So, I've been meaning to update for nearly a month and half now. I've been swamped by classes, schoolwork, and just life in general - like visiting my old students at Guting (they all got so big in less than three months!), seeing my old host family from Luodong, running/hiking/eating/just enjoying Taipei. Of course, overall, I feel like my life has fallen into a very basic pattern: study, eat, class, eat, study, class, study, run, study, sleep. Repeat.
It's not really as monotonous as it sounds though. We go through coursework so quickly that the subjects are constantly changing, and with three different "subjects" over the course of four classes (Modern Chinese Conversation, Practical Audio Visual Chinese, and Moral Chinese Tales) I hardly get bored. And Taipei is the last place anyone would ever get tired of the food. Over the last week, I've had Nepalese, Middle Eastern, Korean, Thai, and, of course, Taiwanese cuisine. Not to brag or anything...
