Students

Before I write one of my usual updates, I'd like to share the work of my students. I'm currently teaching a group 4th to 7th graders who have now reached a fairly high level of competency in English. By way of exhibiting their work, I've started a blog for them so that others can see the kind of progress their making.

So far, they've researched important people in history and have written short biographies for them. Later this week, I will put up their recent project to design and describe their own fantasy character. If you, my faithful readers, have got the time, I know it would mean a lot to them if you took a look at what they've done and left some words of encouragement for them in their respective comments sections. Follow the picture to find access the blog.


As for me, a recent effort gone south has made me reevaluate my plans for the rest of this year. I think that I want to get back in shape by training for another marathon and getting my gills by getting PADI certified. Their might also be an upcoming trip to Da Lat, visiting friends from home, and a potential trip of my own back "west." It's not all fun and games, though. Summer school at ILA starts next week and I'm putting on a workshop about students with special needs this month. Compared to what I was doing last winter, though, this should be a walk in the park.

Chinese Chess - Cờ Tướng - 象棋

The latest interest I've taken in my quest to learn more about my Vietnamese heritage is the game of Chinese chess. It is a bit ironic to look for Vietnamese culture in a game that has the word "Chinese" in its name, but I found that it is only so for the sake of translation. I have taken to this game for a number of reasons. 1. The game has cool historical references that have survived even today. Let's start with the board itself. Unlike a chess board, which is played on the squares, Chinese chess is played on the intersections of lines.  What is most recognizably different from normal chess boards, however, is the large gap in the middle of the board as well as the lines that form an "x" on opposites sides of the board. The square that contains the "x" is known as the "fortress," or 宮(gōng )  in Chinese. The center divider is the river where s ome Chinese words are visible. The words on the left say,  楚河 (chǔ hé ) , mean...

As a person who's done a fair amount of traveling, I couldn't agree more with this:

Paradise Falls wouldn't even hold a candle to this place.

Waiting and Waiting

March 1st. Now every day for the next two weeks will be agonizing torture. Have I been accepted? Have I been rejected? Will my career advance? Will I be right back where I was this time last year? I've been told to be patient, keep my head up, to not worry about things that aren't in my control. That's tough going, but I'm trying. How apt, then, that I'd come across this quote again: “I wanted you to see what real courage is...It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do.” I thought my chances were small in the beginning, but I did see it through. Now back to waiting to see if this time is my "sometime."
