This is the general plan.

I'm heading to Taiwan. You know, that pretty big bomb ass island to the east of China. yeahhh that one. Please note it is the Republic of China NOT The People's Republic of China. I'm not gonna get into it though.

Why Taiwan/Chinese/Asia?
I heart Chinese. I want to be fluent more than anything right now. I have to be immersed. I want to dream in Chinese again. I started watching Taiwanese dramas 2 years ago. East Asian Popular culture intrigues me to no end. Hence my SMP. Anyways I decided i was going somehow.

What are you gonna do there?
-I'll be in the Mandarin Training Center @ National Taiwan Normal University
-Being Awesome
-Eating Good Food

So I am deferring enrollment til the Winter quarter which starts Dec 1. I'll be looking to leave here end of Sept/beg. of October. Coming Back the end of May 09'...maybe. So for now i am studying for the GRE, apartment searching, and cheap airplane searching.

Also I realized I am going to a foreign country ALONE AGAIN. No one is going to help me find housing and settle in. Everything would be so much easier if someone was coming with me. hint hint ZHONG. sigh::: apartment searching a bajillion miles away is lame.

At least I'm blowing this joint known as America. right?
