Feeling some Chinese synergy

Guess what everybody!

I just found out that I was selected to be a delegate at the annual Chinese Synergy program! This is an exciting opportunity because it sends me to China where I will visit different cities to meet with leaders and attend seminars. It sure sounds like fun. They also will make me a custom-made uniform to wear on special occasions! Sort of makes me feel like one of the Von Trapp children in The Sound of Music:)

I just hope it doesn't conflict with my trip to California...

Dance it up!

I am not sure how many people know this, but I am an avid beginner dancer. It is true- turn on the music and I look like a chicken in Tap shoes:)

At Queen's they offer dance lessons of all kinds. I signed up for intermediate Hip Hop and intermediate Tap dance (inspired by my little cousin Jennifer who is no doubt better than I am). And at the very end of the year, we put on a large dance show. This year we had a sold-out crowd on all four nights! Needless to say, it is great fun and a great way of relieving stress after a hard days work.

Hopefully, there will be a picture that accompanies this message- if I can sort out the technology...

Call me Don

I just found out I made Don today:)
For those of you who may not know what that is, it is basically a community advisor for first years in residence. I get free room and board as well as a free meal plan! Sweet deal.

It is strange because I actually am looking forward to the meal plan. Mom is worried that I will eat too much - to get my money's worth so to speak. And I must confess, I don't blame her. Of the freshman 15 in first year, I gained 7! (Freshman 15 is the supposed weight gain in pounds of the average first year here at Queen's. Frightening eh?) I suppose it doesn't help that it is buffet style with unlimited ice cream and desserts.

But regardless, I feel great! Like I am about to embark on a new mission. I have no idea which residence I will be in but I am crossing my fingers to be placed in one of the new buildings. If I do, I will get my own bathroom and double bed!
