surprise!

Got a major surprise last night. The teacher from the Chinese cultural office at PCHS called me last night regarding a 6-month scholarship to study Chinese in 雲南. The scholarship is sponsored by the Chinese government. It includes everything, from tuition to lodging, I just have to pay for the airfare. On top of that, I get RMB800 every month for food expenses(Will I be spending that much?haha). It's a pretty good offer. However, dad doesn't want me to go, because he's not sure if the place is as developed or modern as Shanghai or Beijing.

I really, really want to go!!!

I've been yearning for escape for years...and this is such a great opportunity! Coz my parents won't have to spend for it.That way, they don't really have anything to complain about.

They have to come up with a real good reason if they don't want me to go on this one. For Canada, its too far...so they can't use that here,coz 雲南is in Southern China, and pretty near the Philippines. Shobe's friends dad said that the place is really beautiful, that its a city(as in, not a probinsya-type place), so they can't use that as a reason too.

Well, we'll have to see how creative they get, and how I counter their reasons. (Here's where FOLOGIC comes to use.hahaha)
