Shelby's Life and Whatnot

It's Been Hot

Yes, it's been hot, but tolerable in the store, at least for me. It's presentation time in my Chinese class. We are supposed to get into groups and create a skit--either perform the skit in front of the class on Skit Day or videotape it and show it. My group decided on the latter. We are kind of at a disadvantage, since we're the only group in the entire class without a native Chinese speaker in it, but we did the best we could. Our skit was a "Jeopardy" parody (parody being it looked like Jeopardy but was actually nothing like it). Tim, our cameraman, took the footage and then took it home to edit it. The next class meeting he reported that the video was "spotty" and "do any of you want to look at it?" That was a unanimous "no" "we trust you, Tim!" I think it should be just fine. We inserted some humor into our script thanks to yours truly. The Jeopardy theme was actually our second choice, but we couldn't figure out the logistics of a skit entitled "Crouching Classmate, Hidden Blackboard" (our vocabulary is extremely limited). Anyway, we've got one more week of class and then finals week. Hard to believe another semester is over! Well, almost.
