I suck

I apologize for my lack of attention to this blog! I was counting on being better at updating it, but lately I've just been so busy trying to settle in in my new school. This semester is already panning out to be fairly busy, but I'm glad I'll have some more variety here. My classes only meet once a week, so I only have class Monday-Wednesday. And to fill in the rest of my time, I've signed up to teach English at a rural primary school in HK on Thursdays! I'm also planning several trips already...like Taiwan for Chinese New Year!! Jenny and I are going to show our friends around since we talk so much about Taiwan and how much we love it.

Basically, I arrived here on the 30th with my mom and sister, and we spent a fun week exploring the island and mainland, and eating LOTS of awesome dim sum!! It was so nice to have them there to help me move in. My room already feels much more homey than my room in Denmark. Though there are ups and downs for each place, but I'm not complaining! I actually have a prime location in my flat with 8 masters/PhD students. I am not on the hallway of rooms, instead my room is in a corner of the flat with a half bath, so I consider it a super suite! Seven of my roomies are from the mainland, and one is an older PhD student from Taiwan. She's helped me out so much, and I feel lucky to have so much help here!

I've mostly been busy with getting everything I need here, books, etc. And catching up on homework, there's not too much yet, but I am definitely behind. I don't know where the time goes!!! On that note, I'm going to get working on cover letters due this week...

Sorry again for the randomness!

Anyway, the three girls spent
