Thursday

Thursday was a kind of blah day. I hit the wall that probably everyone hits. It is the wall of “I’ve had fun being in a different place, but now I just kinda want to go home and take a long bubble bath, eat a hamburger, sleep and then teleport myself back to the country I live in.” At least that is the wall I hit. So far the most difficult thing for me is just the difficulty communicating. I really enjoy being in Tainan, but NO ONE speaks English like a native speaker. Even the English teachers don’t always understand me. I have to speak slowly and use small words, which anyone who knows me would know is hard for me! I love using big words!

So I go to work every morning, but there is really nothing for me to do because I have very little information about who and what I will be teaching. I am working on a slideshow about myself and where I come from to show on the first day, but after that, I am not sure what is gonna go on. When I asked my director about it, he basically told me not to worry, that what I was doing would be easy that I didn’t need to stress about it. I said, “Ok.”, but that is hard for me to do. So anyways, around 5ish Melon, came and helped me buy my ticket for the High Speed Rail so that I can go see Alicia! She also took me and showed me around town a little! It was fun and good to be with someone instead of alone! Soon she is going to take me swimming and to the Garden Night Market which is really famous!
