Eh... Church Day...
Hi everyone. It's 6:40 PM CST right now.
Well, I woke up, not sick as much. Yay! So, I spent my morning basically watching TV. Then, it was time for Viet Ngu. I got a 100 on my test! But my next test is about Vietnamese folklore, history, and geography! (You see, we've only been learning how to speak and read the Vietnamese language...) Sigh...
Did you know that in one Vietnamese folklore, Vietnamese people are descendants of dragons and fairies! That'd be so cool if it were true... (That's the one I have my test on...)
Church was good. Before that, we saw two church movies. I kept dazing off... After church, Father made us stay in church because someone made a bad offering to God. (You know the time when you put in the money? Someone wrote bad things and put it in.) We spent about 15 minutes after church asking for forgiveness. They still want to find the culprit...
Hey, since I'm learning about Asian folklore, here are some key differences on some holidays. They're pretty much the same if you look at them. ^^
