A bit about me? Oh you...
Alrighty then, I graduate in three weeks. Three mere weeks separate me from an endless month of book editing and Korean drama binge watching, but mostly the editing. I hope. After that month, I am leaving for college. Now before you laugh and roll your eyes at my university *cough* University of Hawai'i at Manoa *cough* allow me to stress that I am going because it is the best school for my studies.
Ha.
But seriously, an island school is just plain cool. Aside from the obvious perks of Hawai'i, I do have a rationale for enrolling. I am studying Japanese, to be a translator, and this is the only American college that is surrounded by said culture and has the absolute best program in said language. I also want to study Korean, maybe translate one day, and most colleges do not even know that language can be a major. Ask most if they have a Korean program. They laugh. They ask why someone would want to study Korean. I do not laugh. I am hurt by the lack of languages taught. Sigh, 'murica, land of Americanese.
Anyways, Japanese is the focus, Korean is the minor. Theatre might show its head, but only if I have time, and only if musicals are involved.
Also! An interesting fact about me: I hate centipedes.
Interesting fact about Hawai'i: They have quite a bit of centipedes.
Expect a "Centipedes of Hawai'i" page dedicated to these disgusting creatures, and other odd bugs I'm sure will cause me to curse loud and proud as I run in the opposite direction.
