Blogust & Everything After

I have to take a proficiency test to see what level my Chinese is at. I'm a little worried that I might get put in a beginner class cuz I'm rusty but really I'm way ahead of a beginner. I'm also super looking forward to working on my reading and writing. That's a real challenge but it's so rewarding when you can read a sign or a menu. Someday I WILL be fluent...
