But life ain't so bad you know...
Finally I have time in my room when it is quiet and I have free time... although, I should probably be asleep as I have to be at the bus at 6:30 in the morning. But then on the bus, I don't really need to be awake and can just sleep, but maybe the place we are going isn't that far away, and I would want to be awake for that. We're going to a glass museum. I wonder if it is glass art, or like how people make glass, or what. Well, I just hope it's interesting. (I think I sound like my roommate there, I don't say things like that normally... and I think she says things like that).
Tomorrow we leave for the graduation trip... How odd it is to be done. We had a survey thing today and I was just like "the teachers did not teach some of the categories of classes, 7 hours is too long and we lose focus which is ineffective" We were supposed to have "Taiwan Today" which I assume is like culture of Taiwan today... but we never had that, except for night class... in which we talked about night markets. Yes, an important part of Taiwanese culture, but not the only thing... and we didn't speak that much. I also feel teaching us how to buy shoes or register for school... well, that's only useful if you decide you want to live here. I'd rather have things that I can use in conversation with people because I don't have plans to live here... so. I assume if any of us do have plans, we won't come back to live here for several years since we're college students. I don't remember what we learned with our other teacher, which also makes it quite useless. Although, I guess I could explain to someone about the end of Chinese New Year now... or directions in Chinese if someone ever needed directions in Chinese in the States...
But while we were having our graduation ceremony, the fudaoyuan (the counselors) had made a video of our pictures, and it made me a little sad to think I'm about to leave friends behind. So I guess I have more emotions attached to my friendships/acquaintanceships than I thought I did. I just know I'm horrible at keeping contact with people when I'm not around them... And my roommate will be especially hard since she doesn't check her email often.. and I'd have to send mail to France! I did buy cute stationary while here though... so maybe I'll write more letters once I get back to school.
I realized that I bought a lot of those little capsule with the cute little things from the machines (gashapon!) last year that come with cute little things... and I don't know what happened to them at all, except for one which I mailed to someone. Wow. I realized this while I was buying some from a store today. A cute mirror/comb sugarbunny thing, shaun the sheep cellphone danglies (I'm not quite sure what I will do with it yet since my cellphone doesn't have a space for it), and a little fake food kit thing. I remember buying a fake food kit thingie last year, and now I have no idea what I would have done with it. Opps. I'll have to look when I get back. From those machines... I also bought a whole set of this cute bedroom set (the things have faces!) that I plan to place on my desk at school. I'm being very good about buying what I plan to use only, I hope, and not just "oh, it's cute and so cheap!".
While I sleep my weekends away, I suck at sleeping during the weekdays. I like staying up, but then I guess on the weekends it catches up to me. Opps! And then my aunt is too afraid to wake me up and I'm like "I think I'm sleeping too much!" so I guess I'll try to get her to wake me up so I won't just fall back asleep and then finally decide to get up at 11:30. This weekend I get to go to the zoo and eat at a restaurant at yangmingsan. The restaurant is outdoors so apparently I can look over at the city while eating! Yay! Then my next week will be lots of museums, hopefully. If I figure out which one I want to go to. I want to go see a Pixar exhibition at the fine arts museum! And maybe go to the 101!
