I appreciate all the comments on my last entry with my asking of sites for Chinese language packs. The one I'm using is doing okay, hopefully I can find a good one soon. ^_^

I realize I am not fluent enough to write full sentences in Chinese yet, please be patient with me, beautiful Chinese pals! :D 谢谢！

In one year I think I will be able to start posting Chinese because I am going to China! =) I will be a foreign exchange student in China my senior year of highschool*** I will be in China for five months and try my best to learn Chinese while I'm there. I will also go in college, so that is why I'm only staying five months. ^_^;;;

But I am very worried about school. >_< That is the only thing making me reconsider. I hear Chinese schools are very difficult. I struggle enough with American schools! Are Chinese schools as difficult as I heard they were? Is math and science really that high of a priority there? Because I'm very bad at both!!! X_X

zaijian. =P

***in America we call secondary school 'high school' and we attend four years instead of three.
year 1: Freshman
year 2: Sophmore
year 3: Junior
year 4: Senior

Congratulation!!! I hope that you are going to enjoy your adventure of studying in China's high school!

I’m very curious about what kind of school you are going to? International or local high school? Because in China’s normal local high school, all kind of courses are in Mandarin except for English. How are you going to survive in that kind of situation? If you are going a international one, though all of the classes are in English, how much Chinese are you going to learn? I am not trying to discourage you, I’m just being curious.
