Yes it is true, things are slowing down here. Sunday night I had supper with the group of foreign students and a few others from Taiwan. The pizza was okay but it didn't have pizza sauce. They got some really weird kinds of pizzas that are popular here like: Seafood pizza, lobster pizza, shrimp, bacon and pea pizza, curry pizza and some other more normal types. The shrimp and curry pizzas were good. We had a good time just talking and hanging out in a dorm room.
Today I meet with my professor. He confirmed what I already knew about my internship. That I will be doing a tour of a New Energy company on Friday. I will then be working for a production company next week. He didn't know the schedule of my class yet but I believe it starts on the 28th, which is when my online thermodynamics class from ISU starts. I also should be hearing back from him about some other things.
Tomorrow I will be making rice dumplings with some people and then on Wednesday there is a big festival. Rice dumplings are a popular food for the festival. It is in honor of a poet.
One thing I have not talked about is the food here. The food is okay. Some things I like and somethings I hate. The things I tend to like are closer to American food. Some people asked what I would do if I didn't like the food. Well, there is a Subway, Mc Donald's, a Burger King, and an Italian place right by where I live. I have ate at all only once except Subway. I have taken several trips there. I have been lifting weights while I have been here. I am on a pattern of lifting every other day. I like to have something to do and I want to come back strong. I have been reading a little bit as well, from the book "One Thing You Can't Do in Heaven." I haven't gone to church yet so this is a good thing to do. I think I will be going to a Mormon Church on Sunday.
I have been planning my weekends with some others and I should have some fun stuff coming up. So stay tuned!
