Second week here at Tamkang, and we're full steam ahead into classes now. My language skills are slightly improving, but people still talk too fast for me to understand. I get held up on the first few words thinking, "alright, so this means that and that means this", and then I miss the rest of what was said. Class is slightly easier now that I' ( Read more... )

Third day in Taiwan, more specifically the Tamkung university at Tamsui. This place is pretty nice, and in some ways better than Uconn.

Things are going pretty good here, schoolwise I should probably be putting forth a hell of a lot more effort.  But eh, I'm getting by right now, I've finally gotten back the motivation for working out so that's my main focus right now.

Starting up tae kwan do in addition to capoeira now, it isn't really that much of a time commitment since it's ( Read more... )

Weeeeelllll, been over a month since I've last updated. Here at school, and boy aren't we having fun. Last night, no pretty much all of yesterday in general sucked balls.
