Clazziquai Project – 라푼젤 (rapunzel)
i was sitting in the car waiting for it to warm up, and I wanted to take a really cool picture of looking into the rear view mirror. it failed obviously, probably would need an assistant to help with this picture.
summer is moving too fast, the things that i was doing last week i am no longer doing (i.e. job hunting) but i’m still working hard on my korean lessons. Although, i must say, progress has declined almost to a halt. i was so proud of myself, as was my tutor, with my speed in learning hangul. it was really really fast, a lot faster than when i learned hiragana. (tooting my own horn, well IT IS my blog) i mean, i have a pretty good grasp of the vowels and the consonants, but when i read it’s like … “ah n ? eyon ha se yo..” Oh …
and now we’ve started with a bit of grammar, it’s not mind blowing, because it’s similar to japanese. and we all know how good my japanese is (2.5 years of studies, 3 months of living in japan, and fully relying on subtitles when watching stuff)../fail whale../
but still, the only thing i’ve had little trouble in my studies was languages and history. History won’t get me too far, so i’ll rely on my language skills. Well except for french, but i think its mostly because french culture doesn’t interest me very much, also was scared of my professor..but, learning french was still relatively easy, if i bothered to try … or i was too busy studying the BIG THREE (phys/bio/chem)
but, i’ve still studied french for FIVE /..counts../ FIVE years.
je m’appelle emma, comment ca va?
ca va bien, et toi?
the end.
hahahahahahaha, kidding, i know a bit more than that, not a LOT more though.
i’ve lost the point of this post, the fish is shiny no?
well this post was suppose to be talking about my lack of direction in my future, please understand that i’m trying not to screw my life up right from the start, aka right from graduating. i want to do well. i really want to do well. but i dont know what i want to do well in.
should i just run away forever?

really cool necklace is really cool! you could hypnotize someone with the shiny colors hahah
i’m also relying on my language skills (fail) for the future so high five~
Someone gave me a fish like that!
… but I lost it.
Relax a little! I bummed for like half a year before I started working full time and hated it ahaha…
I was told to start looking for something before I grad but like I ever listen to advice………
Learning languages is so fun! But yes, I wish I was more into French while it was happening in HS, probably would have retained more. Just pick up the Little Prince and it will come back to you!
Find what you’re passionate about and go do it. “Make shit awesome” – my old roommate
The necklace is so pretty! Also, I agree with the needing to be interested in the culture to be good at something because it makes you want to practise more. I haven’t graduated yet, still 2 years and a half to go but I don’t think it’s too important to find a fulltime job straight away, you’re still really young anyway~ You have so many decades to slave away at a job so enjoy freedom now! :D
i want to do well. i really want to do well. but i dont know what i want to do well in.
Story of my life. But I think — I’m SURE there will be that point soon where we realize this is exactly what we want to do with ourselves.
Yeah I pretty much lost motivation for learning Korean after I finished teaching myself hangul. I’m sucha lazy ass !
As for Français, I think the only time I’ve ever enjoyed it were the last few weeks of 9th grade when my teacher finally praised me for my pronunciation. Not to point fingers, but being cursed with-I don’t want to say BAD-unpleasant French teachers all my school life has held me back I think. The one’s in elementary school really did not make it all that enjoyable for us and we could not understand a thing she was yapping about. ugh! Je ne comprends pas français :(
…my lack of direction in my future. I feel ya girl! Not just about my future but even now during my summer break. My plan to have a “really productive and creative summer vacation” is going down the drain. Life just sux at the mo’
LOL the Hummer in the background!
You didn’t fail, shut yo mouth XD
Yea, screw history unless you wanna be a history teacher, languages are always useful but I think even a little knowledge goes a LONG way because so few people really know anything outside of their native language. Really. Self study of languages is something to be proud of even if you’re not as knowledgeable as you hoped :)
FLIPFLAP FISHY!
Loving the neckbling – very much win there!
Damn languages. I can barely grasp Chinese as it is! It’s too bloody hard! I applaud you and your efforts with Korean! Good on you for giving it a spirited go – honestly, I can barely remember what I wanted to be when I was “younger” and that’s because I never really wanted to be anything either. Or wanted to do well in anything in particular.
DAMN the Asian stereotype of “Doing intellectual jobs” – say, suck it to them and go do something you enjoy. FRAK, I’m a scientist (of all things) as a career but I make sure I have enough time to do things that I really enjoy – writing, reading, bumming on the internet, design and drinking coffee.
Don’t let the stresses of “Growing Up” get you down!
