[Skogar]

yes! yeah, just doing hobbies i missed out on when busy. reading, working out, cooking.

ill also be in taiwan! i hope to get into a school asap, then taiwan for 4-5 months before schools starts. crossing my fingers!

 

[Skogar]

schen - do you have family or friends there? im hoping to live in taipei and hang out with a few friends i actually met in the US... would appreciate another english speaker to explore the city with! let me know.... (parents are taiwanese... chinese is not as good as my english)

 

[Polo10]

staying drunk and trying not to stress out over all of this. It's out of my hands now anyway... for a while at least.

hey, yeah i have relatives spread out over taiwan including taipei. sure, im down to hang out and explore together, that sounds really fun. i'll probably be heading there next summer though (before i hopefully matriculate into dental school) as i'll be taking classes during the year and i figure interviews will be taking place at random times year round too

when are u going to spend ur 4 months there?

 

[redchesus]

Working full time (lab tech job, funnily enough) and taking Spanish on the side (I found out it's really necessary if you're volunteering in a public clinic)

planning on traveling in Asia for 2+ months late next spring after I find out where I'll be attending. SHOULD I TRAVEL TO TAIWAN AND HANG OUT WITH YOU GUYS?!?! LOL!

 

[schen140]

haha definitely u should. where else in asia are you planning to go? i want to go to korea, get some face surgery, come out looking like a pop star haha

 

[Skogar]

lol redchesus, you're definitely welcome. i hope to be there after all my interviews? so maybe somewhere around feb, tentatively. ill then stay til the end of july probably and then come back to the states to start school. nothing is set in stone yet, but yeah, i hope to get my own place in taipei but most of my family lives in a different town. i go to a predominently white university but i randomly made friends with a few international students and they party pretty hard in tai pei. i went to the bars with them one time and it was 16 dollar cover (US) but it was all you can drink... drank bombay sapphires til 5 in the morning. ridiculous.

 

[Habbas]

Going into senior year, finishing classes doing my thesis

retaking physics I

and if i get in god willing, the summer that follows will be the best ever

lol i think times are changing. seems like everyone is partying hard now even in the asian countries. im regretful to say that i wont be the best drinking buddy (i try to stay away from alcohol), but i'll definitely sing my heart out in the ktv's that taiwan is known for
