Whew! I finally managed to finish the stupid Chinese zhouji. Being sucky in Chinese, I had to take the extra step of writing something down in English before translating it to Chinese.
I must be a pretty shitass translator, because the 245-word English tidbit more than doubled to become 600 words in Chinese. This goes to show how puerile and childlike my command of the Chinese language is, such that I can’t even describe abstract ideas with one word.
I am ashamed to say that translating it and re-copying it onto my composition pad took me all of today. *red-faced* Little kids reading this, please don't neglect your chinese so you can finish a shitty chinese composition in 2 hours, tops, not *stops to count* 5 hours...
YES I TOOK FIVE BLOODY HOURS TO DO THAT DAMNED THING SO HEDACHENG BETTER APPRECIATE IT OR ELSE I AM GONNA SLAP HIM WITH THE ENGLISH VERSION.
But slapping him with a piece of char siew is funnier. Meh. It's difficult to be angry, the choices you have to make just to slap someone!
If he fails me I am going to submit an english piece as a joke.
Maybe in Shakespearean language while I am at it...Hmm...
Speaking of Shakespeare, I haven't done that art review on Much Ado About Nothing. I suppose I really am not an auditory person because my attention kept wandering. However, if they had given me a script, maybe I would enjoy it so much more.
Like Midsummer Night's dream. I enjoyed it because I am familiar with the script, but the atmosphere was a little too conducive because it micmicked my sleeping environment a little too well. Minus the people in costumes prancing around though, but I must say what goes on in my head stays in my head, lest everyone is swayed by the awesome powers of isomnia I have.
I shall now do my last jian bao. God I hate those damned things.
P.S. I bought a classic for $4.90! That is incredibly cheap considering the average price is $26. Okay, fine, it was a Penguin Classic, but I like cheap classics that go easy on the wallet and great on the mind. The Scarlet Letter, one more notch on my brainpost!
