So I found a few more helpful sites for achieving this goal.

http://www.mermagica.com sells tails for, at the cheapest, $125. The tails looked really nice—it’s worth checking out. (My personal favorites were the Vamp and Super Adult tails, both around $135.)

Here’s another page with instructions on making a tail:  http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Mermaid-Tail

And this tells you how to be a mermaid for places like Weekie Wachee Springs:  http://www.howtodothings.com/careers/how-to-become-a-mermaid

So I have two things to say in this entry.

The first is that a monofin is needed for the measurements for making a tail but I found some relatively affordable ones on amazon.com. Yes!! ^_ The reason why a monofin is needed, by the way, is because the monofin will be inside the tail, at the bottom by the fins. (I think this helps you swim in the tail or something, but I’m not exactly sure…)

The second is that I stumbled across this website: http://emilyangelfish.com/Mermaid_Tails.html . It’s got tails that are MUCH more affordable than the tails from FoxMoon Products. The least expensive is the basic tail, which is $189. The most expensive, which to my understanding is a tail that can be customized, is around $225.

The tails from Emily Angelfish even come with their own monofins, which I think is pretty cool, since I can’t remember if FMP’s tails did or not.

At the moment I still plan on making my own tail but I hope I can get a tail from Emily Angelfish.

I just registered for a beginning Mandarin class today! Yay!!! I’m a student at PCC, and even though the class isn’t at the campus I normally go to, it’s still pretty close. I missed the first day (the class is on Monday) but I feel pretty lucky to have been able to get in. I just hope I haven’t missed too much.

I’ve been interested in taking Mandarin for about four years now but I didn’t start trying to learn until around June or July of this year. This is cuz I was a sophomore in high school at the time and had just found out the school offered Mandarin. However I was already taking French by then so I wasn’t able to take the class.

I got Chinese for Dummies at Powells and started reading that. I’ve also gotten some free apps and podcasts for my phone. This has helped a little but I’m one of those people who learn certain things easier when someone is there to show them.

I know it’s a hard language to learn but I’m up for the challenge. I just hope I haven’t missed much from the first day, cuz this time, I get the feeling that not recieving the syllabus (which experience has taught me is where that term’s homework is listed) is the least of my concerns.
