A wild Emy appeared!

Hey, I'm Emy. I was dragged into here by Ryu.

Anyways, general stuff about me!

- I am eighteen years old
- I live on the east coast of the United States.
- I am first generation Chinese American.
- My parents are from Hong Kong and speak Cantonese.
- My paternal family is from Nanjing.
- I am an East Asian Studies major.
- I take Chinese and Japanese language together.
- I am hoping for a Latin minor.
- I am not fluent in any of the following languages but I have taken at least a little of each : French (ten years), Latin (four years), German (two years), Spanish (one year), Korean (one semester).
- I really, really like language.
- Like, really, really, really.
- I do creative writing in my free time, mainly fantasy but some sci-fi.
- I'm kind of awkward except when I'm not.

And.. That's about it for now!

=) Thanks!

Hi, ReD! =D It's nice to meet you too!

Yeah, sometimes I'm not sure if I count as east coast anymore either.. I live in northern Virginia but I go to college in central Ohio.

Eh, I went to a private school for K-8th. They stuck us all into French to start with and then into Latin in seventh grade. I continued French through freshman year in high school before dropping it. I carried Latin into sophomore year because that was the highest level they offered.

German was because I suddenly realized that without Latin, I'd be without language for the first time in my entire school life. Spanish was because I didn't want to take Calculus in senior year and I figured that no admissions office would turn down a transcript with ten foreign language credits but only three math.

Mandarin is because I'd be ashamed to call myself Chinese without being able to speak at least one dialect. Japanese is because I really like anime and manga. My short stint in Korean was because I figured I might as well hit up on all the east Asian languages offered at my college.

>.< That's kind of a long explanation, sorry... But um. I like being able to read across many languages, even if my speaking is poor.

aha, thanks =) I'm sure I'll be seeing you around pretty frequently.
