Eat, Play, Sleep, Project

Today is the only day where we spent all of our time in the hostel because of the typhoon. But we did not waste the time off because we enjoyed ourselves to the fullest. We played Bridge, Rat Slap and Spoon card games and I was kind of glad that we have this sudden break after all the packed activities to relax our bodies. Rat Slap is a game introduced by Kim and it is kind of fun to play. It is able to involve more people in the game and can last really long! I was quite excited and overwhelmed over the game that I was trying my best to win it. Hence, I picked up the game pretty quickly and was able to win it the first round, yeah!

Although the schedule for today was as exciting as our sleep-filled bus rides, I really enjoyed the time spent with my classmates. It felt like another free day. Free in the fact that we could do anything we pleased. Not free in the fact that we were confined to our small building. Sometimes I speak Chinese so fast that Kim can't understand haha.

As we did not have many things to do, we tried to make the best out of what we have in the building. So we were basically eating, playing and sleeping throughout the day. We were also productive by coming out with a topic fast on our project - Plants' Resistance Against Wind. It was basically the study of different plant species' resistance against winds, in lieu with the typhoon that just happened in Taiwan.

Time past so fast that we have already come to project meeting because after that, it's going to be the time to bid goodbye. I do not want the program to end so early as I feel that I have not explored Taiwan enough. How I wish they could extend it for one more month and pull me out of the stressful academic life.
