On a lighter, less depressing note. I've decided to pick up french next year rather than Chinese. My mother and I have agreed that, being chinese and having many years of experience in chinese school, should be enough for me to self learn and perfect later on or outside of my studies. I am surrounded by chinese people, and my whole family speaks chinese half the time to me, so it'll be easy to pick up, and i don't need a university degree to tell me i can speak it..because i can. So i've decided to pick up french and get the fundamentals down so that I can add another language to my skills. Being bilingual is so advantageous, I'm finding. At work, i get so many asian people confront me and speak mandarin, and i'm the only one in the store that can communicate with them. I am killing it in the sales with the asian community at the moment just because of this! Who knows? maybe i can get the french speaking community on my side next year aswell! haha.
I've started a list of place that i want to visit after i graduate. I'm taking a year off and going to go travelling around the world. India, sri lanka and egypt are probably my top 3 most wanted destinations at the moment. Other countries featured on my current list include, Italy, austria, and some places in china such as Beijing and Leshan.
Anyway, whilst writing this, i've decided to go for a walk around my university before it gets too dark, and hopefully friends will be awake by the time i get back. I'm off.
