High school accused of sex assault cover-up

Parents of a female student yesterday visited Wanfang High School and criticized the school for an attempt cover up of their daughter's sexual assault case.
Last December, the victim was severely beaten by one of her classmates, surnamed Hsu. She received a concussion and spinal cord and neck injuries. Wanfang High School attempted to resolve the incident with the two parties outside the court. However, because the female student's parents felt that Hsu's family lacked sincerity, they reported the situation to the poice.
When being interrogated, the victim originally described how Hsu physically abused her. Further questioning by the police revealed that Hsu is suspected to have sexually assaulted the victim and taken nude photographs of the victim.
The police immediately sent the victim for checkups and listed Hsu as the suspect. When the police attempted to establich contact with Hsu, his parents told them that he is currently studying abroad. The police is currently attempting to issue a subpoena to summon Hsu back to Taiwan for questioning.
According to the police, Hsu and the victim were in a relationship. Last May, Hsu forced the female student on top of the activities building in Wanfang High School, sexually assaulted her, and took lewd pictures of the victim.
According to the victim, Hsu later threatened her several times with the pictures and forced her to have sexual relationships with him. The victim also claimed that Hsu beat her on several occasions.
Wu Ching-chi of the Education Department of Taipei City expressed regret and shame to the consecutive campus scandals recently. He stated that the failure to execute a successful gender education is the cause of the latest events. Wu stated that the department will not attempt to cover up the scandal and will deliver punishments to the faulty and staff of Wanfang High School for their misconduct.

Anyway, that answers the questions about what's been up at my school recently. Good old English newspapers. Some of the grammatical errors & the typo of "Hus" are straight from the print of the original article.

Yesterday's concert was, well, random. The first song, "I Zombie," turned out rather well, and we put on a better show than the guys before us who did a metal song, just as planned. Unfortunately, too many things went wrong with "Welcome to Planet Motherfucker" though it still turned out 'ok' it was by no means good. (Note to self: next time insist on monitor speakers)

Scott informed me last night that he's had enough of Amy & requested an early move. So, I will be heading to the Zhang residence earlier than expected (they saved the best for last). The move is now to take place on the 16th, which leaves me 3 months less a day at that house. Needless to say, someone needs to get packing. On that day is also the annual district conference, which it thus appears Scott, Claire & I will be lucky enough not to attend. w00t.

Directly following said day, the "round taiwan tour" (or T-tour as we continue to call it) begins. I hope the arrangements for who is with whom work out well, and that I get a little bit of sleep before that. It should be pretty good though. Somewhere in there will mark 8 months as well (*sigh*). If I haven't said it before, I always hate it when another month passes, because I have to add another month to how long I say I've been in Taiwan.

Lately, though, people keep mishearing me. They say [trans.] "how long have you been in Taiwan?" I reply, "7 months," to which the usual response is "7 years." "No, 7 months," I say again. Now, this may be a bad sign for my pronunciation, but this guy asked me yesterday "How many years have you been in Taiwan?" so I suppose my Chinese must be getting better, a bit. I still get frustrated when people tell other people to speak English to me (& in that case I will grab them by the shoulders and shake them).

This morning, some douchebag came into our class & gave us a random lecture. Somehow, we the students are supposed to study up and work harder, when it is the faculty & staff who are under investigation, threatened with disciplinary action. Go to hell. All I do when he left was cough, "douchebag!" really loud, though other people were to describe him as baichi (白痴　idiot)... I am still weak on finding the perfect insult--my vocabulary can't handle it right now. Speaking of insults, have you guys ever seen 'the flame to end all flames' (a.k.a. "The Perfect Flame")?

That's all for now, rock on. And post comments, if such should be your bent. [45 minutes] K out
