Recently the weather in Taipei has been quite cold and rainy, and I think I’m the only person who’s enjoying it. I often feel I will soon miss the variety of weather we’ve enjoyed here (well, maybe not everyone else), but I will be happy to escape the heat of summer. Unfortunately I think I’ve […]
I haven’t been able to sleep. Usually, I’ll be in bed by around midnight, but lay awake until around 4. Around 4, I’ll get angry and try to do breathing exercises. This evolves into prayer, which evolves into remembering every embarrassing thing I ever said or did, along with a potent rumination on the things […]
I was planning to do a post in the middle of my trip to the States, but I never made it happen. It was hard to justify being on the computer when my time at home was so limited, and there were so many people to see. Now that I’m back, it’s hard to feel […]
Every day I wake up and tell myself that I will write a new blog post. Then I get home and pass out because my brain is goo from the day’s lessons. Somedays I feel like I have too much to share, and other days I feel like there isn’t enough. Often there are things […]
When I stop to reflect on the past year, I feel a strange sense of loss, and a small but significant amount of gain. I’ve allowed a month to pass since I’ve posted, but honestly, it only feels like one or two weeks. I’ve quickly returned to a sense of routine, waking up like a […]

When I stop to think about it, time is going slow, but then I look back and realize the weeks have slipped by quicker than I could count. What, is it already March? I still feel like we’re in January. […]
I said to myself, “The next post I write will be from my new desk in my new apartment. That way I will show everyone what I have accomplished!” Ha Ha Ha. Words are delicious. I’ve gotten used to eating them. I just moved in a few weeeks ago, and having an apartment is great! But […]
Okay, okay…I’m pretty embarrassed. My last post was on September 11, almost exactly a month ago. I sat down to write a few times, but was hindered by some difficulties that I have encountered in the past few weeks. The weeks, however, have been blowing by faster than I can keep track of, and my […]
Listening to this song while reading this post will enhance the experience: Considering the title of this song is “Gold in Gold out”, it really describes the way I am feeling about money right now. I’m around halfway into my first week of work, and I have to say I have a lot of mixed […]
