Introduce Yourself!
Today I had Technique of Oriental Brush (freshman class). I wasn't planning on taking this class but by an act of fate, I ran into someone who told me that the Professor spoke English. Hot dang! So today was our first day of painting. We use 1. Rice Paper 2. BIg oriental looking soft hair brushes....3. Indian Ink (black ink). The Professor is so nice, she gave a short lecture and then explained it to me in English afterwards, then helped me get started. Suddenly she was like, "I encourage them to talk to you and work on their English, why don't you introduce yourself?" Then she got the attention of the entire class (maybe about 30), and told me to give an introduction. So I'm all like, "sup, yo foos. I from the states y'all." then I flashed the peace sign. No, I'm totally kidding, I did the normal name, from America, USU exchange student, I'm nice so talk to me... thing. Anywho, I give my brief spiel, and then the whole class gives me an applause! I go back to work, but the next thing I know, there's about five students surrounding me and asking me questions and talking to me. They were so cute! Then they started showing me how to hold my brush the right way, and how to get the ink soaked in it, etc. It was awesome! Afterwards, the professor took me out to lunch, and it was so great! These Koreans I tell you, they will kill me with kindness.
