And interesting title, I know, but today was a bit of an interesting day

Today, I decided I was going to hit the Serbian extra hard after my workout, but I like to be able to flip through pages and do stuff other than stare at computer screens. So, I went to the library to find out if I could order some Serbian resources... And it turned out there was one! Already there! In the Princeton library. Princeton; Population: 956; 99.98% Caucasian; .02% other!

I thought that would be the strangest thing, so I did a bit of reading, and discovered a new Japanese group I like a lot. (SuG, you should look at them, they're so colorful!) and I got in a conversation with the librarian. We were talking about languages and stuff, and I hadn't notice that this guy had walked in and was quite intrigued by me, I suppose.

Anyway, the guy kept talking to me and eventually asked me if I wanted to walk around town with him. Awkwardly, and not wanting to reject the guy in front of 5 or 6 other people, I said yes. And so I spent two hours walking around with a boy named Justin who was quite obviously hitting on me, who was, in return, quite obviously not interested.

Turns out he was 17, a highschool drop out, living with a strange old man in our town, smokes and drinks. I was a little shocked, so I doubt we'll be meeting again any time soon, but he was actually pretty nice! I know I shouldn't judge a book by its cover or anything, but I want to avoid those sorts of lifestyles for a long time.

I posted a nervous tweet midway our hanging out session, and it was funny some of the replies I got! Alex, (the Swedish boy I mentioned before) said as follows;



It really made me laugh a lot, so I thanked him for the concern. But, the night ended without incident, and needless to say, I don't think I'll be spending anymore afternoons with Mr. Justin.

So, between boys and books, I think I enjoyed the book more! ㅋㅋㅋ

And now, I am off to prepare nine pages worth of flash cards for testing in the Anki program!

After quite a lot of internet digging I found a collection of free Serbian resources, so I'm very excited. I only opened the first pdf. so far it's 531 pages! I'll be busy for a while, haha! I also got a lot of colloquial resources, so I think it'll be really fun to start studying again. In other language news I arranged to send some Nesquik to my Swedish friend, Alex. He tried it in France when he was waiting at a friend's house for a kpop concert, but they don't produce it in Sweden! :o

Alex and I are also going to start sending each other letters, which I'm excited for. He offered to teach me some Swedish, so I better brush up on my Norwegian so I can at least guess what it says, haha! I haven't updated since I haven't done much yet. I've been writing a bit and updating a few stories that I have online and taking little writing requests from my tumblr followers, but nothing substansial.

I scanned some art yesterday though! This was my favorite, so I colored it in a bit on my computer. ^^

Other than that, we had a power outage for a bit. Nobody knows what caused it, but the entire town went completely out! It was the strangest thing! I'm glad power is back and working properly, but supposedly there's going to be a big storm. I only hope to survive. (||´д｀)

I just finished my last final. Biology was supposed to be the hardest, but I finished in about half an hour and then waited around for a bit before turning it in. Another hour until I'm officially on summer vacation it's back to the good ol' mill and grind of Korean lessons.

I'm working on them a bit now, and reviewing. Most of it's coming back to me now, like how to make negative verbal statements like, "Don't do that," or "Don't buy too much."

Korean's set up in a really sensible way.

All verbs are roots like "Hae-da" "Pogu-da" "Bogo-da" "Ship-da" so they can easily be put into sentences. Adding yo makes them in a presence tense, so "Bogoshipoyo" combines the verb for "want" and "see" making the sentence, "I want to see you." Which is the equivalent to, "I miss you."

Now, on the other hand, went making it negative, you have to add "Ji" in place of the "da" and finish it with "Maseyo." So, the opposite of "bogoshipoyo" is "Bogoshipji maseyo." And then adding clarifying words like "Ajik" or "Chogum" makes it more specific and can clear things up to the other party.

Does Finnish work like this? I think it's a lot more extensive and complicated! kk

In other news, B1A4's new video is out and Shinwoo looks perfect. vuv ;; From what little I heard, the lyrics are a little heavy, so hopefully it won't get banned!

Summer's fast approaching. I've never been so anxious for a school year to be over, yet still desiring for a longer term. I've really enjoyed this year, and getting a chance to meet with the both of you. This summer is going to be loads of fun, and we'll have a lot to talk about! This summer is going to be full of lots of language learning for the three of us. I suggest that we all compare grammar trends, and share what new words we learn! I wish Mrs. Laber luck with her Russian learning, and Alex doesn't need my well wishes for his Finnish, but I'll give them anyway.

Let's keep these blogs going for a long time; Throughout the next year too.
