Tonight, all of my students are having a big celebration down by the lake before I leave. Unfortunately, it is at the same time as another event: a planning meeting for the big June 1 "Birthday" shindig for the Chinese Communist Party. I got this apologetic email from a student today and had to chuckle at all the "partying" going on around here.
