Looking to the future

Had a nice lie-in this morning. There really is nothing better than waking up with the person you love, cuddling closer, and then going back to sleep. Mmmm. Felt so good. I am desperately trying not to think of all the work I will have to do in the upcoming week. It's much nicer to live in the moment and pretend life can go on with this lazy pace

Two years of Chinese class taught me something - I will probably never be fluent, but I can try haha.

But pronunciation takes a long time to develop, so don't feel ridiculous. Tones are really, really hard when you first start out. :)

Basic phrase time! How much of the following can you read? Or do you just know some pinyin? (I spent half a semester in nothing BUT pinyin, thank you Chinese teachers).
你好！我叫凯丽，你的名字是什么？ ：D

Oh I only was reading and pronouncing the phonetic english-spelled version. Lol. The next lesson was the characters and I was like "OH GOD, ANOTHER DAY" and paused it haha! However, I do remember that "nu" is woman and "nen" is men and food is fan and tai is vegetables. And that is what I learned. Hehe

Oh God. I want to Pinyin-ize everything. Having it just written as that is throwing me off. >.>;

Characters haha. Simplified ftw when you don't want to write out 30 strokes. But no, really, characters are fun AND frustrating. I spent four semesters slaving away over them. :D
