I feel rather awful these days A trans-girl as I am...generally referred to as somebody who's got self gender-identifying problem or whatever. I should have spent enough time studying and paid more attention to my extra language study; I use extra here, because I major in languages and am learning some other non-major languages. Just like a miracle, a boy from online friends has broken into my private world and he told me that he would care for me like a girlfriend and would love me…actually I am not an easily moved person except something really impressive happen to me. As a matter of fact, I have deleted him, that boy, for twice!!...and he added me back because he knows my cell phone number. He majored in German and is now working in a factory; he’s obsessed about German, French and Latin…maybe the same hobbies bring us together. And I do cherish the relationship between us even though we live far from each other, even a network relationship as it is, I still attach great importance to it. But with time going by, I gradually realize that he’s not that into chatting with me like what he does with all his other friends, except when he wants to look up dictionary (he doesn’t have a computer) and he always asks me to look up the dict., because he knows many German friends, and he wants to improve his German via chatting with them. What really makes me feel sad is that he never really cared about me even though I told him that I did think about him everyday, and I couldn’t even concentrate on my textbooks, he didn’t show any affection…which made me doubt the purpose of his so called “I love you” stuff. What the heck does he want with me, using me or something? I left messages to him this daytime and he hasn’t replied me till now like he always did. He only talks to me when he needs me…this isn’t love at all. And that’s why I have decided to do something, which is meaningful to me, in this approaching winter vacation. I plant to study more languages than I did before…I’m interested in comparative linguistics; I’m intrigued to figure out the differences and similarities between different languages I want to know the whole development of English, so I’m going to learn Old English, Middle English, Early Modern English (by reading Shakespeare ^___^) I’ve been learning Latin for a semester and will learn it in the future. I’m also going to learn Uyghur, used in Xinjiang province, China. I will focus on my Japanese study, I don't want to fail N2.Maybe Norwegian is included

What is the meaning of these two phrases? I often watch American movies and dramas,and I can learn many new or useful expressions...but sometimes I don't really understand the meaning of some of them even they seem to be rather easy.. Here's 2 phrases that I came across in movies [I'm fried] --- YOu can stay here if you want, ---he(laugh) -- what?..it's been a while -- No,I can't,I'm, I'm totally,totally fried,is that ok? [Surprise me] -- You want your big knife or your really big knife. -- Surprise me! lol...those are parts of the movies I've seen and I really want to figure them out thank you^^~

"Small"things reflect"Big"truth A weird thought has recently occurred to me and that's why I want to write this essay. There is an American program called"Kids React",and whenever it comes to the videos related to songs and pop cultures..those kids seem to dislike different cultures,especially different language cultures,which reminds me of another story that happened when I was a college freshman. Actually,I love foreign songs,songs in different languages...and I often played some music in dormitory when it was too quiet.And someday,one of my dorm mates burst out his "anger" and was like,"stop,dude, Why do you like those strange songs,please don't play it,we like songs that we can understand" I just don't get it,why cannot people try to accept things that they don't really know about it? Actually I don't really think "unknown" things are that terrible..And I think we need to try to learn new things and accept new things,it's a good way to broaden your mind.

私の日本語の自己紹介 皆さん、こんばんは 私はcassieです、大学生です、専門は英語と日本語です。出身は中国の荆州です。 この学期は私は通学生になりましたね、そして、毎日、授業が終わった後、家へ帰ります。 通学生になったことはとても疲れましたねえ。毎朝、私は六時に起きます、六時二十分ごろ家で朝食を食べます。七時ごろ、私は必ずバスを乗ります。早く起きなければ、学校に遅れますらしいですね。 毎晩、私は日本語を勉強しているのは、日本語が下手だからです。来年の日本語のＮ２試験に通ようと思ってします。そして、よくＮＨＫで聴解を練習します。 子とも時から、外国語の勉強に興味が持っています。将来、外国語についての仕事をしたいです。音楽も好きですね、いろんな言葉の歌が好きです。例えば、英語の歌や、日本語の歌や、フランス語の歌など 私は自分映画を見ることより友達と一緒に映画を見ることのほうが好きですよ。 スリラーと生活についての映画が大好きだ 最近、友達の一人に英語を翻訳している、本当に難しいねえ。翻訳者になれば、外国語を必ず頑張らなければなりません。 Um..since my Jp level is still elementary..so it's not easy for me to write something complicated... and I appreciate it if you're willing to correct my essay...thanks^^t
