I’m awful at languages, specifically memorization, I’ve picked up bits and pieces while traveling of perhaps 10 different languages, but fluency is another thing in itself. (I’m much better with numbers!!—this was just how I was wired) It’s a nice idea, but not realistic. However, if I ever live in a non-English speaking country (which I hope i do!), I’ll make it a priority to learn that language.
A few weeks back, I got the reviews back on a manuscript I submitted for publication… Addressing all the reviewer concerns has been consuming my life… However, things look promising—all three reviewers recommend it for publication, but it’s the associate editor who makes the final decision. Once I re-submit the revised version, I’ll know shortly whether it will be published. Fingers crossed.
