Hmmm what is wrong with my brain today, I meant "Chinese people I met understood English" and I'm planning to learn swimming AFTER I graduate.

I think I need a brain rest.
Lol I was super confused there for a second... "But... Why would she not want to learn how to swim after she graduates...?"

Yup, most Chinese people understand and can even speak English... they just choose not to.
My grandfather never spoke a word of english to me while he was alive, but my mother heard him speaking in perfect english to someone else when he thought none of us were around :p.

Oh and flying is something that would be fun to do. Not by transportation, but actual flying.
But hey, God didn't design us to fly, so no need to reminisce about it :D

I've always wanted to speak another language. I speak spanish fluently but always wanted to learn how to speak Italian. I also want to learn how to play the guitar & I want to be an advanced registered nurse practitioner.

World Domination...except that would be mean and un-Christlike... It's really just the thought of being pitted against the entire Earth in seemingly unbeatable odds and still being able to overcome everything and 'come out on top' so to speak...

"You have become the WORLD CHAMPION...of EVERYTHING...!!! X0"



"For my first act as Supreme Commander...everyone get's a grocery bag of their favorite food!"

"..but sir, that would cost..."




*time passes*

"Good job, ladies & gentlemen! Have some candy!"

I don't see anything wrong with being pitted against the world. I've always thought of my life as a me vs the world type of situation. It wouldn't be a fair fight otherwise.

Run. I've never been able to run or even jog. It would be great to be able to join a running club.

I think you should find a friend at your fitness level and start jogging together. Joining a club is a good idea too. I've been running regularly for years now, but when I first started it was difficult. What seems to work for a lot of people is to try to jog slowly for one to two minutes and then walk a few minutes. Keep repeating that till you are too tired to continue. Each time you run try to extend the jogging intervals for a little longer each time. Before you know it you'll be needing to take less and less walking breaks. I think another tip is to start really SLOW:) it's so easy to start at too quick of a pace and then feel really winded. I'd say the first few minutes of a jog are the toughest to get your breathing in rhythm and blood flowing. If you give yourself a few minutes to slowly ease into your jog it will make the rest of the run easier

Thanks Pink Diamond. Unfortunately it is something I can't do. My joints have always been too loose to have the capacity to run. I admire it and enjoy walking but running would destroy the cartilage in my joints. I do appreciate your heart in trying to help. It says a lot about your character. :)
