Hi everyone.
So, day one of school and my American Lit teacher asks us to keep up with a blog for the year. Here it goes.
There's not a whole lot to know about me. First off, my name is Helen, I'm 14, and just started high school. I'm usually a very busy person with school, piano, Chinese, and math team (there are a few others too, but they don't seem to be worth mentioning). Things I like to do for fun..it's mostly eating and sleeping, to be honest. Desserts are my favorite :) But I also enjoy music a lot, especially singing. Things I don't like to do consist mostly of cleaning, speaking in front of an audience, and talking about myself (haha I know).
About my personality..it's not very "solid". I don't think that's the right word but it's the best I've got right now. I'm different depending on how I feel that day. However, there are things that will always be there no matter what: sarcasm and awkwardness. So you'll never really know what to expect from me on a certain day. It all depends.
A few other random facts:
I am in no way athletic or coordinated. There are days when I get lucky and I'm able to throw and catch, but overall I fail at moving.
I was born here, but raised in China for the first three years of my life, so my Chinese is pretty good. Good enough, at least.
I've also studied Spanish in school since kindergarten, so I am slowly on my way to becoming trilingual :D (Yes, it's pretty sad that after 10 years I'm still not fluent, but the Spanish teacher who taught me never really taught anything new after 4th grade.)
I'm one of those people who can't think of what they're trying to think of at the moment, but any other time they can think of it right away. Does that make sense?
I CANNOT STAND when people on the streets randomly say "NI HAO!". Do they have any idea how annoying that is (besides just racist)?? If you really must know, most Chinese people can speak fluent English (especially at our age), thank you very much.
I love the smell of the air right after it rains. And chocolate.
I thought I posted... oh well.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know people actually did that [In reference to multiple Ni Haos]. I blame the little Korean girl on the tv.
lol yeah i hate when i am walking down the street and people shout Ni Hao at me ;-)
ReplyDeletexD i loveee the smell after it rains too!
