I had my first dream in Chinese the other night, I think it happened because people were talking about having Chinese dreams and I felt left out.

It was awesome...It took place at AmPm, in California... (.....)
For some random reason the Ampm lady was Chinese and couldn't speak English, and for some reason the slurpy machine was behind the counter and not self-serve.... (w0w...I know)
And so this random person needed my help to tell her she wanted a large purple slurpy.
(I think I was just desperate to have a Chinese dream too)

So my dorm room has smelt like pot for like....three days (...hmmmm......)
and then my cute innocent looking little Korean roommate has been VERY happy for like......three days. I duuuunooo....


On a more serious note, class is bringing me down...
I've begun sounding like a Russian when I speak Chinese. Now, I have theories but first let me just say that this is no joke. I used to be told by Chinese people that I had nearly no accent speaking Chinese, and even my teacher (who is not given to flattery) gave me a few pats on the back. Now, I am in class all day long with like fifteen other Russians, and all day long I hear them kill the Chinese language (I love Russians, don't think that I don't, and I've heard some who speak Chinese amazingly). But, my pronunciation has begun declining listening to them speak all day long, as I'm very easily influenced by accents...

So....three foreigners who I've spoken Chinese to have thought I was Russian because I sound like a Russian speaking Chinese, and a couple Chinese people didn't quite believe me when I was swearing that I was an American and not a freakin' Eluosi!

I think that I need to get me some Chinese peng you's.

The end.
