*rises from the dead*
I LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!
Holy shitake mushrooms. I have been gone for...how long now? X___X Just finished checking up on everyone's sites...
I've been in Taiwan for almost five weeks now, and I'm leaving next Saturday. =( My summer's almost ooveerrrr.....I took a month-long Chinese class in July, which was very annoying cuz the teacher didn't know how to speak clearly, didn't know how to control the class, and my classmates were all 10-13-year-olds who either 1) would never talk to you, or 2) thought it was "cool" to swear, laugh at people, and talk about sex literally 24/7. -____- Sooo irritating. At least the girl who sat next to me was only a year younger than me and kind of nice. But it's over now, thank goodness...
Now I'm in a java computer programming class that my mom made me take. IT MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE TO ME WHATSOEVER. I even looked at the English tutorials and everything but still don't get it. And to think my mom has a PhD in computer science...To me, it makes no sense at all. I'm totally gonna fail this class...TT_TT
Taiwan hasn't been all bad though. I was able to get together with some old friends from last time I came here, as well as other friends who came back to Taiwan during summer vacation also. I got to see all of my family here and hang out with all of them all the time. =)
PLUS since everything is SUPER cheap here, I'm buying thing like crazy. My mom's already given me a big list of things to bring back to the US. Other than that I've gotten shirts and shorts for US$5 each, long pants, necklaces, rings, earrings, books, and TOONNNSS of little cute stationary stuff to give as gifts back home. Among my weekly allowance and English and Spanish tutoring (my mom's friend's kids - one wants to practice English and the other wants to learn Spanish), I'll have probably received US$700, but I'm going back home with only like $200 to spare cuz I keep buying things and going out to eat (which is actually SUPER cheap here compared to the US). Oops. .____.
Hope everyone is having a great summer also!!!
Luvs and hugs,
