the horror. my parents wont let me go to the chalet. unless there is assurance that chaperones (plural) will be there to take care of us. this is not good. I agree with them, that maybe it isnt safe to have 30-plus kids running around (not that we're unable to look after ourselves). some people said to tell my parents that Mr. Zhang will be there, but I already did, and they said that one guy taking care of everyone is not enough. of course, I know we are perfectly capable of ensuring our own safety, but I suppose my parents are right about the chaperoning bit. aah, what to do, I might not be able to attend the chalet after all! and it will be quite upsetting (for both my friends and I), because I was kinda looking forward to spending some time with my class... argh. I hope I can convince my parents to let me go, although the odds are against me.
