Cultural Festival

The weekend before Spring Break, a cultural festival was held at Hollins. It's held every semester, and it's a evening of international students sharing cultural performances, food, drinks, and such. Like I mentioned before, we have a lot of international students at Hollins, and, especially this year, there are 5 Japanese students including myself. It's exciting. :o)

Below are some pics from the festival.


Ayaka (a Japanese student since last year) and I.
My yukata. It was a gift from one of my mom's professors. I needed a little help from Ayaka to put it on. LOL

Japanese students and Phong (the pianist for the song we sung for the festival).
No matter what I wear, and how nice I look, I just can't help but put some funkiness in it!! lol

The Japanese students that are currently at Hollins University!! We keep thing interesting and Oriental in Roanoke! lol From the left, it's Kanako(Jr), Ayaka(Sr), Me(Sp), Kaori(Jr), and Miho(Jr). Kanako is only here this year, and Ayaka is graduating, so this is the last year these 5 will be walking together on Hollins Campus... ;o( We promised each other that we will go out for a drink someday in the future in Japan. :o) Ayaka told me that she will send me some Japanese food next year!!!!!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

Where did my spring break go...? ;o(

Picture of the day... This will be me if I had to take the train to go to school.LOL

Last week was called Spring Break at Hollins University, but the dance department called it something else: American College Dance Festival Association Conference. Unless we already had a commitment to be somewhere else, dance students were required to stay for Spring Break, and help out with ACDFA. The conference was good. It went really well. I got to meet some friends that goes to other colleges/universities, too. It was fun.

I never thought not getting a break could be so bad... Maybe for me it's just the fact that I am exhausted and still have the same amount of work that I had before the break... But the fact is, half of dance department has the sniffels, someone brought Pinkeye to ACDFA, so it's spreading in the dance department, and there are some who are really sick now.

Many in the dance department are involved in the school theatre performance, "Chicago," which is going to be performed next week. We also have our own dance show coming up in a month. Let's hope all of us will find the time to catch up with some rest soon. One way the other, we have to get through this!!!

Happy Spring, everyone!!!!!!!!!!
