Uniform!

I finally got my uniform today! Now I can send in some pics next time. Here is my school schedule:

-Monday: Math for 2 hours, Multimedia Design for 2 hours, Self study for 1 hour, Handicrafts for 2 hours, P.E. for 1 hour.

-Tuesday: Help in Kindergarten for 1 hour, Sewing for 3 hours, Chinese for 2 hours, P.E. for 1 hour, Self Study for 1 hour.

-Wednesday: Cooking for 4 hours, Class gathering, school gathering, and then club. I don't know what I club I will join yet.

-Thursday: help in Kindergarten for 1 hour, Crocheting for 2 hours, Self Study for 1 hour, Clothing Design 2 hours, Chinese for 1 hour, Piano for 1 hour.

-Friday: Activity Design for 4 hours, Piano 2 hours, Children's crafts for 1 hour, Self study for 1 hour.

I am very happy with my schedule, and I think it is going to work very well. I am having a lot of fun, and studying plenty. The weather is still insane, and I hope it will clear up soon. Cooking class is my favorite, along with sewing and fashion design, and the moon cakes turned out delicious. Moon cakes are a traditional pastry during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The ones we made were stuffed with green bean paste and some other ingredients that I don't know what they were. I have cooking again tomorrow, and I have no clue what we are making, though my Chinese teacher suspects we will make a different type of moon cake. The Mid-Autumn Festival is this weekend, so that should be fun.

Here are the answers to the new questions:

I call my host mom 'Jenny' or 'A yi' which means aunt. I call my host dad uncle or Jin.

I do live in an apartment, but it is huge. It is 4 stories tall, and each floor is a good size.

I think about 400 SCRATCH THAT 1,200 STUDENTS IN MY SCHOOL students in my school, but I am not sure.

Their are 3 types of high schools. Schools for people that want to major in history and language, and those that want to major in math and science. Vocational high schools are also very common.

People get to choose what school they go to.

I am about 120 miles from Taipei, and 30 from Taichung.

Thank you for all of your support. I feel the love and prayers all the way over here. They have kept me going strong when I am weak. I love you all!

  1. Hiya Jenn! Just Tori this time.
    I'm glad you're doing well! your classes sound really fun, I'm glad you're having a good time. What is 'self study'? It's cool that you get to help in Kindergarden classes, did you pick that or were you assigned? I hope you have a great week, Jenn!

  2. What a fun schedule! I assume you don't have a lot of homework besides math,learning Chinese and piano. Do they have a lot of fesitivals in Taiwan? What do you do when you help in Kindergarten?
