Japanese Society and Culture...

This is the class I started today, looking at the class outline I think I am going to LOVE it! I thoroughly enjoyed my Contemporary Japan and China classes that I have taken the last two semesters. I am definitely feeling that this is the perfect major for me. People think it's useless, I think it's fascinating. Maybe I've caught on earlier than most that doing what you like is a lot more fun and enjoyable than doing what is expected of you.

Although it took quite a rough ride to actually pull out of my "asian-ness" and stray away from what is expected of me.

It was also very nice to find that two of my former classmates are also in this class with me so I am not alone. It's nice to make new friends but sometimes having people familiar around is better. Besides I found out one of my classmates also works at an ESL Conversational school downtown. So we're somewhat in the same "field".

Anyway the weekend is fastly approaching us once again. I had my 2nd Korean lesson yesterday. It's going to be hard work to learn Korean, but I feel like I can do it! HWAITING.
I think I need someone to chat in Mandarin with...but I feel so shy speaking Mandarin I think I sound really off/odd. It's ok I will step outside of my comfort zone and try to speak to my Taiwanese friend more while he is still here...ahah.
