wild on formosa. yes, it's true, we are now going to taiwan. found out yesterday. for a while there, i was convinced we weren't going, so new year's was all doodah and no plans but miraculously our return tickets came through (back the eighth of jan) and now we are off to see the wizard next thursday. what does this mean? this means i have tons of little errands to take care of that i have terribly procrastinated on because i figured i would have weeks to do them. it also means i'll be missing the first few days of class. no biggie.



what i'm looking forward to after ten plus years away from my homeland. the food. that's it. the food. i'm ready to eat eat and eat some more. the shopping, the clubbing, the singing, the short people, that'll be cool too. but mainly, i'm all about the food. i'm also excited to see all the relatives that i haven't seen in a long time too.



but twelve days is a long time to be away. and honestly, i kind of want to just chill and veg out but rome wasn't built in a day and my life isn't terribly exciting so to not go to taiwan after all this trouble would straddle the border between idiotic and spoiled. so off i go. time to pack, burn CDs, make big lists of things i should do before i go, say happy new year to all, and clean clean clean.
