I have class in about a half an hour and three final papers due today. The last thing I should be doing right now is looking at stuff online and blogging, but alas, here is a funny cartoon (warning: this cartoon is slightly inappropriate, perhaps rated PG-13, just so you know. It's not that bad though):
Natalie Dee: "merica"
Anyway, my papers are going well. My first paper due is my World Language Policy class paper. It is a language policy brief on China. I already did a first draft for this and got an A+ on it, so I just had to make a few minor changes. My second paper is for my writing class. It's a paper about the book Everything is Illuminated by Jonathon Safran Foer (was recently made into a movie with Elijah Wood). We have been working on this paper for what seems like forever now and it is pretty much done too. I'm not sure if it came together as well as I would have liked, but I think it's good enough. And my last paper for today is for my Language in US society class. I am writing about bilingualism's effect on third-language acquisition (or multilingualism's effect on additional language acquisition). I just started it this morning, but I am already half way through and it is coming along remarkably well. Also, yesterday was my Spanish final which consisted of me going into my professor's office and chatting it up with him for 10 minutes. It's probably the easiest "test" I've ever taken. Everyone in the class was assigned a topic to prepare to talk about with him, but when I came in he said, "bah, we don't need to talk about that. I already know that your Spanish is fantastic. So just tell me, why did you become interested in languages?" Yeah, it was cool. He's a really neat teacher and it's too bad I won't be having any more classes with him in the future. He's kind of mean sometimes and I think he scares/intimidates a lot of the kids in our class, but I think he's really smart and cool.
Well, enough time management for now. Back to work.

FYI - Dear Abby the other day had a whole column about being careful what you put in your blog because prospective employers often Google people they are looking to hire and find and read their blogs. Although, I guess that might be a good screening tool to keep you from going to work for someone with unacceptable political leanings.... So, more cartoons!!!
Luckily you would have to know my Chinese name to find my blog, so chances are good that they won't find it. That's a good point to keep in mind though. Thanks for the tip.
FYI, here's the first thing they would find if they googled me.
