Two posts in one week as I try to catch up. I’ve definitely been slacking on updating this, sorry mom! Life has been busy, and it keeps moving whether I sit down and write or not. The update this week is more of a play-by-play of everything we did! Week 6 was out of my ordinary routine because our supervisors from Iowa State were in town!!! Having them here was not only a lot of fun, but also a really big deal for our schools and teachers here in Taiwan. We knew going into it...]]></description><link>https://postcardsfromlil.wixsite.com/the-gallery/post/hey-hey-week-6-recap</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69f2f4b8bc2ce3253fd40668</guid><pubDate>Mon, 04 May 2026 00:20:07 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/4ca309_08c36f193e9e4160ae5e29cd4bf7d6cb~mv2.jpeg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>postcardsfromlil</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[a really sweet season]]></title><description><![CDATA[By the time I post this, I’ll be starting week 7… how is that possible???!!! I’ve sat down to write this post so many times, and this week I just don’t have the words to encapsulate all that happened. And honestly, I don’t think I ever quite will. There are simply so many things going on in what I’m able to experience, how I’m feeling, and the ways I’m growing here. An overload of things to talk about somehow leaves me with few words! I feel like I’m normally pretty composed in my thoughts...]]></description><link>https://postcardsfromlil.wixsite.com/the-gallery/post/a-lot-happened-and-i-don-t-have-the-words</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69eef7573fe49635e690eab5</guid><pubDate>Mon, 27 Apr 2026 07:08:23 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/4ca309_00dd0bd2728a4bd3a67bc7a3972159c3~mv2.jpeg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>postcardsfromlil</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[how am i halfway done???]]></title><description><![CDATA[This blog post is coming to you a little later than normal this week because I’ve been down for the count. The night markets finally got to me… with what? I don’t know, but I’m quite positive my body is not supposed to be feeling this way! I’ve been feeling sick since Sunday night, and I’m finally feeling on the ups now. This week was a short week because we had Monday off for a holiday, and on Wednesday, I went home from school early because I was sick and couldn’t shake it for a couple of...]]></description><link>https://postcardsfromlil.wixsite.com/the-gallery/post/how-am-i-halfway-done</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69d865fd4e4fe2e3f72bc53c</guid><pubDate>Fri, 10 Apr 2026 03:40:38 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/4ca309_71fd908c70804f65925c7bbf35a4590c~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>postcardsfromlil</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[moments from week 3]]></title><description><![CDATA[Today marks the end of three weeks of teaching (now on a four-day weekend – YAY!) and also three weeks in Taiwan. It feels like I just sat down to write about week two. Every week that passes, I find more things I like about Taiwan. Not necessarily traditional Taiwanese food yet, but more importantly, the people, the places, the students, and everyday life here. I think what surprises me the most is how quickly things are starting to feel normal. Things that felt so unfamiliar just a week ago...]]></description><link>https://postcardsfromlil.wixsite.com/the-gallery/post/moments-from-week-3</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69cdd8632a4608ae001b6846</guid><pubDate>Thu, 02 Apr 2026 03:35:11 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/4ca309_4534eefa717b49ebb1116dced2cd9727~mv2.jpeg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>postcardsfromlil</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[settling into life in taiwan]]></title><description><![CDATA[I’m sitting in my little cubicle writing this after almost two full weeks in Taiwan, and it’s starting to feel strange that this is my life right now. So much of what I’ve experienced so far is exactly what I expected, and at the same time, completely different. There are so many things I’ve already come to love, and some I’m still getting used to. There is a lot of joy in the simple moments of life her that I don't want to take for granted. And to be honest, there have been some hard moments...]]></description><link>https://postcardsfromlil.wixsite.com/the-gallery/post/settling-into-life-in-taiwan</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69c38174653657f03d5c00ee</guid><pubDate>Wed, 25 Mar 2026 06:39:26 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/4ca309_efc30b2515b94671b51bb4db5349fd77~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>postcardsfromlil</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[hi from taiwan!]]></title><description><![CDATA[The suitcases are unpacked, and I’m officially settled into my new home in Taiwan. I’m so excited to finally start my student teaching journey here. I created this space as a digital "postcard" to share my favorite moments from the classroom and my adventures around the island. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and as I start this new chapter in Taiwan, I’m finding that’s definitely true. Between the bustling streets of the city and the busy world of my new school, there is so...]]></description><link>https://postcardsfromlil.wixsite.com/the-gallery/post/hi-from-taiwan</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69b79ee6b77817bc0c9ef0f8</guid><pubDate>Mon, 16 Mar 2026 06:32:52 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/4ca309_fad641ab8c2343bfa77e1028ae8371fb~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>postcardsfromlil</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
