Pretty Much Nothing At All

So classes are starting soon, yay. Have been reading Rachel Cohn's Very LeFreak starring a young lady who is a technology addict. Am slightly worried as to how much I can understand her feelings. :/ It's reminding of the time my mom threatened to send me to an Internet addiction camp.

Recently discovered this intriguing new website. Am hoping my existing familiarity with the language will help me acquire it. (I can understand spoken Tigrigna! Or house Tigrigna anyways, I have a little more trouble with relatives who are not saying oft-repeated phrases like set out the table or come downstairs or so on)

Why am I even posting, my life is epically boring lately. :l Maybe it is a sign from God that I should be job hunting already, it's not like I have anything better to do.

I know! According to the website they start on the 13, I'm kind of worried I've somehow got my wires crossed. I mean it's not normal to start this late right? :/

What is Tigrigna? I've never heard of it before?

It's my language! =) I'm from Eritrea, it's mostly what gets spoken there (there's some others like Amharic and Tigre but my parents speak Tigrigna).

oh, cool! I'm reading about it on wikipedia now, it's a really interesting language (I'm a total linguistics geek) :D
