Chinese Class.

Dang, I'm going to miss our class and the people who are leaving, or moving.>

Our class dynamics, class chemistry, the teachers, everything. Ugh. It feels like graduation…but its not even. I hate good times. They always have to end.haha

impressions.

Tina – I always thought tina didn’t like me. Or at least saw me as this little trouble maker. But she’s awesome. Way too smart for her own good. Lol. Just gotta find the right way to make her laugh.

Thomas – the class leader. Love his laugh, and his good nature-ness. Smart, calm, and preserved. I loved his presence in class.

Chad – always adds insights. I liked his laid-back take on the class. Also, loved his popped collars. Haha.

Don – he has the best laugh. Kelsi and I dig it so much we always smile hearing it. Good guy.

Austin – His mistakes are hilarious. Love how he slips into the Korean. “ne”. haha. What a pleasure to work with him in class.

Marie – working on the skit with her was fun. I thought she was stand-offish, but she was actually more fun than I thought.

Natalie (married one) – she was the first one I thought I could be friends with since she asked me for help on the first quizzes we went through.

Levi – the first guy I ever spoke to in class. I asked him if this was actually Chinese 101 since the class seemed too hard, and way more work even for a 4 credit class. Such a chill guy. Loved his Mohawk in class and appearing in the Daily Universe.

Kirsi – kirsi is so sweet. She is positive and an amazingly fun person. Seems care free and laid back, but a hard worker.

Christian – what can I say? I loved his funny motions and jokes. The second guy I ever spoke to in asking him for help. He was really chill, thought he was the tough silent type at first. XD “Wo bu bu”, “Ding …ding…ding”. Haha.

Joseph – The other asian guy in class. Nice nice kid. One of a kind. “nailed it”. Haha.

Sorah – oh my gosh. The Jewel of Chinese class. Haha. Yes, she became more outspoken as class continued. She was really quiet at first, but she’s really cool. Had to give her a hard time for missing class so much. “you go girl”. Seeing her in the library way too much, seeing her 5 times in one day. Haha.

Natalie Peterson – aww yeah. Got to know her better second half of semester. We have a lot in common, and since she’s from Californian she gets my train of thought, viewpoints, and moods. Haha. Loved sharing music with her and Sorah. Natalie’s personality, and attitude are closer to mine, and she gets a lot of my jokes and likes the same kind of jokes. Haha. PLUS, she was in Club Style. So cool. “Gee”. Haha.

David Cramer – the class clown. Love that kid. He has got the most awesome attitude about life, and the kewlest personality. Can make anyone laugh. I will never forget his skits. DANG I wish we could have taped them. XD

Lisa Callister – Lisa is sooo chill. Easy person to get along with. Nice, and always willing to help. Always there. Love having her in class. Getting donuts, studying late at night, “Danielle”. Haha.

Andrea – I will remember our tunnel singing endeavors. Lol. Dang it was cold too seeing in those tunnels. I was intimidated by her, still am. But she’s got a certain way of doing things, and is independent. Appreciate that. Loved our last skit. Haha.

Cate Mumford – MU KAI YING!! Oh gosh. Where do I even begin with the memories? My first girlfriend in class. First prank pulled together. The music videos. Tunnel singing. The crazy hair, the skits, the teasing from Gong Lao shi. Your food, your festive holiday colors, seeing you at devotionals, cheering for Boise state, and just getting to know her. Mumford!! Haha.

Lyz – oh Lyz. Thank you for so much. For providing time to study, for providing us with food, for your home, for being enthusiastic, friendly, and excited. It was neat to hear her stories on the time when she was at byu. She has some AWESOME stories. I will never forget about talking about dating, and the advice given to me, especially from a married person.

Daphna – DAPHNA! Oh yes. You (since you will probably read this) are an awesome person and friend. I love your enthusiasm and curiosity for life. You added something special to Chinese class. You were always the most outspoken, the one to laugh the most, the one to answer questions, and the one that understood everything the teacher was saying! Haha. Everyone in class knew who you were (and that’s a awesomely good thing). You and David made quite the pair ;) . “let’s make it interesting. How about you’re writing to your boyfriend?” David: What if your professor was your boyfriend. Yeah? That would make it real interesting. HAHAHA. Thanks for being such a good sport…even though I could never freakin get a hold of you!! And you stopped coming to the review sessions!! DANG I will miss you in class!!

Kelsi – JADE!!! My girlfriend outside of class. Hahaha. Kelsi honestly intimidated me at first and I was scared to read off dialogue with her, but Kelsi turned to out to be so awesome. I think to a certain level, she laughed and clicked with me better than any other person in class. Like she knew the intention of my jokes and stuff without me ever having to say the complete thing. Really really awesome girl. I feel bad, because I think she only got about 75% of everything that happened in class because I would always be talking to her. (and hey, gong lao shi didn’t care…most of the time). Haha. I have no idea how many inside jokes we’ve now accumulated. Lol.

Shalise – so Daphna, apparently, Shalise was going to be my girlfriend in the last round? Haha, finally figured that out. Lol.

the first person EVER to say “hi” to me in class and that was a big deal to me. I think that was the point where I said to myself “I think I might like this class”. Shalise is so funny and her cluelessness is fun to observe, but I’ve learned a lot from her. Appreciate her excitement to learn. Always fun, smiling, and laughing. Because of her, I will never forget xi hua wu now. LOLOLOL.

Gong Lao Shi –love gong lao shi. Even though everyone says she’s too strict, she wasn’t strict with me. Honestly, I got away with TONS of stuff. She only cracked down on me several times (though she hammers Shalise a ton haha). But I loved her humor, her desire to help us be good, to correct us so we can be better, to provide help, and to join in us with humor, youtube videos, and teasing. Turning our prank on her back against us in teasing is a testament to her versatility and flexibility. Gong lao shi shi hao de lao shi! You know, I realized now how much I didn’t show my appreciation. L I need to get a card and give it to her!

Zhou Lao Shi – so nice and warm hearted. Everyone liked her though I think she was little harsher on me. But she was nice, kindhearted, and had a good sense of humor and optimism on life. Her food was good too. Haha.
