Well, it’s less than a month until I leave for Taiwan. Lots of stuff I’m leaving behind. Lots of people left behind. I’m going to try to come back 2.5 months later. A bit earlier than planned. I was supposed to be gone 3.5 months!! EEP! I’d rather cut it short, because I don’t think I’ll be able to take the heat! It’s so hot in Taiwan.
Anyway, I’ve been packing to take all my dorm stuff home. Can you believe the semester is over? Two tests and I’m out of here! I’m so excited. I’ve been waiting so long for this to just be FINISHED. I’m so sick of the classes I have now (well except Anthro, I like Anthro lots).
As for Taiwan, my dad just sent my application for housing at National Taiwan Normal University. He applied for a single! Yay!
Ok, time to go. Talk to you closer to leaving.

Hi, my name is Joanna and I'm a 24 and a graduate of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. I studied Anthropology and Asian Languages and Cultures with a focus on Japanese. I currently work in New York City at Time Inc in the Consumer Marketing Division. The titles I work on are Money, Fortune, & Real Simple Magazines. I am focused on retention and billing for the magazines.
My family is Taiwanese, but I was born in Pittsburg, Kansas. I speak two languages fluently: English and Mandarin Chinese. I have a good grasp of the native Taiwanese language, I studied French for 5 years, and I studied Japanese for 3 years at a college level. I love languages, but it is tough when I don't have the chances to utilize them in an everyday environment.
I have so many different interests, from art, music to technology. I love things like reading the news or just hanging out with friends. I like to try new things, especially new foods or going to unknown places.
