10 days to go

Yo.

How are you guys? Good, I hope.

As the title suggests (?) I have 10 days left. Two of those are dedicated to Quentin (he leaves in 24 hours or so), one to my friend Jasmine from Canada (she leaves the day after Quentin) and then it’s my turn. I’ve already said goodbye to seven friends. After these next two, I’m finally done. I can relax a little more and focus on what I wanna do for myself (shopping and pictures mostly). This whole last month as been dedicated to the friends who have left. Very sad month indeed… The first week of the Leaving Season was a particularly difficult one. I literally cried every tear I had in my body. I haven’t really cried until two or days ago.
Today my German sister Nora left. I cried a lot today. >.> But let’s not get into details.

So! Some news:

-Me and Quentin are moving in together again in a couple hours (he’s still packing). It’s 1024 at night, I’m absolutely exhausted after crying so much after having a lack of sleep for one month. Oh well. Quentin and I have a million things to talk about so we’re gonna be up all night. Tonight’s his second to last night in TW. :\

Oh, and we’re moving to Taoyuan, this desolate city one hour outside of TP. ><* Don’t get me started on this. I wasn’t suppose to leave this house and the two conflicting excuses they’ve given me didn’t check out, but that’s rotary for you. >.> Moving on…

-Nora leaves in 30 min….. :_(((((

-Like I said, after these next 3 days, I’m the next one to go. I’m leaving behind 3 good friends and one okay friend, two Americans and two Canadians. Everyone else will already be home.

-Rotary told Miguel he was being forced to leave TW 5 hours before his plane took off. LONG fucking story. I hate Rotary with all my heart now.

-Miguel, Ju, and Manon are all loving it back home. Boyce isn’t and since she and I have a similar life background, I have a feeling I won’t either (although she’s at my stage a few years ago, I’m almost done with “The Game.”)

-I want to go home for obvious reasons: I can’t stand the essence of Taiwan, normality, my own culture, FOOD, my sister, I’m going to Florida, rest, start college. I don’t want to go home because: my exchange friends aren’t there, I finally accepted and fully realized that 97% of my friends suck, I don’t want to deal with family problems, I don’t have my fandom anymore (or whatever) so I essentially am going back to nearly nothing (a couple of good friends and that’s it) (although I’m kinda, in a good way anticipating a new start), I’ll miss my host mom and Taiwanese food, I’m gonna miss Jacky and Justin and Julie and Smilly (my classmates) and I’m saddened that our relationships did not get to the point I worked hard to get them to, now that I don’t belong in TW, I’m back to square one of finding somewhere to belong, etc.

-I went to an anthropology conference. It was… special. Good and bad. Details later.

-Chinese… what more can I say about it?

-I volunteered at an orphanage type place that’s a school for mentally handicapped children. Great experience.

-Uh… that’s all for now I guess… I’m still waiting for Quentin to hurry the hell up.

Have a good one!
