So I am not that crazy right? ;) at least there are 14 other people who also want to do this. I am a native Chinese speaker (traditional characters!) and I also speak English (moved to the U.S. at 11). This is my fifth year taking French and I just started Arabic this semester. I am going to study abroad in both France and an Arabic-speaking country. I took 2 years of Spanish in high school and I am studying that by myself right now. I am also studying Japanese by myself. I can read a lot of Spanish and Japanese but I can’t really produce sentences. As for Russian… I did memorize all the Russian alphabet when I was 14 but now I forget them all. Perhaps I should start on Russian soon :)

I don’t even know how I began to like him. Ever since I came here I see him all the time in the computer lab. At first he’s just like everyone else who goes there all the time. I had talked to him several times before but I didn’t even know his name. Then, late this semester, I suddenly started to think about him a lot. It is still a mystery to me how that happened. I think it was the music that he was playing, or whatever. Maybe I fell for the “atmosphere.” And he is quieter, which makes me think that we may have a lot of common points. Yesterday, I went to the computer lab to study, and then all of a sudden he came in. I looked at him for several seconds and was going to talk to him. He also looked at me. However, I eventually shifted my glance and lowered my head back to my book. I was going to ask him about how the psychology test went, but I guess I was too shy. If I didn’t like him, I would have asked him. There are only two days left of school and I think it is a little bit too late. If he’s living here again next year, maybe I’ll try to talk to him more.
I just can’t stop thinking about him. I hope this is just a crush and that I will forget him soon. I think with my lack of confidence no guy would like me, at this point. It would save me a lot of trouble and sadness if I could just stop thinking about him.
I think one way I can do this is to talk to the international students at my dorm and try to be friends with them, or maybe meet some people online, but I don’t do webcam that sort of thing so it might be a problem. But I think people can still be friends without knowing what each other looks like. I have one internet pal and one pen pal, and another person that I talk to through messenger, and they are all good friends from different countries. I think it’s a very enriching experience and I really want to meet more people.
