In the Blink of an Eye.


So.

Can you believe it's been 6 months already?
Me neither.
Being at the halfway point is both invigorating and depressing.
It's invigorating, because I'm halfway done. Can you imagine? 6 whole months already! It went by WAY too fast. I've done so many things, and made so many friends, and I can't wait to see what else can possibly happen while I'm here.
It's depressing, because I feel like I still know nothing. I know nothing about teaching, about Taiwan, about Chinese, about anything. Is there even any way I can learn all I want to and need to in the next six months? If I'm being optimistic, I would say there's a slight chance that 20% of the knowledge I want to gain will stick with me.
So, I'm just going to stick with optimism.

These next 6 months will fly by.
Dangit.
