some where. I got the best bunk in the room and ironicly I got the same room as in my first year as a dorm student. I was quite suprised though. On the first night some of the other kids and I were waiting for two taiwanese kids to get to the dorm that night and when they came they all came to my room and we slept at 4:00 in the morning. That was such a night because we were talking what we did the whole summer. Adding that everybody was really jetlag. I managed to get some pictures at like 2:00 in the morning with out them beating me up lol. Well the next few days everybody started to come and we soon became a new family with only what 3 or 4 new students in the dorm. Then it came the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL which was really fun believe it or not. My classes are very nice. Meditation, Chemistry, Geometry, Chinese 4, English, U.S History, Buddhism and then P.E. Well my teachers are really cool but my hardest classes are Chinese and Chemistry. My teachers are really weird especially my chinese teacher. Who is BEN CHEN. (just Kidding) He is a really good teacher just like Heng Jen Shr which I really miss because she is not my chinese teacher but I am happy Ben is my teacher.








He sure knows how to push us students though maybe just alittle too much. During one of my English classes we acted out the tragedy of hamlet. Which we are using the girls schools supplies.








Then came peace day which was not bad either the little girls were really cute when they sang their song though. Just to say the first time the Jr. High and High School went to the Peace day event which is usually dominated by the girl school.












I am so busy after school this year because I have a Student Body meeting every Tuesday and then on Wendsday I have Chinese Orchrastra whis I am trying out the flute just for the heck of it. The Moon fesitval then came and that was a hit I think the best one we ever had. We had skits the 2 wise men which I did it with Ben(my chinese teacher). The school started a T-Shirt club which everybody spent lots of money and the T-shirts were really nice. There was also a really cool juice foutain looking thing was really really neat.


































Then we played musical chairs which was full of pushing and luckily nobody pulled the chair from underneth of them. After the moon festival we had a long clean up and everybody was happy. On Sunday as usual we had a study hall and then a tragic accident happened which was truly a tragedy. Ms. Sutherland passsed away and we recited for her and hopes she goes to a good place. On that Thursday we held a memorial in the Confuscious Hall which many people attended . We recited the Amitahba Sutra for Ms. Sutherland.








And finally ending my first month I came back home for an appointment. On sunday there was a kids session at Berkeley Monastrywhich I attended and it was nice sorry I don't have any pictures of that and that concluded my first month of school. I am going to go back to CTTB toaday and the next time i'll be back is around Novemeber 12 which is Veteran's day for another appointment for my braces to change colors and tighten them. So until then I will be at school and I hope next time I come back I can update my BLOG SPOT hahahha so see you all later and until next time!!!!!!!! Ohhh yeah HAHAHA I changed my brace colors to blue and light blue hahaha that is so cool huh.!!!!!!!!!!!!












BYE BYE!!!!!!!!!!
