major.

I've finally figured out what I want to major in when I go to college: Asian languages and culture. That's so fobby of me, isn't it?

The reason I want to choose this major is because I can learn and memorise vocabulary and grammar fairly easily. And I already have a solid foundation in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. So, it'd be a lot easier for me. Also, I really like studying Asian languages. :D

I'M GOING TO BE AN AMBASSADOR WHEN I GROW UP.

Actually, I have no idea what I want to do. Maybe I can go to an Asian country and teach English. Or I can travel to those countries and do make up art there. Or I can be a translator. For MANGA. <3 Haha. I'm just being weird now. But seriously, there are so many possibilities. I don't know what I'm going to do.

And I really have to thank my little sister for helping me decide on this major. She was talking about how I'm better at Korean than some of her Korean friends. Before, we were talking about how I was good at Japanese or whatever. Then, she told me that I should major in Korean. And I thought that might be a good idea, and that majoring in Japanese wouldn't be bad, either. So, I decided, why not just major in East Asian languages in general?

I already know Mandarin pretty well, but I still need to study those thingies (I forgot what they're called, but they're the four-character sayings or whatever). Because that's really important in Chinese. And I need to learn how to read. Haha. Both traditional and simplified. I can read some of both (traditional because I study Japanese kanji and simplified because that's what I learned growing up), but I definitely need to improve.

But until then, I'll study hard! :)
