How come when you leave a comment on something, the backroom says you have a new comment? i'm always like, "Yay, somebody commented on my stuff!" and then it turns out it's actually me. It makes me feel like I'm talking to myself.

Hey guys! I'm starting a new semester at school, which means all new classes. I'm taking Mandarin 4, which I have mixed feelings about. on one hand I love my Chinese teacher and taking Mandarin is a lot of fun, but it's really hard, and it's been almost a year since I took Mandarin 3, so I am super rusty. I think my vocabulary has dwindled town to, "Hello, I am Lina, I am American, and I have one dog." You know, in case I ever have to tell a Chinese person that I am an American dog owner. Also I can count pretty high. Man, I'm totally kicking myself now for not taking an online course or something last semester, because I totally coulda done that. I't didn't even occur to me until about two weeks ago, and by then there wasn't much point. Ah well, I'm sure I'm not the only one who's rusty. I' mean, I'd better not be because this block ends in six minutes and then I have Mandarin, so wish me luck!
