So yeah. I decided to continue with Chinese, that was always my plan and I’m not going to deviate from it, even if its hard.  I’ve already invested alot of time and energy into learning it and I think I’ve made a lot of progress.  Alot of people have asked me what the “point was” to taking another year of it.  I think it’s worth it.  Not only will it become an extremely important language in the future but I’m also aiming for a career in the business world.  Try convincing me that knowing Chinese won’t be useful in the business world…go on…just try =).  Of course that isn’t my only motivation for learning Chinese but thats a post for another day.  For now it looks like my schedule will be packed, unlike my super sweet schedule from this term.  I guess I’m a little disappointed that I couldn’t fit Intermediate Tae Kwon Do into my schedule, but there’s always time for that I guess.

Anyway, I’ve told a lot of people so far but I guess I should write it down.  As of this fall term, I will not be a sophomore but rather a junior thanks to the crap load of APs  I took in high school. Due to this I have an entire year to play with.  At first I considered graduating in 2010 but it seems likely that my third year of college will be spent overseas as an international student.  Try to imagine my shock when my parents told me they were okay with this.  They don’t let me out after dark but they’re okay with me living half-way around the world for a  year.  i guess they must be tired of trying xD.  I’m hoping to go to Hong Kong or Shanghai so I can take business courses in addition to improving my Chinese.
