Check it out!

I’m posting this largely because I’m excited, but also because I’ve gotten 30 hits to the site since I linked to it on MIT Admission Officer Matt’s blog.

In other news, Mrs. Whittaker let me borrow one of her better brushes (the ones we got turned out to be pretty bad), some rice paper, an ink stick, and an ink stone. Xue also loaned me some liquid ink, which is good, because I couldn’t figure out how to get good ink out of the ink stick. I spent the two hours before decisions came out practicing my 横 (horizontal) stroke. I can mostly end it well, but the beginning of the stroke still gives me problems. Mrs. Whittaker ran off some sheets in Chinese that have an outline of a good stroke with the path of the brush on the inside, so I made a practice sheet of about 40 strokes per page and just traced the stroke over and over again.
