Okay, so to start this post, I just need to ramble about how crazy my life is at the moment. I study hard, really hard, for all my classes–but especially Korean. I know how much work learning a new language is. Problem is, I actually can remember some words and sentences and get pretty good grades in the class. Turns out that not everyone likes that. I hate being hated for working hard!!! I don’t know if anyone else has ever experienced this? We have to choose a Korean name too… and I have sort of… been unable to do so. I don’t feel like I deserve a name that means “beautiful” or “smart” … or anything else. I feel like if I picked a name that I’d be judged on that too (“oh she’s so full of herself…”)
</rant>
Anyway! I think I’m on the verge of dropping Japanese for now. I don’t know. I’m finding learning Korean more rewarding at this point (but, I don’t know if I just want to take the whole Japanese thing slower, or drop it altogether). I wish I had parents around to ask about things like this. I know it’s “my life” but being completely on my own (no parents or siblings) is sometimes pretty hard. I feel like I miss out on a lot of guidance and support. I don’t really know anyone to ask about this stuff.
So, I’m pretty tired and wondering if I’m doing the right thing:
a) trying to become fluent at all
b) thinking about dropping Japanese
and c) seriously considering trying to go to Korea for a while after I graduate…
I sometimes wish someone would just hand me a guidebook to my life!! Heh!! >.<
Now for the video of today:
울쟁이와개구리 – Tadpole/frog song
개울가에 올챙이 한마리 꼬물꼬물 헤엄치다,
뒷다리가 쏘옥 앞다리가 쏘옥 팔딱팔딱 개구리 됐네,
꼬물꼬물 꼬물꼬물 꼬물꼬물 올챙이가,
뒷다리가 쏘옥 앞다리가 쏘옥 팔딱팔딱 개구리 됐네
