So it rains here, and it rains a lot. It was tough getting used to, and it is still strange, to not have sunny blue skies a majority of the year. But, that's change, and you get used to it. What this has taught me is a valuable lesson: Always carry an umbrella. It could be a completely fine, shiny day, when all of the sudden, the clouds gather and decide to have a downpour. Or, it could start out as a rainy morning, take a break for lunch, and then be back with vengeance for the rest of the day. It can really happen at any moment, any where. And that is why I always carry an umbrella.
I know promises have been made, time and again, (especially pertaining to this blog) and I'm sorry that I can never hold onto one. I want to make excuses, but really, there are none that inhibit me from getting online, for at least an hour, and writing a short paragraph about something.
But, as you can see, it has been a real challenge. I talked with my mom last night, and we talked about many things, and at some point the conversation turned to my blog and that while I am here, I have only two jobs: 1. learn Chinese, and 2. write my blog. So, to make job number two more fun, I'm going to do a Vlog. Yep, that's right. Now, instead of just reading my words, you can actually see me! Yay! I have 43 days left, so that means that I am going to cover everything that I have experienced and learned in this year, so be ready for a lot of me! Thanks for reading, A. |
Amberly PittsI've always been fascinated by Asian cultures, so traveling to Taiwan is a dream come true! I like reading, writing, drawing and trying new kinds of foods. I have a rather large family (two brothers and two sisters), but I love them very much! And I love to play sports and sing:) Archives
