Michelle (douglass) Black here!!! It's been a while since I've seen any of you, and since I love to find out about what all of you sre doing these days, I thought I'd up-date you all on what I'm doing these days... Jake (my husband) just graduated from school in April, and is doing really well with his writing career. I'm majoring in dance education- I have two years left of that... just taking my time... for reasons I'll explain in a minute. I'm also working at the Missionary Training Center in Provo as a materials specialist in the LRC. I'm not a linguist, but they have me reviewing all the language textbooks and dictionaries to decipher whether or not they are the best materials out there for the missionaries' needs. I tell ya... I'm learning tons.
K, so the reason I extended my graduation is because I had an amazing chance to do a dance study abroad in China this past Spring. I had to take advantage of it. Because I went there, I had to push back some classes, and I can only do student teaching in winter... so I had to extend an entire year more before I'm done. But that's cool, because I went to CHINA!!! I got to study Chinese calligraphy, folk music, culture (we went to a lot of cool sights... like the Great Wall, Buddhist temples, the Summer Palace, etc), tai chi, Tibetan dance, Korean dance, Classical Chinese dance, and martial arts. It was one of the neatest experiences of my life. Definately a landmark for me. I'd love to hear from you all personally. My email address hasn't changed since Western, but here it is again anyway: corcolette@yahoo.com. luv ya'll!
