I'm such a spazz
Okay, so I get out of Japanese at 9:50, like any other MWF. I have a Chinese conversation practice (I forgot to put that chair i sat in back in its place. :/ ) in ten minutes, but decide to head over there anyway; if I'm early, I can just wait outside or something. Anyway, that goes well. I'm good enough at Chinese that I could switch into it from any language. What happened afterwards is my reason for feeling like a spazz: As I leave Evergreen,* I run into my Japanese TA. I try to speak to him in Japanese. The first words out of my mouth: "Wo ga- sumimasen, chuugokugo ni-" Oh shit, I don't know how to say, "thinking, zenme sh- dou iimasuka?" If you're confused, I just started speaking Chinese to my Japanese TA. Eventually, I gave up on Japanese, because the order in which stuff pops into my head is English, followed very closely by Chinese, with Japanese trailing far behind. I was so embarrassed that I just couldn't switch gears like that. Being trilingual is hard, yo.
*I know now why they put the Asian studies department in Evergreen. The clearance on those stairs bottoms out at lower than six feet. I was scared I'd get my head chopped off. Definitely a building made for short people, a.k.a. Asians.
