I went to a Chinese New Year event in McCarthy Quad tonight. Something with APASS, the Asian Pacific American Student Services, and/or the Chinese American Student Association. I got a free t-shirt, free food, and fun solving those little metal shapes that connect and disconnect. It was a cool event. I liked the fortune cookies dipped in chocolate, as well as the almond jello. I also did some of the first Chinese calligraphy I can remember. I just copied from their example. Jon Lo said the first character might not be right, but I still think it’s pretty cool. Its translation is roughtly: “The studies continues,” some kind of encouragement for doing good work and studying.
