I just spent the last two days writing a cover letter. I am so out of practice on this whole job searching stuff. It took me waaaayyy longer than I had expected, but now I have a pretty awesome letter to match a semi-awesome resume. So double fist pump for that.
So today was registration day over at Mandarin Training Center where I will be taking language classes starting July 1. I am so ready for the learning to begin because
- I will finally learn how to say, "rad" and "sweet" and "dude," plus all the bad words that frequent my daily vocabulary.
- I want to make friends and have people to eat lunch with. Is that sad?
I have to say though, I've been pretty freakin stoked to find that there is another George Mason alum living here in Taipei. Small world right? Apparently we had a bunch of friends in common, but never crossed paths in the four years in college. So thanks to facebook, gmail, and my new cell phone here in Taiwan we have been able to meet up twice for eats and drinks. Very cool and laid back girl. Plus, she has a blog which makes her even cooler in my book.
Lastly, I was able to make a little bit of art today. Simple. Made with anything I could find. And the help of the passport photo dude who printed out two extra ones just so I could scrap. I had to use my tweezers to rub the letters on to the paper. It was tricky, but it worked.
Off to grab some dinner before everything shuts down. Peace yo!
and she likes to jump too! match made in heaven huh?! good luck on the job search
