Emily and I seem to be home here in Taiwan. I found an olympic-size swimming pool not far from our house that I can use for about $2.65 USD, we bought a few plants for our back porch, and signs of peace and contentment that come to us when we are in God’s plan seem to be springing up a lot lately!
We went to Ikea the other day and bought a few lamps. Emily got a little one for her desk and I found one of those cool, swivel/adjustable ones that engineers and architects always have mounted on their desks in the movies. Its awesome!!!….its also awesome that I find my lamp awesome. Emily also found a great deal on a dining room table on Tealit. We bought it from another foreigner who was leaving Taiwan.
Emily is really good at making our house a home, as cliche as that is. Me and the roommates are always marvelling at how the apartment has changed for the better as the weeks go by. On that note our roommate and friend, Sunny (the french girl), is leaving to head back to France next week. Hopefully we’ll be able to fill her room quickly with someone wonderful.
As you can see I got my booty in gear and started making movies for this blog. The Welcome to Freshman/Halloween Party one is up and I just added a new video. Drum roll please….you can now experience a Taiwan scooter ride from the comfort of your own home, just click over to the VIDEOS page. Don’t worry, the video camera can’t capture the fine details of the ride. You know what I mean…the danger danger Will Robinson. Its safe to watch even if you do fear death. If you want the full effect you’ll have to come for a real visit and then we’ll see what you can handle.
My management midterm came and went. I think I did okay and I’m definitely happy its over. Now I need to gear up this week for midterms in Classical Mythology, Law, Statistics, and an informative speech for speech class. I think I’m going to be okay. I got my stats quiz back and found that my studying paid off. I’m so happy to be in a math class where I feel like I understand something practical related to the subject and not just blind memorization of theorems that I have no idea why work. Thank goodness I don’t have to take Calc again!
Today Emily and I went to a small church called New Hope Christian Fellowship. I’ve linked them to our blog in the links section and we’ve mentioned it before. It was nice. They have bi-lingual services so someone says a sentence in one language (English or Chinese) and then its translated into the other language. If its a song they sing a verse in one, and then again in the other. They had some food after the service and we stayed for the first class in a twelve week Bible study on Ezekial that a dude who used to teach at some seminary in Pennsylvania is giving. It was good and I’m excited to go again!
