I originally created this blog to make sure I don't lose my English but after about two months of living in Taipei, I realized that I need to improve my Chinese...oh and of course improving my English won't hurt either :)

BOO!!
In one of my classes today, the students had to review for their upcoming oral exam. My trainer had a really good game where there are two teams and each person has to say one word to answer my question. The last person who finishes has to run and grab the dice and roll it. Each number has a punishment like #1 give two cards (to exchange for prizes) to the other team and #2 is to walk like a chicken. One of the punishments was to say "Teacher Lilly, I love you." The other one was to hug the teacher and another was to do 10 push-ups. Everyone was having a fit since they were not happy about any of them. One of the punishments was smell your shoe but everyone couldn't do it since it was hard so I told them to say "Teacher Nancy, I love you" who is my t/a. It was hilarious! It landed on the hugs a lot and no one wanted to hug me. They were freaking out and screaming haha I didn't think I was that scary but apparently I am. One of the boys Daniel was running around the room, jumping around, and I even tried to grab his arm LOL The girls were pouting about the 10 push-ups so I did the push-ups in class to show them that I can even do it. One of the boys did it and I gave him extra cards. Awww..what a great game!
I realized that as I'm getting older, I'm becoming a scaredy cat. I'm getting easily scared about the littlest things. Well Drew and Cala have picked up on it and they now tease me and try to scare me. The worst so far was last night when Cala was hiding in my room in the dark and I went in my room and she screamed "What are you doing?" lol I told them that I'm going to get high blood pressure from them. One time I was going home and Drew was sitting in the dark and yelled at me. Even the night of river tracing, Drew was taking a nap and it was dark and we were sitting in the backseat driving home and I was in the middle next to him. All of a sudden he yelled to scare me and I jumped and screamed lol I should be sorta used to it but I'm not. I flinch easily and I don't know..I just freak out a lot haha I need to get a backbone but I can't :( Hopefully after dealing with them for a couple of months I will become braver or you know, just barely surviving...whatever comes first...
