Meme - 5 Things I Don’t Inherently Dislike About Myself!

I was tagged by the-dragongirl, who does in fact sleep sing sometimes (you once woke me up in time for a midterm by sleep singing, much better than an alarm clock).  Therefore, in no particular order...

1.  I don’t give up easily (or basically ever).  I am stubborn enough for several people, and this has served me very well in some cases, like getting Uni people to do things the way I needed them to be done so that I could graduate on time after transferring halfway through my junior year.

2.  I read really fast.  This may not be evident from my posts here because I am taking all the detailed notes, but I would regularly read novels for classes over my hour long lunch break during Uni.  

3.  I am a good teacher.  My students like me, I explain things well, and I work really hard to listen to them.  I’m good with, and enjoy working with, an age group that many people don’t click well with:  middle schoolers.

4.  I am very facile with picking up languages.  I am natively bilingual (French and English), but I also have fairly good Mandarin and Japanese (though I’m definitely more facile in Mandarin), and I’ve studied several other languages to varying degrees.  I can follow things in a lot of languages that I don’t know much of at all on specific topics.  (This is a really useful skill when working with non-Native English speakers as an English teacher.)

5.  I’m a good cook.  I really enjoy feeding people, and cooking interesting foods, and people like my food.  This is especially an accomplishment because I didn’t learn how to cook until Uni (thanks the-dragongirl).  I have been on a bit of an avocado based sauces kick recently, and it is much fun (avocado plus fresh basil plus coconut milk blenderized together is a delicious sauce base, just saying).

And tagging, um, very few people actually follow me at this blog... Um, alexmaybe and caizhidao.

Let’s go with that right now because I’m not coming up with a better answer, and he’s in that top bracket. Celebrity Crush: See my k-pop and mand-pop obsessions post?  Though a lot of those aren’t so much crushes as they are precious adorable darlings... I am not terribly big on crushes.  Favorite bands: SpeXial, VIXX, F.cuz, Seventeen, Mamamoo, Spica, again, see the post listed above. Last movie i saw: I think... Into the Woods in theatres, I’m not sure otherwise, though I tend to watch more episodic things. Dream trip: Taiwan, tour all the tea places, see some of my favorite groups/singers live, explore all the night markets, practice my Chinese, see all the temples Dream job: Eventually Middle School ELL teacher at public schools in the Seattle Area. Last book i read: I’m in the middle of doing a massive Tolkein reread, so I’m a bit over halfway through The Two Towers (and am taking extensive notes over at etienne-returns-to-middle-earth)
