Hershey is making Chinese New Year chocolates! The reason is that we have a large Chinese population in the area. I am Chinese Jamaican myself. I googled the exact date of Chinese New Year and that would be January 31, 2014 this year.
This Thursday morning, I took son K to school for an 8am class. Well it turns out the class was booked at another campus! The morning became a panic as we tried to resolve timetable issues at the start of the semester. We sat on this timetable over the holidays complacent that everything was in order, we never checked the room number on the timetable. Luckily the deadline for making changes was the next day Friday at 5pm. Needless to say, we have learned a lesson, we have to check things very carefully! K is still new at the school and the room numbers at this point don't raise alarm bells. Did I mention it was a critical course and we had to change 5 of his 8 courses around to make it all work? Then a better time for the critical course came up and we tried to move everything closer back to the original schedule. We first went through their extremely busy advisement helpline and got in the queue until we finally figured out how to do it all ourselves. I think the helpline got us into this problem in the first place (no blaming, just a fact). We will chalk it down to a learning experience, hopefully we are fine now.

I believe I was born in the year of the Dog. I bought a dog pendant in Macau back in 2010. It is lovely with gold and diamonds. As for K, I am glad you got everything sorted.
Glad that the course schedule situation worked out! Good thing you all beat that deadline!
wow, that was an upsetting close call, I'm so glad it all worked out. I have often wondered what the blogging friends look like that I have who never have posted photos, now I will create your image in my mind, you are a beautiful combination of Nationalities, the chocolates sound a wonderful idea, I never heard of that before,
Chocolates are always a wonderful way to celebrate! And i'm glad you got K's classes straightened out!
You can never go wrong with chocolates no matter the occasion!
I love these chocolates:)
I've never heard of Chinese chocolates, but you've sold me. What a lot of fun!
Chocolates are my weakness. I can't get enough.
Sorry about the class mix-up but glad you were able to get it resolved.
Happy New Year. jj
