My time in Taiwan is running really short. Tomorrow Becca goes back home and I become the last remaining CIEE student. On Sunday, my parents arrive and although I won't be leaving Taiwan, it will be a departure from the life I've been living here, so I essentially have two days left to wrap things up. I have lots of stories from the past week but as just a taste of what you have to look forward to hearing about, I will let you in on the progress of my to-do list...

A good number of these items have been crossed off in the past week and you will be hearing about them soon! It's been a school-intensive week so I spent more time than I would have liked in my dorm either doing work or procrastinating doing work. But now I have finished all of my finals, papers, presentations, and classes... except one :( due in July. Which is going to ruin me. But for now, I'm going to try and forget about it and enjoy my final moments in Taiwan!
Stay tuned for all the gritty details!!
Can't wait to read of your further adventures.
