Weather and Tests

Don't get me wrong I like Taiwan a lot. It is a nice place to live and the people are great. Still the weather leaves a lot to be desired. A few weeks ago I had to turn on the AC. The sun was out it was humid and it was hot--lovely weather for shorts.

Then last week that was reversed the temperatures were dropping into the 50's. That may not seem too bad but to transition from a temperature in the 80's to the low 50's is a pretty big change in the span of a week. Even for the Lantern Festival it was like that. The first day was a little overcast but warm. In the evening there was a drizzle. By the next day it was raining hard and it was significantly colder (~20 degrees F).

Then this weekend I did something I had not done for almost 2 years. I took a test. I was taking a practice LSAT and I managed to score right at the median. The cool thing was I when I spoke with a girl who was also there to take the test. She was from the same state, same city, and lived pretty close to me. When I asked where she went to high school--you guessed it--she went to the same school as me. She was a year older.

Nevertheless, I was stunned. It is a small world indeed.
