Spring in Kyrgyzstan

Spring is my favourite season in Kyrgyzstan. Everything turns so green and lovely, and the hills and grass and trees bring me great joy. Especially coming after winter, spring brings with it delight. Among other things, I love the thought that I have 8 months or so before I need to worry about slipping on ice. I really hate ice. If you ask me what I hate the most about Kyrgyzstan, ice is probably number one, followed by dirt and potholes. If you ask me what I love, besides people, I think the mountains and in general the countryside in spring would be number one.

Murder Mystery Night

Introducing Jacquelyn Justice, the wife of Senator Justice of Nevada. The high schoolers here had a murder mystery night recently, which I was privileged to be a part of. It was a lot of fun, and not only did I correctly guess the murderer (by fluke), I was also awarded the best acting award for my portrayal of a posh, snooty senator's wife. Notice the bling I'm wearing: borrowed from a middle school girl! =p Senator Justice conducted himself well, though it was a pity about the beanie he insisted on wearing.

Korean Hip Hop

This photo is of me and a student who had spiked his hair quite impressively for a Korean hip hop performance during the intermission of our school musical. He was also a member of the stage crew, so it was very amusing seeing that hair silhouetted during the second half of the musical.
