"Da jia, Ni hao.
Well, what a full two weeks I had!
I began my last update, commanding you to come down to visit us. It
has been two weeks since that post and I know for a fat that you
haven't. For that, I am disappointed. I expect to see you soon.
We are in choir now. I really enjoy it.
I sold my iPod for $140 last week and I bought the iPod touch three
days ago. It will be here in a week and a half. Rumor has it that the
IT guys are about to switch to wireless in the dorms (Everyone knows
that it is just a matter of time because they installed all the
necessary hardware last year.). With the installation of the wireless
comes the ability to use my iPod in my room. Obviously, I won't be
able to listen to any music because I won't have headphones, but I
will be able to surf the web.
My computer came early last week, and I am typing this post with it.
I love it so much. It has this really cool feature that lets you
teleconference with other Mac owners. Unfortunately, it doesn't work
outside the BJ network because there are like a trillion firewalls.
If I ever go off campus with it, I will try to teleconference with
Liz. I am really excited about that.
I had my first Japanese class last week. The professor was a
missionary's son, so he speaks Japanese, Spanish and English. If any
of you know anything about Japanese, you know that it is very close
to Chinese. I knew this, too, and I thought that I was going to have
difficulty with keeping the languages separate, but it is really not
that hard. Japanese uses the chinese characters in one of their
alphabets (yes, they have more than one, four actually), so as I
learn Chinese, I am learning Japanese. There is a guy in my Chinese
classes who is taking Japanese with me, and we think it's really easy
because we are used to characters that have over 10 different
strokes, but most Japanese ones only have 2.
I recently got an email from one of my teachers informing that there
is a job opportunity at the Bob Jones University Press in the
editorial department as a proofreader. I took the qualifying test and
am waiting for a callback. I really want this job because it would
look good on a resume, it would be really fun (to me), and I would
gain a very helpful skill for my college years.
Prayer Requests:
I would find a good extension that I could really use my talents for
God.
I would get that job as a proofreader.
I would continually be in God's Word and prayer.
I love and miss you all, but now I am going to take a nap."
