With all the essay-writing going on in my life and catching up I've had to do, I forgot to post about the Chinese New Year yesterday. So here's a recap of the library program I did last year, during the year of the pig.
Check out the gorgeous display that our artistic librarian made!
True/False test on Asian culture! The girl on the right holds the Ringer of Truth with Shape and Noise: a circle and a heart-lifting ping for correct, an "X" and a not-so-graceful "waah" for incorrect. People love the ringer, courtesy of a Toys 'R Us in Japan.

Maybe next year I can do something even better. For now, though, happy year of the rat, everyone! If you're interested in seeing pictures of this year's festivities, view some here.
Now off to finish Capstone. More on this hellish pre-graduation tradition later.
