My decision: Japanese and Chinese. So this is going to be a hard semester… especially since my finals (all 4 of them) are located within a period of 6 days. xD

How I did it: I had some friends to teach me all the steps in a very memorable way. After she taught me how to solve a layer, I would scramble the cube and work my way back up to that layer again. I did this a few times until I felt secure with that layer. Then I moved on to the next layer, ect. Read how I did it…
Alhambra, Generalife and Albayzín, Granada
http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/314
I’ve been dying to go to the Alhambra for several years so while I was on vacation in southern Spain with my mom and bother we decided to go there. It was better than I expected. Lots of great views, interesting architecture and the walls were covered in arabic scriptures. :D
One year in and I can’t believe how fast time goes. I’ve made so many friends both Swedish, studying Japanese, and Japanese. It’s been a great year but right now I’m at a crossroads.
My reason for learning Japanese except that I love the language was so that I could start a diplomacy programme. Turns out that they didn’t have Japanese in the entrance exams for 2011 (but they did in 2010). This year I applied for Chinese classes, and got accepted. But now I don’t know if I should stick with Japanese, switch to Chinese (to be able to join the diplomacy programme) or try to study them both at the same time. decisions (>~< )
Although first things first, I have an exam coming up in 11 days. x’P
