What exactly is my ‘mother tongue’?
Friday, July 6th, 2007My grades are telling.
I scored 94.8/107 for my Japanese main paper [inclusive of a short essay] (yes, it’s over 107, don’t ask me why), but 56/100 for my Chinese main paper.
Though the level of Japanese tested in the exam isn’t exactly very high (I thought of kicking myself for making certain mistakes), and the Chinese comprehension was barely comprehensible, I start to wonder if the concept of ‘mother tongue’ is a bit screwed.
But hey I once thought of doing Chinese literature (two of my classmates are doing it and apparently having lots of fun). So that just confuses me even more.
On an ending note, 綾子様 is as important a presence in my life as ever. May the powers above bless her for always.
