Hey Voices,

It's a bit of a mouthfull really, ahem: Chinese, Industrial Sociology and Organisational Psychology. It's a Bachelor of Social Sciences. Triple majoring over 4 years, currently in my third year. Busy with a silly research project now though for Industrial Sociology, even though it's holidays :P

Sounds quite intense. I don't know much about majors and minors when it comes to studying. I did my B.Tech in Elec eng at a technikon where you don't have general subjects and majors...you pretty much have to do everything and then pick a field in either Heavy current, comms or digital systems. Supposedly a 4 year course, but they make you do it in 5 so you do your research project in the last year while you start working.

I'm interested to know why you took Chinese. I'd never be able to learn a language from a book. The only way I learnt to speak English and German was by living in places where people spoke it constantly & reading it in papers and hearing it on the news and seeing it being spoken in movies/tv shows.

At one point I was studying japenese from my friends mother who was from japan. That is a hard language.

Lol at the picture :D

Chinese is pretty intense because you're not only learning a language but a new system of writing as well. That said, it's pretty awesome and the Chinese government is giving us a lot to study it, like free trips to China and scholarships. Guess I took it because I love Asia and there's lots of job opportunities if I have it. You just have to practice a crap load, every day.

Aaaah need to run. Bye all. Just wanted to pop in to see how things were :D
