tomorrow is...

buddha purnima!  pretty much the New Year for Buddhists, celebrating the birth of Buddha.  one of the other teachers had her class make traditional lanterns that are usually lit up and let into the night sky - so we will have a few to decorate our building tomorrow. 

hopefully it'll help keep the girls' spirits up - it's midterm week - and tomorrow they get the day off.  as they have said...."it's not really a day off, since we have to study all day"
