My New Years Events

I got home last night around three in the morning from my New Year's Eve crazy events which included be chauffeured around by the parent's (Annie and George) of one of the children I tutor. I had no clue what was planned or where we were going!! We ended up going from tutoring to a fancy super packed dance club where I proceeded to simply stand in a corner because I was overwhelmed with newness of the situation! I had no clue where I was, I couldn't talk to anyone, I had no clue what was going on. But, I still had a blast! We left there and headed to a Karaoke place where we met up with two of their friends. We had our own huge private room where we sang karaoke for hours, ate food, talked, and I died from cigarette smoke. We finally were kicked out of there at closing around 2am. From there we went to eat 'breakfast' at some 24 hour chinese fast-foodish place. And I got back home around 3am!! To make it better, I stayed up until 6 am talking to Felicia, my Dad, and Cameron! I went to bed at 6!!
Today I woke up around 11:15 to a ringing phone. Boo. Anyways, I sounded like a man because of all the smoke I breathed in last night! I spent all day relaxing, talking to Stateside friends, and cleaning my apt. I had two of my freshman students come over for dinner tonight. I feel really distant from my freshman students and there are two students who are great at English, they really try hard, and they are really nice to me. So, I wanted to invite them over which honestly is an honor to them. And we just talked like friends would, it was really nice. I cooked them Chinese food and they were surprised! I got to know them both better and made plans to do dinner again with some of the other students. OH... one of the students, Will, is the one that bought me Runts, his picture is about three blogs down!
Lastly!! And coolest of all. The Chinese TV show that Jeremy was on finally aired!! So, my students and I went up to Jeremy's apt ( my TV is unplugged and shoved in a corner in my office) to watch the show. They laughed so hard every time that my face came on the screen!! Which is came on quite a bit! Jeremy did a really good job but obviously stumbled for words a few times. It was hilarious to see one of your friends on a game show speaking in another language and then to see your own usually white face to flash across the screen suddenly!! I only wish all of you could have seen it!

Hey, did Jeremy tape the show? Do you have VHS? Ooooh maybe Tivo? I know I know - you're just poor college kids trying to make ends meet! What wrong with your TV?
