Since I was so sick the last 2 nights. It went through the process of fever, normal, fever, and normal according to the medication effect. I felt so weird and since Grace’s coming, I did the COVID test. I am POSITIVE. My plan needs to change at all.

I can’t go back to Kaohsiung. Grace decided not to come. Although I don’t need a quartine, I feel terribly sick. I was expecting her coming and reserved a table in The Little New York. I hoped that we could enjoy quality time together. However, it turned out to be she asked me if I have things to eat, and do I go to a doctor. I texted Sally and Grace back and forth and just don’t want them to worry. All these check-ins are signals of concern. She told me to make good use of the opportunity to REST. When she told me she was upset about not coming, I realized that she is definitely a supporter in my life. Then, she decided to take the HSR back and forth between Kaohsiung and Taichung.

In addition, all of my other supporters think that my decision for Grace to come is insane. However, when I talked to her, I am sure that as I guessed, she is principled and she thinks it’s okay to stay with me as a friend. I think that she trusts me a lot. From this case, we know that the teacher-student relationships in Taiwan are rigid. Teachers are distant with students especially professors. They even asked me, ” If your professor sleeps with you, do you sleep well?” Haha, my intuition was just Grace is my supporter. I really did not think about too many details. Stephaine even told me so straightforwardly that she does not have this kind of experience so she can’t imagine that a professor can be a supporter in life. For her, processors are used to socializing, not real friends. Well, in my case, I am lucky to have Grace who really loves me, supports me, and helps me all along the way.
