So now that I'm a full time employee I've gotten a lot busier (I'm learning Chinese) and haven't had the energy to share my stories. That makes me sad.
Go here and check out my friend Jamie's blog. Interesting take from a girl trying to make it in the big city. Contrast it with my sis-in-law's blog and you've got both sides of the spectrum covered.
Side note about my Sister-In-Law's blog. If you didn't come to my Blog from her's then you need to know its all about her kids. It is because of her son that it will appear that I will live for an unbelievably long time, because somehow at 3.5 he looks more like me than I did when I was 3.5! Also her daughter hates me because I refused to hold her as an infant because I thought she was too fragile for me to handle. I hope some day she will be able to recognize this kind act as something that contributed to her success in life.
A few realization I've had over the past two weeks...
I've never met a Japanese person who is remotely close to being rude or a jerk. They are the nicest people I've ever met; so polite! I think the closest is one of my best friends Marcos (His name is actually Marcus but...you know what I'll save that for the next post.) but he's half German so its a push. But his Mother (Full blood Japanese) is an absolute sweetheart!
In Japan a Corn Dog is called an "American Dog" and the Japanese that I know love 'em! I also am told that they are 50 times better in America.
Chinese is hard!
Now that my birthday is creeping up I'm realizing I never thought I would ever be 25. Until now, a week and a half before my 25 birthday I was never able to picture myself as 25. It is kind of tripping me out that at 25 I'm feeling the same as I did at 21. The only difference is that I have a college degree, a job, and drink less Busch Light. (Yes, I said "less")

You're almost a quarter of a century! So OLD! And I have confidence that Sydney will soon come around to love you as her brother does. If only for the fact that you look like a big version of her brother. ;) Good luck with the Chinese.
So proud of you for keeping up with the Chinese. Hooray for Rosetta Stone :)
Why do you have to learn Chinese? You never put much effort into learning spanish so I am a little bit worried, but good for you, for taking on such a difficult language at such an old age.-Tara
