I really should be studying now...

Hello everyone! (anyone still read this?) I'm back after a very long time (I did come to visit a few times, I swear!), and I'm glad that "myO still <3's me" but I'm still not happy about the whole worlds-taking-over-all-of-myO-and-almost-getting-rid-of-myO-completely-thing. I have a "world" but I don't use it. *shrug* So, I suppose I should get on with my post then, eh? Well, I'm still in China, and still studying Chinese. I only have about two weeks of class + a week of exams, not to mention the HSK exam in a week. (kind of like a Chinese language placement test) It kind of sucks when all my friends back home have summer vacation now, and I'm still in school. *cries* Oh well, the semester DID start in March, so who am I to complain if it gets extended into the summer then? I'll still have a month and a half of vacation-time after I go home next month. This semester in China has been really good, relationships-wise, as well as language-wise. I've only started learning the language this past March, and I've already learned so much! This American guy in my class has been studying for 3 YEARS and has learned as much as we have. O_O whoah. Also the Chinese people that I've been talking to have been pretty surprised that we've only been studying it for about 3 months or so. I've also made friends from all over the world: Phillipines, the UK, Holland, Korea, and South Africa. SPEAKING OF SOUTH AFRICA...^^; I've kind of had a crush on that South African guy since I laid eyes on him. (sorry guys, but he's really good-looking in my opinion...) I've thought of telling him how I feel SO many times, and have had SO many opportunities to tell him...but I haven't. Why? Well, he's a year younger than me, and it's not his age that bothers me. It's the fact that he's fresh out of high school, and he hasn't experienced all that I have from living away from home at University, you know? I feel like he may have some growing up to do, and he has grown a lot since I've known him. He also is very popular among the ladies, and his ex-girlfriends are beautiful from the pictures he's shown me... And I'm just a t-shirt and jeans kind of a girl with some weight to lose. But... We're always hanging out with each other, and we're always together. I kind of want to tell him, but he's going back to S. Africa in a few weeks (before I go back to the US) and he'll be seeing all those beautiful S. African girls again... including his ex/best friend that he keeps talking about. ;_; I think I'll just let things be. I mean, why make things potentially awkward when we're just about to part ways after a great semester? *sigh* The good news is, he may move to the US soon-ish (read: in 6 months- a year). And I'm probably going to be coming back to China for a few weeks if I can get my visa extended. (they're limiting visas for the olympics, so we'll see how long I can get.) Of COURSE this post is mainly about a boy. Jeesh. I get so boy-crazy sometimes. It sucks, really. I've also been thinking about moving abroad after I graduate. Like, going to Finland (where I'm originally from) or to Germany or something. Maybe even back to China to continue my studies of Chinese, who knows? The idea of it just sounds better and better, the more I think about it. I have a lot of connections, so it could possibly work out. However, I have 2 years of Uni left (maybe more, depends on if I can graduate on time...), so I have plenty of time to think about it. For right now, I really should be studying, oy. So I'll leave it here for now. I may pick it up again later today, or tomorrow... or something. ~Minako aka Laura There is no price for awesomeness...and attractiveness. ~ the new movie, Kung Fu Panda. heh heh.
