Int. Festival day 2: Mongolians and voice students

During my music class, we were supposed to have a quiz today, but we didn't. To make the long story short, the plan that the teacher made fell through, and not everyone knew that there was going to be a quiz. So we put off the quiz till next Thursday and started learning about African music. I love the African rhythmic structure.. so complicated.


During theatre class came Priscilla's monologue! I think that she did a great job.. she thought out the scene much more thoroughly than did mine.
The other girl who did the monologue today, Marie, played a blind old man and it was hilarious!


During lunchtime, we went to the cafeteria with about 3 other theatre students. We stopped by on the way to see some people from a medieval Mongolian group who were dueling. It was really cool to see them fight. It also reminded me a bit of that movie with Alec Baldwin, "The Shadow"!


Here the two armored guys are getting ready to fight. One is seen taking off his flip-flops. LOL The building behind them is the cafeteria.






We then went into the cafeteria for lunch, and there was a performance by the voice students, taught by the same teacher as my music class. Some were not that great at singing, but a few were pretty good. Priscilla and her Japanese group also had a presentation at the corner of the cafeteria. That beautiful Samurai poster was finally put to use!





Our geography class was, as usual, fast-paced but not very long. We learned about deserts and how to survive through it.


After we got home, we went to pick up dinner at Panda Express. Mmm.. love their orange-flavored chicken! Then we watched the 2-hour-long American Idol.

Naomi is leaving early in the morning tomorrow. We'll miss her while she's gone!
