This is a must for me 10 months ago

because I intend to get a job in and move to Beijing once I graduate. Although I wouldn’t need to know Chinese to communicate with my co-workers, I definitely need to learn some basic Mandarin in order to get around town, shop, eat out and so on.

It would be lovely to learn how to read & write as well, but I need to spend my first year there getting the hang of my job, so I will be happy just learning enough to get by.

stop watching so much tv

Untitled 10 months ago

Getting there. I am getting rid of the telly in my room today which should make a big difference. Especially since the TV in the living room doesn’t have cable (so there isn’t anything good to watch anyway). I really need to spend more time studying and doing “important” things.
