Catching up

Wow, it has been a while since last time I blogged. Here are some catch-ups.

I finally had my dance debut. After the performance, I sent out this email to my dancers to explain my piece.

*****************
Hi, that's my last "Hi dancers" email. Thanks so much for being in mypiece and dance so well tonight!
You may have been wondering, "why is this piece called 'beans on thefloor'?" Well, it refers to a silly story during my childhood: When I wasabout 5 years old, I was very stubborn. One day my grandma handed me abowl of breen beans and I was happy eating. However, one bean was droppedon the floor. I asked my grandma to find this ONE bean, but she couldn't.Who knows how far the bean had been rolling? I then cried andcried and cried, insisting on finding this bean. Eventually, my grandmasecretly took one bean from the big pot and shouted, "See, Songhua, I'vefound it!" I believed her and happily ate this one precious bean Which Ithought that attempted to escape me.
That's all about it. Now my grandma is very old, living in a seniorcenter back in hometown. I think I should pay some tribune to her, since Igrew up with her rather than my parents until I graduated from highschool. The idea: I love her as much as I loved the bean on the floor whenI was a kid. So this piece.
Best,
Songhua
