chalk it up.

I don't mean to brag, but I did win best handwriting in my freshman year Spanish class in college. So you can imagine my confidence level when Kara and I decided to participate in our school's "chalk handwriting" competition. Of course (as with anything we do here in China), we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into...


Pre-competition photo opp with other teachers from the department of foreign affairs...


and the air-hostess girlies.


Moments before the competition...


and so it begins.




Next, it was time for the teachers.
Allen was a little nervous.



"Team Excellent"- a.k.a. the three of us who didn't write in Chinese


Not gonna lie...I was a little nervous too.


Kara's finished product.
I think she won.


My turn.
Can't go wrong with a little Emily Dickinson and some cursive...


Posing for the crowds:)


If the girls' facial expressions mean anything...
I totally lost.


Final thoughts...

  2. "you're more special than your handwriting."

    Those are words to live by for sure.
