• It's been pretty busy here lately
• I've been here for 9 weeks
• The campus has dogs. Lots of them. And the dogs form gangs. And the gangs roam the streets/sidewalks looking for loner dogs or dogs of another gang to beat up. I was walking to class when the Brown Gang beat up on Rogue and there was a show down on the steps of the Administrative Building (yes, we have a lot of time on our hands and have been studying the dynamics/politics of the dog gangs)
  
• I got stuck inside of a watermelon slice (made out of cardboard) on Saturday
• I got told that I don't speak English following a 5-7 min presentation I gave in English in class on Friday
  
• I keep making friends & will have quite a lot of buddies/stalkers if I'm not careful

• There was an earthquake on Thursday

• I've been having a hard time with the wooden chopsticks lately...I keep getting splinters
• I got to hear Ander sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to me via Skype
• I scared Cole by telling him that in Taiwan people don't really celebrate Christmas...it took me a while to rebuild the myth of Santa. Never fear, Santa goes everywhere and the good little boys and girls of Taiwan will get toys!
• I am getting a haircut on Monday and would like to come out with hair while still looking decently good
