Venerable Master's Nirvana

Well today is Dwan Wu Jie and the celebration of the Venerable Master's Nirvana. I woke up at 7:20 and took a shower which was quite refreshing. Johnathan spent the night in my room but to my surprise he was not there. I later found out that he did the 3 Steps 1Bow with sunny. I got to the tent at about 7:50 despite the fact that I was waiting for my roommate. When I got to the tent most of the Boy school and Girl school were there. This celebration was much different from the years before due to the fact that both schools were here because usually the Venerable Master Celebration is after school is out. When it came to be 10:00 the whole tent was filled with people even people were standing outside the tent. In my opinion more than half of the assembly was Vietnamese. During the ceremony there were now eight groups instead of 4 so it went a lot faster. The group in the back left corner for some odd reason did not get any incense and Hwei and I were wondering why they did not get it and came to the conclusion that they did not have enough to use in all 8 groups. By lunch time there were probably 1500 people and all the dining vicinities were full including the Confucius Hall. There were about 100-200 people standing outside and we had to open new boxes of cushioned chairs for them to eat. Afterwards the whole dorm ate and it was very good food. After we ate Albert wanted to play some ball so we played. Albert still is quite good even though he has not been playing the whole year. Michael Lan also came up with Jenifer so we played ball with him as well. Later in the afternoon at around 2 or 3 D.M. Tsung came to play some basketball with us and fortunately he was on our team and we won a few games. At 4:00 the summer camp farm counselor's had a class with Mr. Fan absorbing what he was trying to tell us. We have a lot to prepare before the students arrive and I have 5 finals tomorrow so I better hit the books or else I might get a low G.P.A.
