June 24-28

Week 2 of classes went by very quickly. Essentially at this point I have a routine and everything works out.

June 25 at the internship this afternoon I was able to sit in on a meeting with Tracy (another CET student interning at the DPP). The meeting was with a group of students from Boise State University, and I thought they had some particularly interesting questions about the DPP.

June 26 at work I began translating my paper that I finished on Tuesday into Chinese. Translating is REALLY HARD.

June 27 while at ICLP, I asked Chunling whether or not my translation made any sense. I was particularly excited when she said that she actually was able to understand what I was talking about. I believe that once I finish translating, someone at the DPP will probably need to go over and clean up the Chinese grammar to make sure it is completely legible and makes sense to the normal Taiwanese person.

June 28 after several days of visiting a particular tree on campus with gorgeous flowers, I was able to send my mom a nice "Happy Birthday" message.
