Too tired for language study. I am taking a bit of a hiatus (break) from learning Chinese. For a while there, I was doing it so often every day that combined with work and other social activities, it was all just getting to be too much. I was really getting in to learning Characters(hanzi) and chatting for hours with different people but these days, I just dont have the energy. On top of that, I have added far too many people to my friends list. What does that mean? It means I am almost always sent chat requests, or have people trying to call me - to the point where I am considering de-activating my account and creating a new one, adding only a select few. While it has been great speaking to different people, at the end of the day, I am just one person, with a life, and i do not have enough time to speak to everyone (as much as i would like to). On the bright side, I have made some really good friends, and going forward, that makes me happy. I have really enjoyed getting to know some of you - you know who you are. cheers Marcus
