My first chop
I think I did pretty well, with only two big mistakes. And since it was my first attempt at carving (I've carved wood before, and I've engraved metal, but never stone), I was happy with it. It says "平安" píng ān (peace). 張老師 carved the date, and my name on the front of it. It's SO cool! (Btw, the stone itself is a lot prettier than it seems. It's red and white (not brown), but didn't photograph well... It's weird though, my stone's character was written differently than the one everyone else had.
Next week we're going to carve a chop with our names on it. I'm SUPER excited for that. I've wanted my own name chop since I first heard about them.
I've decided that once I go back home I'm going to try to study Chinese painting. I love Chinese cultural stuff. I wish I could have taken every single culture class.
So tomorrow; CLASS, Cat Cafe, studying, possible drunken KTV, and then some sleep.
Wha? Apparently there's a Chinese school in New Hampshire (close to my home) that teaches culture classes! AWESOME.
