I don't know what to write. I'm pretty boring. Ever since I got back from the Philippines, I've been running on an old lady schedule. Up at 6, down by 10. This works wonders on my school life but wreaks havoc on everything fun. I suppose in some ways, it's a good thing. For example, it has become my life goal to hike the Banaue rice terraces...

Yeah, those terraces.

...so I've been hitting the gym every morning. I tell myself it's to prepare for a three-day hike in the scorching heat, but in reality, the hours between 6 and 11 can get pretty fucking boring if no one else is awake. At least if anyone spontaneously decides to hike up a few mountains in the Philippines, I can convince myself it's a good idea to tag along.

I got an internship in Taiwan for the summer, and I might take it. I need more time to think, though. If I disappear, I probably went through with it.

That's pretty much it. I can't believe it's only been 2 weeks since the last time I wrote. It seems like months.
