Boyfriend tutor

Last night I had to switch the date of my airplane ticket and so today I had everything ready to go to the immigration office to get my extension. I had to get up early and stop by at work since my boss was nice and helped me print off my airplane ticket. I then went to the immigration office by taking a taxi. I told the taxi driver where to go and I even wrote it out just in case he didn't understand where I wanted to go.

The taxi driver started talking to me and he was curious as to why I was going to the immigration office since he thought I was Taiwanese. It was nice to practice my Chinese but I was really tired. But we talked for a bit. The funniest thing though was when he mentioned his son. I guess his son is 23, getting his masters, and can speak some English. He took classes at Kojen when he was little. He said that I could do a language exchange and his son can teach me Chinese while I teach him English. He kept saying that his son was tall lol He asked me if I had a boyfriend and I'm like nope. He asked me if I was looking for a boyfrend and I'm like nope since I'm leaving the country.

I was kidding around, and being a little serious, and said the only reason why I would want a Taiwanese boyfriend is to show me all the good places to eat haha

I finally got to the immigration office and waited 40 mins to only realize that I can only extend my ARC a month before the expiration date. I came too early since I have to extend it after May 29th!! Ahh! But at least I know that I can get my extension and now for sure I'm leaving Taipei July 14th. I'm still really sad about leaving early though because I'm leaving sooner than I thought and I'm not ready to say goodbye to everyone, including my students. I didn't think it would be this hard but it's going to be for me.

I casually mentioned to my second favorite class tonight how I'm not staying in Taipei forever and I will leave to go back to America since the voc. word is "stay". They were quiet though so I don't know if they understood what I meant or if they were actually sad lol
