Hello everyone! Almost half of the spring semester has gone by. Assignments, papers, and midterms sure must worry you at this point of time, doesn't it? In order to help you relief all the burdens of school, let's recall what we did during the first half of this semester.
To begin with, we held a Chinese New Year event that also included our annual Welcome Back Party to celebrate our Chinese culture as well as to welcome our new Malaysian friends to the University of Iowa.
We started the event with yee-sang (鱼生). In Malaysia, eating yee-sang during Chinese New Year is a must. After having yee-sang, we had our lunch that was prepared by our MSSUI members themselves. We also gave the chance to our new friends to introduce themselves and mingled around with each other.
We also went outside for games! We were divided into four teams and had balloons tied to our ankles. The goal of the game was to pop the other team's balloon while guarding our own balloons. Sounds interesting doesn't it? It really was.
We wrapped up the event by announcing the winners and thanked each other for preparing such tasty food for lunch.
Two weeks after that, we went to Sundown Mountain Resort for skiing and snowboarding. The weather was perfect and we had so much fun skiing on that day.
Before we forget, this semester, MSSUI is partnering with Delta Gamma for GTKU (Get To Know Us) program. If you haven't heard of GTKU, it is actually a program by the University of Iowa Student Government to create a better environment on campus by giving the chance to students to learn about each other's culture. We had our first meeting with Delta Gamma last two week, and we can't wait for our next collaborating event with Delta Gamma soon!
Stay tuned for more updates!
