I had a Hellen Keller moment yesterday: someone spoke to me in Chinese, and I understood. Like, I really really understood. (This was like when Hellen Keller got that signing water meant actual water. Anyone get the reference? Anyone?)
Anyway, I finally have internet in my room, but in order to get the internet, I had to go to another building and talk to the tech people. And I did it! I totally understood what was going on! It was AMAZING.
Can I bust out my Chinese all the time now? No. But I am understanding more and more what is going around me.
Yesterday, my roommate was in the room (surprise!). While she was in the room, I was skyping with my friend, Sarah (if any of you have Skype, drop me a comment and I'll give you my username and we can chat!) and talking in Chinese.
Sarah: Whoa! You actually speak Chinese!!
Me: I hate you, do you know that?!
