I'm off to Beijing tonight with 9 of my classmates. We will be doing a performance there in 2 days and hopefully resting a lot too. Though I'm looking forward to a change, it sucks doing these kinds of things because there is always some modern wushu choreographer who wants to change everything we do. Ours arrived today and has basically made up an entire form in about 5 minutes with the fo chen for us to learn. The fo chen is the horse hair whisk and is a traditional taoist weapon....that we haven't learned yet. She has included all sorts of weird movements and spinning on tip toes and the worst sort of fluff you can imagine, she even wanted us to do aerials and front flip stuff but we're not a performance team and most of us can't do that stuff very well. uhhhh. Very annoying.

At least we get to go to Beijing, I just hope there's time to relax too.
