最近真的太忙了。
I went for 武协（武术协会）first training last Friday and wanted to write about it, but ended up playing Bridge till 2am so didn't have the chance. Anyway, there are around 30 newcomers and there are 11 nationalities between us lols. Since it was the first lesson, the captain taught us the basic stuff like 弓步、扑步、马步、虚步、坐步 and the standard 压腿 stuff, including 踢腿、外摆、里合. 能听到这些熟悉的字眼，我真的很兴奋。后来还学了五步拳（也就是集合上述五步的一套很基本的套路）。这和以前学过的差不多，只是长了点。我的优势在于1）我听得懂社长的指示，和2）我总算有点基础，所以这是第一次在学套路时不是最慢的 =D 社长也示范了基本功在实战时的用处，专挑两名男生叫他们打他一拳或替他一腿，然后把他们摔在地上。到了后来那两人都不敢再“攻击”他了 XP
I left training slightly earlier to go for an interview with TECC (Technology & Education: Connecting Culture), which was in English and Chinese. Elab next time.
Saturday was spent preparing for International Cultural Festival (ICF). Basically each country sets up a booth during ICF, and since only Beida has this, the Qinghua people are automatically roped into help as well XD Feel so patriotic lols.
Then on Sunday, I went for 答疑 aka Q&A for Maths. By the way, I'm doing a Maths module because I figured I would just die during the exams if ALL subjects I take are Arts. More about my modules next time. I made friends with the 助教! Hahaha, it is important to have connections with people who hold a certain percentage of your score =P And at night, we went for a concert at the 百周年纪念讲堂. The concert's title is “童年回忆——世界经典动画片主题曲 大屏幕视听交响音乐会” and our not-bad tickets cost 60RMB each =) The orchestra played pices from Lion King, Dinosaur, Mulan, Aladdin, Nemo, Tom and Jerry etc, and even a few pieces from Swan Lake! =D The pieces were synced with the video of the cartoons/animations playing on the big screen, and I really feel like re-watching all my childhood cartoons again <3 The pieces were all pretty short though.
Yesterday was Monday, ie lessons, but I only have one lesson on Mondays =D We whipped up brunch, with the help of luncheon meat, instant porridge, muffin powder, bread, baguette, and LOTS OF EGGS lols! Haha I did French toast and omelette with luncheon meat XD The French toast was a bit damp, and the omelette became pieces of eggs, but they were still nice and we ate up everything =D
So today, I have 4 lessons, and the second wushu training. It's good training is today, because I had muscle aches for the past few days >< I climbed stairs like an old woman. Anyway the aches have almost all gone away today =) Right, going for lessons now.
