Xin nian kuai le! (Happy New Year!)

I just got off the phone with my Chinese teacher (Ding Yi) and former ayi (Tian Mei) in China wishing them a Happy Chinese New Year! This is the year of the RABBIT.

Even though we would have had probably 1 1/2 to 2 weeks off for Chinese New Year and gone somewhere fabulous, we DID have yesterday and today off due to ice and cold weather so it is kind of like celebrating Chinese New Year.

It is hard to believe we have been back in the U.S. for over 6 months. I have installed Chinese characters on my computer and am trying to continue studying Han zi (Chinese Characters) although I am not attending Hai Hwa this semester due to teaching a bunch more this semester. I hope I can keep up with my studies even without being in the classroom per se.

Happy New Year to you! And remember, Chinese New Year can give you a second chance to make a New Year's Resolution!
