Represent the big O.K.

After four years of college I think I finally have the science of presentations imprinted in my brain. Today was the day that I gave my presentation on Oklahoma. The weird thing is that I can’t say I was nervous or did I stumble at all. Representing Oklahoma is fun, and the best part is that no one can prove me wrong cause apparently I am some kind of ‘expert’ on Oklahoma. I totally over-played the Native American and Cowboy cultures though and I think that everyone in China now thinks that Oklahomans are either cowboys or Indians.

All this time I had been thinking that my presentation wasn’t going to be what they expected – but apparently there were no expectations set. I was the second one to present and it lasted for about 20 minutes of Oklahoma – who knew that our state was so cool! They were amazed that Tulsa, Oklahoma is such a diverse and global place. Also, that we teach Chinese! All the delegates and the foreign affairs office were surprise to know that I had learned Chinese in middle school and that we have a sister city and that we love China! Oh, and apparently our Census is really hard to understand when it comes to ‘race.’ A lot of folks were confused when I presented about demographics.

Other cool things going on:
1. We had a kung fu class the other day. Master Meng was great and so graceful! So watch out cause I can now bust a head open with my first, karate chop, and do a really cool serpent pose.
2. I have decided to learn Swedish. Helena and Theres are really good teachers! I can say the days of the week and introduce myself. Also, I will probably be learning the “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes” song in Swedish (I will then know it six languages)!
3. I miss guacamole!
