Busy Day Tomorrow

I'm going to bed kind of early tonight since I have to wake up at 6:30 tomorrow for a super busy day.

7:00 - Rehearse for next Saturday's performance of Romeo and Juliet. I landed the role of Romeo! And by "landed" I mean I volunteered. And it's actually just a 10 minute skit. But it'll still be fun to perform, especially because it'll be in Chinese. Plus, theater at Yale is intense and competitive, so this is an opportunity to satisfy my "biaoyanyu" - desire to perform haha. The skit is part of next Saturday's "Beijing Night," a sort of talent show that HBA has every year.

11:00 - Meet up with some Yalies who were in my Chinese class last semester. It'll be cool to compare what our Chinese is like now, since we're all doing different programs (HBA, Duke-in-China, and Princeton in Beijing). We're going shopping at the Silk Market where I'll be able to practice my haggling skills and hopefully buy some cheap clothes.

3:00 - Get back to campus to practice for my second Beijing Night act, an a capella rendition of a traditional Chinese song. I wasn't planning to do this but my friend really needed boys in her group since she had already written the sheet music. I haven't sung since high school but it's just a background part so it shouldn't be too hard to remember, and it should be fun.

5:00 - Practice for my third Beijing Night act: the kungfu routines that we learned at Shaolin. There are two, but on the day we learned the second one I didn't feel too well, so I didn't learn all of it. I still have to perfect it. Hopefully I have enough time this week to not only attend class and do all of my homework and prepare for my weekly test, but also memorize a martial arts routine, a Chinese song, and a Chinese skit.

6:00 - Eat dinner.

Afterwards - Do my homework. It's a three-pages-of-vocab night. Those are the worst. Luckily since it's the weekend we don't have written homework.

Good night!
