Things that have happened since my last post?
Well first off, I forgot to mention that I sold my car. My beautiful bright red Mazda3 will have a new person to call its owner soon. I sold it to the Toyota dealership in San Marcos. They took it for $10,500 when Carmax was only going to give me like $9,000. I made a profit from it! That's all that really matters! Now I have money to fall back on in Taiwan if I need it. Previously, I was about to head over there with only $30 to my name! So I feel a lot better now that I'm more financially stable.
Hmmmm... I also got my loan deferment!!! So now I won't have to worry about paying that off while I'm trying to live on the stipend they are going to be giving us while we teach.
I wanted to share some of the AWESOME fortune cookies I have been getting recently in my pre-Asia Asian food expoilts!!! I really teared up at the one about being on people's minds!
Also, since I got back from Washington D.C., my main focus has been on meeting up with friends and family before I head out! Things I've done so far:
July 16-18: Raeha came to visit me from Oklahoma! (I also got to see Rick and Josh again before I left that weekend!)
July 18: My new cousin Jason Wesley Rogers was born and I went to see him!
July 20: Went into SA to visit my online friend and now real life friend King and she helped me with my computer!
July 22: Went Tubing with friends and then saw Harry Potter at the IMAX!!! Life is so much better at the IMAX! =)
July 23: Took one of my cousins and his family to the airport to travel to Jamaica. And later that evening went to Saltlick with my mom and Mary! We had a blast and bought some new wine!
July 24: Had a dimsum brunch at Golden Wok with Amira and James then spent the rest of the day with my dad and step-mom.

And now we're on today! I have done NOTHING all day except for complete my powerpoint for our introductions in Kaohsiung.
Tonight I'm planning on completing my packing journey. I plan on going from two overweight bags to 3 manageable bags for check-in. I know this is going to be a lot of money in the end. I'm so not looking forward to it.
I've been kind of freaking out today about how comfortable I'm going to be on the plane to Taiwan. Apparently, the seats on the plane are only 17 inches. I just flew to Washington D.C. on a flight where the seats were 18 inches and I was extremely uncomfortable. I can't imagine having to do that for 13 1/2 hours!!! I'm going to have to take a lot of sleeping pills and just hope that my girth doesn't bother the two people sitting on either side of me!
Anyway, overall, I'm really excited about this experience, and I'm looking forward to spending time with all my friends and family before I leave! My schedule is quite packed! It's like I'm popular for the first time in my life! ;)
Until next time, I'm signing out!
Random Fun Fact: I spent about 5 days working on my PowerPoint Presentation for Taiwan... I think in total I spent about 8-10 hours on it. In my opinion, I think it looks really nice!
