I almost missed the deadline! Phew.
It just occurred to me yesterday that I am going home it two and a half months. My subconscious is blissfully unaware that I am not going to be here forever. I haven't told it yet. No need to traumatize it at this point.
Went to the Red Cross last night with my "host mother" a lovely Taiwanese woman who I will be staying with this weekend. I believe going to the hot springs is on the agenda. I spoke Chinese the entire time, and my head didn't hurt. I made some mistakes, but I can understand about 85-90% of everyday conversation and respond appropriately. Oh, language proficiency. How lovely you are!
And now, class! (It's noon my time.)
See you Thursday.
