i landed friday morning, dropped by my workplace to ask about paperwork, and they got me started right away. which means i begin work monday (tomorrow. ): ). The hours are supposedly 9-6 because that's how long the people stay. being as it is research, i think that those hours are completely optional. a lot of taiwanese stay at their workplace even when there is nothing to do just to seem more hardworking. hopefully, they will allow me to be flexible enough as to come and go as is only necessary.
weather:
humid, rainy. it's about 90 degrees (for all 24 hours), which feels like about 100 with the humidity. even when its dark and rainy, its probably still 90 degrees, so looking out the window in the morning won't tell you anything about what it actually feels like outside.
sights seen:
nice firetrucks...
not KFC, but...
i read somewhere that it stands for "kuai le gi" which translates into "happy chicken" lol...
and last of all...bslee's twin sister.
prayer requests:
1. safety. living alone for the first week in an empty apartment. kinda creepy. (and no internet). by the way, i live an hours worth of transportation away from NTU and EBCT. not comfortable with public transportation, nor with surroundings. and no time to figure it out because work begins tomorrow.
2. work flexibility. ambiguous right now, as mentioned above. hopefully i will have enough time so as to go over to NTU during weekdays as well.
3. FOCUS. remember the reason i am here.
i'm in the process of figuring out exactly what i should post here and what i should post on my own blog/email updates. email me if you would like to be on my update list (that is, if i decide to email updates. hah)
