—Excerpt from the introduction to a 6 paragraph story by one of my Taiwanese third graders. The school requires that all students in 3-5 grade complete a speech, memorize it and present it in front of the entire student body. The teachers are responsible for making sure the speeches are charming and descriptive, and generally don’t suck. The sentence above is the first of many. I bounce between cry-laughing and cry-crying.I name call Benson. I am inside Pi class middle of a student.

There are many reasons I shouldn’t cook. But by far, the most important is that whenever you put me in a kitchen I do really stupid crap, like rubbing a hot, red chili in my eye. First with my fingers, then using my shirt to wipe and then, as if the pain couldn’t get any worse, blindly using the napkin I’d wiped my chili hands on to wipe some more. That’s just stupid. The pain is finally subsiding but I have a hard time believing my vision will ever be the same.
My quinoa with chickpeas and mushroom in a chili tomato sauce was fantastic though.

I miss my family.
While I continue in Neverland, life goes on at home. This usually isn’t a problem, since my parents keep me in the loop with frequent Skype conversations. The hard part is when events occur that my Dad’s endless stream of emails can’t make up for. Like, the birth of my niece’s first baby girl. And, when family members aren’t doing well and I can’t be there to support the people I love most in the world.
Anyway, I’m happy with the choices I’ve made. I want to continue my life abroad. But, damn. Weeks like this are tough.

Esta no es una pintura. Alexa Meade pintó con acrílicos directamente sobre la piel para crear esta ilusión.

Yes, because the thought process that leads you to print up signs ahead of time and then wander the crowd at the Glenn Beck rally looking for someone to pose between you is soooooo not racist.
