The First Entry

I just got done with my first quarter of chinese. But anyways, there’s alot of things I want to do. Like for example do research on certain subjects and write a book. Like, since I’m staying in Japan next year, I think a really good thing for me to do is keep a daily blog to record my experiences there. Then at the end of the year I can look back on my travels and write a book. It would be called something like Gaijian Power or how ever you spell it. I think writing a book would be a good idea because it could serve as a constant and occasional supply of income. One of the professors here warns me to not pursue translations saying he’s done it before and warning me “there’s no money in that, believe me I know”. Yeah right when you write a book and you make money even if it’s not best selling-wise it’s still alot. Besides, how much is no money to you? You probably were born into wealth and to you a couple thousand or so dollars is nothing. And if it isn’t profitable, why are you continuing to translate books?

ok now to write down some random thoughts because I guess that’s what journals are for anyways. My vocabulary has become sooo low since high school, i hate it. Some of my teachers that are foreign even have a wider english vocabulary than me. That’s embarrasing. Hmm i kinda don’t feel like writing that much anymore maybe later.
