Interesting experience with languages. I’m assuming English was the one you were born with?
I was raised for a few years speaking Mandarin, but I was switched onto English once I started preschool. By now, I’ve forgotten most of my Mandarin; but I can at least understand most of it when I hear it being spoken. Currently, I’m learning Latin as it is a requirement of my school curriculum haha. It’s difficult, but I’m getting the hang of it sort of.Intriguing. Haha, I know how that is. Sometimes I like to trick my friends into asking VERY specific questions about whatever I’m working on, just so I can UNLOAD twenty minutes of creative ranting haha. It’s exhilerating, but also, as it turns out, not great for writing. Because if you get a writer’s high before you even finish your work, then there’s no motivation afterwards. It was a major revelation when I discovered that that was what I had been doing essentially all my life haha. Now I *try* to be a little more secretive. But it’s hard not to share your genius, you know?
Yeeeeep! Haha, it’s definitely a satirical game. There’s no winning in the socialist system literally until you cheat. 😉 I haven’t played it yet, but I plan to on Monday. I think it’s shorter because there’s only four players allowed? I was interested in it because I have strong opinions on socialism, and my dad thought it’d make a funny gift haha
Thanks! I think we’re all improving by now. The kids are eating and playing (and louder) again; and I’m coughing up a lot of phlegm, which I think is a sign I’m running towards the end of it? Anyway, I should be fine by Monday, which is my last debate meeting for the year — exciting!
