As the Year of the Tiger rolled around this lunar year, it got me thinking-- actually, rethinking. In my first quarter of Vietnamese last year, I came to the realization that we are the future in terms of culture. Thay Tri, my teacher, had said he was really sad about thinking about the next generation. He feels the ability to speak Vietnamese in ( Read more... )

What could I possibly mean by my subject title? Well, let me tell you a short story of how I wasted my time last night. My homepage is always set to Yahoo! so I tend to read whatever articles are present. One article concerned Bruce Jenner, who is the 1976 Olympic gold medalist in the decathlete. I was curious because I've heard his name thrown ( Read more... )
