About my seventh week in NCKU

 This week’s Tainan life lasted only three days, and it’s already over. So now I’m trying to figure out how to fit these three days into 600 words 😐 (a big challenge for my blogging career 🤓). Actually, to be precise, my time in Tainan was less than three days. It should be more like two, because I only arrived on Monday afternoon and immediately headed back home right after class on Wednesday. I even thought I was here for a trip to Tainan… 😓😐

Let me start with Monday. Since last week’s 🥳🥳BIRTHDAY WEEK🥳🥳 was a bit too much fun, I had been feeling sleepy since the weekend 😵‍💫💤, and even on Monday, I was still in a half-asleep state. So, ridiculously, as soon as I got on the train, I fell asleep, and when I woke up, I was almost in Tainan already… 😑 I thought that after sleeping for so long, I’d feel refreshed, but after walking back to my dorm for fifteen minutes, I felt sleepy again (I even started to wonder if I could grow three more centimeters from all this sleep). After I got to my dorm, I took another nap for over an hour, then slowly made my way to the volleyball court for PE class. I remember Monday’s weather was great, not too hot or too cold, and I felt good walking to the court 👍🏻. We had our midterm in volleyball class, Winnie and I passed the test on the first try! So we spent the rest of the class chatting 😅, and I also talked a lot with some new friends. It was a really good mood!

Tuesday came. Although I’ve been hating Tuesdays for about half a year, just thinking that I could go home the next day filled me with motivation! Plus, I was really looking forward to a late-night snack time🥰 (an event I was excited about for socializing ✌🏻😀). Let me start with the Spanish class in the afternoon. We have this thing called an IRS remote control, and after we read the articles, we’re supposed to press a button for the answer”1-6”. However, Hannah and I thought Felisa (our Spanish professor) meant we should press “1” to indicate we’ve finished reading the article. As a result, both of us put "1" as the answer for all six questions 😅.
🗣️Felisa: "Why did everyone’s accuracy drop after reading the article?" (I sat there laughing awkwardly, feeling guilty...)
And that was how our slightly ridiculous Spanish class ended. In the afternoon, I accompanied my sick roommate, Kelly, to the doctor and dinner (I basically became her mom in Tainan 🙂‍↕️). Afterward, I started looking forward to the late-night snack time😙😙. Initially, I was supposed to meet with my foreign language camp acting team to eat together (a great way to get to know each other), but when I arrived at 11:30, only my partner and his friends were there, so I ended up having a great time with a group of second-year students! They were so fun, and it was just what I needed because I love meeting new people.

Finally, Wednesday came!!! Even though I stayed up too late chatting on Tuesday night and didn’t sleep until 3 a.m., I still woke up full of energy because I could go home today! The morning presentation in my speaking class was by my good friend Anita, but since there were only a few people in class, no one really asked her questions. I had some questions though, so I asked two of them :) I spoke a lot in class, probably because I was in a great mood 🤓. Later, in the literature class, many people skipped and went home, so the classroom was pretty empty. The professor probably called out everyone’s name in the class before someone answered 😐 (so of course, I got called on 😑). After class, I happily rushed back home, and the three days in Tainan came to a close. On the way back to Taichung, I slept the whole way—so comfortable!

I really enjoyed this week (well, actually, just these three days)—happy to go to school, and even happier to play and hang out with friends.
