Hey.

So I'm alive, yes.

Today was the first day I didn't have to be at school. High school, that is.

It feels so surreal. It hasn't hit me quite yet that I won't be returning to high school as a full-time student now. Sure, I made a facebook (if you have one, let me know!) and signed all those yearbooks, but right now I feel like I'm on extended vacation. Spring break. Fall break. One of those.

I suddenly feel tremendously sad.

But excited. Yes, definitely excited.

Anyway, I'm translating a Chinese book right now. I don't know like, 80% of Chinese words. My speaking/hearing is decent but reading/writing I definitely need to work on. It also stinks that I'm learning Traditional Chinese because my parents are from Taiwan, but in almost every college the classes will be Simplified Chinese because that is *the* Chinese to use, especially in business. I hope I'm not a dying breed...

wah nice layout.

and your parents are from taiwan? mine is too!! well, my mom is but my parents first met in taiwan.

and i totally understand about traditional vs. simplified chinese. honestly, the ancestors didn't use simplified so why are we even using it? go traditional!
