an update
Anyway, turns out that today I didn't go on Clinton-Quest. Instead, I applied for some universities (Mal-U/C & UVic). This year I decided 'screw UBC' because they didn't offer me money last time & my grades are the same. Another thing I realised while in Taiwan is that I don't really want to be a secondary school teacher in Canada, nor in Taiwan & I am pretty sure I equally don't want to in most other countries. So I applied for Malaspina's Faculty of Arts & UVic's Faculty of Humanities (indicating interest in Pacific & Asian Studies). I'm hoping to continue studying Japanese / Chinese & English or something related to linguistics or literature.
In other news, tomorrow I don't really feel like chasing Taiwan's president either, nor watching indie rock concerts in the rain (plus I don't know where they are). So I am probably going to meet up with Scott at the Chen residence for the watching of the 1st half of Smallville: Season 4. I hope it will be a nice peaceful day & I can rest some more. I haven't been too motivated to study Chinese at all today, nor was I yesterday. I think in class I will move to work on reading comprehension, perhaps if the lady can find easy articles or something, or perhaps selected passages from younger grades' textbooks. Sometimes I half-know what the "Three Principles of the People" text is about but I don't know enough to learn most of the definitions of new terms.
Rock on, y'all. And post comments... I know some of you are in Idaho, but last time I checked a very large portion of my readership is not in one of Carmella's jazz bands. Is it a content issue? More randomness needed, perhaps.

cool,kevin. I'm thinking of looking into something about languages too. and literature? does that mean that we will some time in the future be seeing some books authored by kevin J. Dobson? that's probably not what you meant, but it would be cool :P
Carmella has a way of owning her students.
Watching indie rock concerts in the rain sounds like a blast to me.
Maybe you will, Amay, though naturally I was thinking more along the lines of all the good shtuff that has already been written. 'Twould be cool indeed; us Gentiles need to find immortality whatever way we can get it.
Alana-- a blast of soaking, soaking water. That's also kind of cold. :p I would go if it was bands I knew or had heard were better quality than what I've already heard~ still I enjoyed the way I spent my day.
not so much randomness, though tis very much appreciated. but relevance is what I desire!!! I want you back in Nanaimo with stories about Nanaimo!
COME BACK COME BACK COME BACK!!!! We must have mad p-tays, and cruise muchly in some form of clubwagon! even if your parents cruelly sell yours!
L: Darned UBC, I mean there are so many things that make me not want to go there. It would be cool to meet all the different people from around the world (but wait, what am I doing RIGHT NOW?! :p). BUT, one it would mess up drums for another year, two~there is the problem of cost. I sure as hell can't personally afford that & I would want to have like the BEST university I can find lined up before I asked my parents for money. A degree from a "respectable" university would be good I guess, but really, I don't think it matters THAT much in the long run. I'm not running for Mayor of Taipei or anything.
Sometimes, I get a little bit tired. Like, for the right band I'll go a long way, but it rains HARD in Taiwan. I don't want to get sick for mediocre music either.
Alleah: just have to wait a while longer... 4.5 months approximately. You've probably got lots to work on, partying to do in the meantime. I was thinking minivan more than club wagon if 'my' signature vehicle is sold off, but cruising as much as gas prices permit is fun. We can doubtless throw some big bashes though, whee. rock on
