hey how are you
I'm good. How are you?
tired and cold but thats just finals
I'm tired from finals also. Almost done though.
lol classes are finals are just starting
All my finals are on Friday. Which is nice because I'll be done at the end of this week, not so nice since they are all on the same day.
HOW MANY DO YOU HAVE?! IF THAT LEGAL?! ARE YOU OK?!
Just two. I'm fine.
oh ok sorry i have five and so i was picturing 5 in a day
Five on one day would be killer.
and i nearly died on your behalf exactly
If I had five on all on Friday I probably wouldn't get any sleep this week.
i think its against uni policy
It probably is.
you get permission to move 3
If I had a superpower I would want the ability to turn back time. Not a whole bunch, just like 15 seconds or so. Enough time to go back and fix little mistakes, avoid a crash Plus it isn't an obvious superpower so you wouldn't have to worry about people coming after you.
thats true id prefer to just freeze time not to do anything remarkable but to like take a nap
That would be pretty useful.
1 sec real world time but a sold 12 hours for me like thats what i really want nap time as a super power
That is a pretty good super power.
ikr urs is too
What is your major?
IR u?
Computer science.
cool my cousin is thinking about switching his major to that
IR is international relations?
ya
Interesting, what kind of jobs would you do?
diplomat foreign services has always been the dream
I imagine that being a diplomat could be interesting and exciting. Though I think in reality most days would probably be paperwork.
haha no ive met diplomats it depends on your track administrative yes but im planning to test into the political track so thats more meeting with leaders and negotiating policies some desk time but less so than a comp sci job ;)
Yep, C S is lots of desk time. Do you speak a foreign language? Since I imagine that would help with international negotiations.
Yes I consider myself fairly fluent in French and am minoring in mandarin but early stages there haha
That is pretty neat. I understand that mandarin is fairly hard to pick up. How is that going?
well its been a rough semester across most my subjects, but i think im starting to get it.  I can understand more than i can speak at this point (tones man) but from what i hear learing a 3rd language is easier than a 2nd
No personal experience here, but I've heard that too. I imagine it is true, since you've already learned how to learn another language.
ya something with the neuropathways i think thats why i wanted something not latin based bc if i get my "language learning base" diverse enough then grabbing 4, 5, 6 from the rest of the planet shouldnt be too hard
That would be pretty neat knowing all those languages.
ya i love language
I've often thought about, if I was to learn a 3rd language what I would learn.
la francais est belle zhong wen hen hao lol what two do you know now?
English and Spanish.
oh nice! If you wanted an easy third language french and italian are really similar to spanish. my roommate is peruvian and about 40% of the time when she slips into spanish i can still follow and keep up
True.
if u want to learn more than three and so want a diverse language base, any of the asian languages would be sufficiently different
I have thought about Japanese, because my wife speaks it.
korean ive heard is fairly simple and idk if its tonal oh ya learning ur wife's language would be smart haha japanese ive heard is really hard though the grammar is super complex, i think it might be tonal, and the characters are based off chinese but changed and in chinese 1 character=1 syllable not in japanese
Well they have three alphabets.
3? ok i didnt know that and that makes it sound worse
One is based off chinese characters, one uses roman characters, and I don't recall the third.
oh the romanized version is likely like chinese pinyin where it works for pronunciation, but if japanese is tonal (i cant recall if it is) then its not really understandable but ya chinese has a romanized version as well so most can speak more than they can write unless they're a native speaker
Well I have to go. Good luck with finals. I'm sure that you're going to do great.
