Jane's Pocket Change: Happy Lunar New Year
Today, Thursday, February 19 heralds the beginning of the Chinese New Year, the Year of the Goat. Here at CSW we wish all our students and their families from China, and other countries who celebrate at this time, a year of good fortune, and we acknowledge how hard it must be to be away from your families at such an important time.

People born in a year of the Goat are generally believed to be gentle mild-mannered, shy, stable, sympathetic, amicable, and brimming with a strong sense of kindheartedness and justice.
They have very delicate thoughts, strong creativity, and perseverance, and acquire professional skills well. Although they look gentle on the surface, they are tough on the inside, always insisting on their own opinions in their minds. They have strong inner resilience and excellent defensive instincts.
Though they prefer to be in groups, they do not want to be the center of attention. They are reserved and quiet, most likely because they like spending much time in their thoughts. Goats like to spend money on fashionable things that give them a first class appearance. Although goats enjoy spending money on the finer things in life, they are not snobbish.
