Fact/Observation: People really have a good time talking about themselves. Try it. Talk to a friend, an acquaintance, a coworker, etc. and usually they seem to be very interested/excited to share something about themselves or about the topic that they bring up.

Interesting

For most people, the first few things you notice about someone you have just met:

1. gender

2. age

3. race

My Favorite Subject

Goal to watch a drama in Mandarin Chinese with only Chinese subtitles has been accomplished finally!!!

I realized that in my life, I've taken four years of Spanish in high school, and two semesters of Chinese in college. Yet my Mandarin is probably 5 times more advanced than my Spanish. I didn't know any Mandarin until after I graduated high school. This is really exciting for me, because I truly believe now that if you do something you have a passion for, it really does become a process that is a lot easier and smoother :) So yes, it is only worth it to pursue seriously things that you seriously want to pursue. Quality>quantity!

Worst Feeling

When someone you care about keeps kicking themselves in the foot. And they're too stubborn to take anyone's suggestions or advice or help.
