^ It ate my comment!

SO! This is Meli of the indefinitely-hiatused-autumn-sky, glad that Amanda hasn’t dropped off the face of the earth!

Blah blah, there was more, I just can’t remember what. So hi :)

OH MY GOODNESS. So today, I’m staring at my feed reader wondering WHERE ON EARTH did Amanda go? She hasn’t updated her blog in forever.

Ohhhh.

Haha, I can imagine that conversation… reminds me of my dad trying to explain to a doctor in Italian how sinuses can be damaged by a plane landing sharply if you have a cold/blocked nose.

He did the hand motion of a plane and everything - I almost expected him to run around with his arms outstretched.

Saying that, his Italian is extremely good - he lived in Italy for 10 years of his life, but he just forgets really easily ¬_¬

That’s awesome. I might take a Cantonese class next semester. The professor here is such a cute, little, old Chinese man.

Oooh that’s so cool how you’re so proficient with Mandarin! I only know spoken Cantonese and only colloquially at that. >_>

I’ve had some odd looks around here; I tend to start a sentence in Dutch and switch to English without noticing it, until I realize people are looking at me funny…

It’s good to know your hard work has paid off though :D

Languages! Yay! I think it’s rewarding to find you can learn a language even though you’re supposedly passed the “I’m a kid sponge who can learn any language in 6 months” age. And it’s cool that you’re mum is taking classes to learn another language, wish I had more in common with my mum.

That’s great! :) I guess it’s good to know that you can learn languages better than ones you grow up speaking, so it’s not like you’ll never succeed at learning a language because you don’t already know it. That doesn’t even make sense, but that sure is my French class’s attitude. :|

If this whole comment doesn’t make sense… I’m sort of sleepy. Stayed up too late and woke up too early. :(
