Today I hit the books. I told Bo that I feel I've died and gone to her country, Korea, since it seems to be the cram/testing capital of the world. I had an oral exam today in Chinese class, and then the teacher assigned 77 new vocabulary words that we will be tested on tomorrow: tones, pinyin spelling and all. I studied with my classmate Kate all night. I'm glad my teacher is so demanding but I can't imagine doing this every night. I hope there will be some evenings where the workload is less rigorous.

Hi Emily!
ReplyDeleteWOW - it looks like you're living life to the fullest over there and are meeting SO many new people from many walks of life. I just wanted to let you know your blog has become a daily soap opera for me. Every day I look forward to it and get excited if I see a new update.
Keep up the good work on the studies -- one of my MBA courses emphasizes the current "flattening" of our world. Your ability to speak Chinese is going to be absolutely priceless!
MISS YOU!

Oh Seedorf! It's great that you've started school again. Pretty cool that we both are now students -- who would've thunk it? Wish we could be studying the "flattening" concepts together...
ReplyDeleteI miss you!!!!

Hmmm...no I'd have to argue that you are the more evil twin. If I recall correctly you were the mastermind behind most of our Popey schemes! :)
