that sounds great Jess. I hope you go through with your plans and do really really well!

I'm the same, a language geek. i took two languages inside of school, along with about Five others outside of school!

Y'see, thats why the guy who invented time difference is going to be hunted down by everyone and killed. :P Sucks, dosnt it?

Anyway, good luck! :D

thanks! me too! it's quite exciting, :]

seven languages?! wow! just out of interest, what did you do?

haha, time differences suck! japan is only like two hours behind australia, i think, so calling home could prove to be rather difficult. ;] hmm, let's go and hunt the idiot down! *evil laugh*

I did German, Italian, French, Swedish, Spanish, Norweigan(only for a year though, I'm pretty crapola at it!) and Dutch :)

We're being pretty sexist about the dude who invented Time Difference. What if it was a dudesse? :P Actually no... :P

I'm a language geek too! You are so lucky to have that chance to travel. You really have no idea....I'd love to see Europe, and maybe, make new friends while there, maybe even meet you in England while I'm at it. LOL. Who knew two gals with CP would have this in common?

Anyway, I'm thrilled for you. Keep me posted! :-)

hehe, i've always wanted to come to the us, too! i have friends who used to live in texas, and i'm insanely jealous! :p

i'm hoping that i'll be allowed to go - depending what course i take, i'll be off in three or four years' time (either second or third year of uni), so there's plenty of time for my mother to get her head around the idea!

i know... i will keep you posted! i'll know at least by the end of the year if i actually get to go, but i'll probably still post about it here... it's so scary, but i'm also incredibly excited. it'll be an amazing opportunity. :]

italian and chinese / / japanese

Seems like an awesome pick to me! Japanese seems specially complex, which is why I really admire people who study and can actually handle the language. Cool stuff.

I love foreign languages :D I really admire people who know more than one, two, or even three. That is really amazing. Knowing them opens a lot of doors all over the world. &heart
