Well it's one month until I leave for Taiwan.

It's starting to hit me now. I have yet to get my shots (I'm going this Tuesda) and then it's just a matter of waiting. As the date gets closer I realize that soon I will be living on my own in a foreign country where I won't speak the language.

I picked up some language tapes from the library to see if I could try to get some Mandarin under my belt before I got there. The other night I tried listening to them as I slept, because supposedly that helps. But I woke up after half an hour and confused the fuck out of myself. I couldn't figure out why I was listening to chinese, and further more what tape or CD did I have that had chinese on it? After about 10 seconds it dawned on me, and I felt like an absolute idiot.
