That's annoying! History? That's a major that I thought about for a bit, when I was like LANGUAGES ARE TOO HARD, ME NO WANT. Not that History's not hard, it just comes to me more easily that languages. I hope you can get in touch with someone Mar!

Here's a list of languages I want to learn:

German (already know it, but I want to get better)
Japanese
Arabic
Gaelic (blame the celt in me!)

Apparently it's the only thing I'm good at lately.

Sounds like me attracting bad luck.

Hmm...hi all.

Languages I want to learn are in order of priority:

Mandarin Chinese (know some but want to know more)
Written Chinese
Cantonese Chinese
Tee chow Chinese

German
Japanese

At this stage in life I only know English and semi-fluent Mandarin Chinese, enough to communicate at least. I can read some Chinese but only the very basic characters unless I look them up using a dictionary of sorts...

So I guess if I could communicate in Cantonese Chinese that'd be really good for me.

Welcome Ling! Chinese is really interesting, a good friend of mine is fluent and has lived in China for about a year. He really loves it.

I study German and Japanese right now, and I'm picking up Spanish in the fall. If I had a list of languages I wanted to learn it would be

Japanese
German
Russian
Spanish
Arabic
French
Chinese
Korean
Italian

And that's it! I'm a languages major! I want to learn EVERYTHING! It's kind of bad actually, it leads to work overload.

I'm trying to decide if I want to major in languages or marine biology right now.

I want to learn (in no particular order)

Japanese
Arabic
Aramaic
Portuguese (I think it's prettier than Spanish, for some reason)
Korean
Indigenous languages
Icelandic
Finnish

*haven't read the rest of the posts yet* :lol:

That's interesting. I've actually never heard of people going to a therapist for anything other than mental health problems. And my brother was actually worse off after a bit of it. He had to take medications and such, and he was only going further downhill. So we took him off meds and everything and he's been way better since then. Getting cats again has been a huge help, too. He really loves them. :3

I think it's kinda cool that you would go to a therapist just to talk. I'm not sure it's something I'd look into, though. Mostly 'cause it costs a TON, and just because I feel like having someone like that is something I shouldn't go searching for. Nothing wrong with your way of it, but I think it'd just go downhill if I went off and just signed up for one. I think someone that acts as a mentor in your life is really important, but I'd rather it be someone that just shows up. :3

Okay. Now I've read the rest! :D

I can't make a list of languages I want to learn. I've tried, but it turns into me thinking I don't have enough and discovering even MORE languages to learn. So I just figure I'll learn whatever languages I find the opportunity to learn as they come up. Learning them at the same time is hard, but I'm willing to take challenges. ;)

Marguerite: I'm terrified of getting kicked out of my school for a GPA issue. 'Cause they have such an influence on the art world, I'm like "...what happens to me if I say I got kicked out? Will people think less of my work for it?" But I really need to cool it, 'cause I'm stressing out way too much over it and it's interfering with..well...my general well-being. If I did get kicked out, though, I don't think I'd switch to anything. I'm determined to learn and study animation, but I would definitely need to find a new way to do so. School-wise, though, *hypothetically* I'd probably take a year or two off to focus on myself and goals while I tried to pay off all the loans I took and then go to the school I live by and focus on a Fine Arts or Graphic Arts degree and take a language minor. And definitely take them up on their study abroad opportunities, because my friends all go to that school and are looking into them now (one is actually in Sweden right now). Soo...>.> I'm just taking things as they occur and whatever happens happens. I'm just gonna try not to stress so much over them anymore.

I go to a therapist because I have so many issues, not because I need someone to just talk to. I usually use my sister for that. Although I've been doing better, so I haven't gone in a few months. Plus, I moved so I have to change therapists. Ugh.

And it is hard to find the right therapist. I feel like I've moved beyond my last one (She was a child psychiatrist, but I'm 20 now) so I'm sort of glad I moved. Forces me to find someone new.

Haha! I think you guys misunderstood me! I don't go to my therapist for mental health reasons, or for a mentor, or to have someone to talk to. I go to explore my mind, to realize not just what I think, but why I think it. I think that understanding your internal motivations is actually really helpful in avoiding any kind of emotional problems.

@Waif: I understand! Finding someone that matches up with you in the right way is difficult.

Ohhh I see. >.< I'm afraid of exploring my mind. It's a scary world that defies laws of reality and is overrun with characters that try to kill me every time I go too far. BUT it's okay because they always got my back when I need to do something creative. :3

Haha~ I like exploring my mind, it makes me realize that I'm kind of an interesting person! Also, every time I look at your avi it makes me even more excited for the Harry Potter premiere~!

That sounds like a fun reason to explore your mind. :D haha well, I'll still stick to my own way of doing things. Saves me money. >.>

YES! I'm glad! That's what it's there forrr!~

Haha! Oh yeah I totally understand, it's not for everyone. And a good therapist is kind of prohibitively expensive. I mean, it's half price for me since I'm a uni student, but I still have to cancel some weeks because I don't have the 50 bones. Lame!

Yeah, so.... ahem, I totally get it. Just explaining what my deal is lol.

Sleep now. Night uni students thread!

*is back again*

Alrighty! Night BC!

And hello, Taiyo! :D

Hullo Starr

NOT ENOUGH TALKING :evil:

Haha, I'm off for the day, but when I get back I'd love to hear about er'rebodies day. Just saying.

Oooh, I like this thread. I've always thought about making a thread for uni students, but I'll crash this one instead.

I currently have a tonne of work due in like the next week and more. So stressful. x.x

By the way, I'm in my second year out of three and I'm at uni in England. :)

I went out to a bar for the 1st time last night. It was...interesting. Then I went to the late-night Barnes&Noble to go hang out with my bro coz I had a feeling we were both there (and yep he was).

And then this morning my mom came into my room while I was "sleeping" friggen I can hear her and now she's yellin at me. Like wtf it's 6:51 in the morning and I have a friend sleeping over. My aunt was like "you didn't ask her permission to go out." I CLEARLY notified my mom of this stuff 2 days ago and right now I have no idea wtf her problem is, but I really wanna go back to sleep.

hehe I have EVERYTHING due this week. Luckily, nothing actually due Monday, but I still have to act like it is. >.< ugh.

I have a ton of big projects due at the beginning of December. And NaNo! Argh.

hehe, I'm building my online YGO decks. Working on my Fairies now

Ya. I'm screwed. I should go jump off a building and break my leg or something. Then maybe my teachers would feel sorry for me and let me turn everything in on Thursday for full credit. >.>

HAH Like that would happen. My Color Theory teacher would submit some sort of notice advising the school to kick me out. :illgetu:

Color Theory? What's that?

And is your professor that bad?
