So I haven't updated in a really long time! Oops.
I had a saved draft lying around from last semester. It was kind of reassuring to see that my goals haven't changed all that much over the past six months. They've just gotten a bit more specific and a bit more focused (they could stand to get a bit more focused, though)
In the meantime, I've done some things!
I finished my thesis and graduated with a BA in Linguistics. I studied Korean for 2 months over the summer as part of the CLS program. I can say with confidence that I'm fluent in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and French, and nearly there in Arabic.
Now I'm in Beijing, but not for too much longer. I was supposed to be here for a year, but three months later it turns out that wasn't such a good idea, so I'm leaving next week.
There's a lot more to it than that, and I have plans for the next few months and stuff, but I don't want to blow off too much blogging steam in one go, especially since I'll be on the road again in a week.
