Today I got all dressed up in a black university gown and a graduation hat. Uninformed onlookers may have thought I was graduating, which would have been great. But alas, I still have 4 subjects and a thesis to go. What was really happening was our class graduation photo. I found it to be way too early to begin thinking about this stuff, but I was told it’s just how it happens in Taiwan. Apparently it’s the same with the graduation ceremony, it’s held before the actual end of the final semester before you know whether you passed or not. I guess this adds extra pressure for those exams. Wouldn’t want to still be around after attending your graduation ceremony.

Miss you guys so much. Yes indeed, it is really strange to have a graduation ceremony before the final exam. I believe that the authority assumes that all of us won’t have any problem about the final exam. That’s why they think it is quite ok to have a graduation ceremony before you really graduate.
I am doing ok here Travel, travel, and travel. I see lots of stuff and feel lots of difference. Mabye you feel the same cuz you are from Aus. Anyway, I miss you guys so much, especially the food. Study hard and take care:).
