What did I do during my last week of summer vacation? Thanks for asking. Well, I went to Macau for a Shue Yan English Department retreat and ended up eating so much I was nearly incapacitated. Lunch, meeting, coffee break, meeting, 12 course dinner, bed, breakfast, meeting, lunch again. I ate goose liver, baby pigeons, oyster cream soup, and whatever else had the misfortune of being placed in front of me (minus the chicken feet). Then, the day after our return from Macau, another all-you-can-eat buffet of gluttonous goodness, all thanks to the fine folks at SYU. They satiate us with food and then unleash us upon unsuspecting freshmen and sophomores for the next 15 weeks. How cunning they are.
I'm teaching 15 credits at Shue Yan and taking 6 credits as a student at CUHK. Will I be spreading myself thin? Will the wife forget who I am when I return home at midnight with dark circles under my eyes and literary theory books in tow? Only time will tell.
Will I have the time to retype and upload my Taipei recap? To the 3 of you who actually care about reading such mundane topics, the answer is...if you insist.
