You know how sometimes people on your friends list post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when are they working THERE? Since when are they dating HIM/HER? Since when?" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you should already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.
Please copy mine below, erase my answers putting yours in their place then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration! One-Word-Answers seldom help anyone out.
1. Name: Jaenelle Yukina. Most people shorten my Japanese name to Yuna or a variant, Yunie (yes, think FFX!).
2. Age: ...23. I feel waaaaay too old. Come January of '09, I'll officially be in my mid-twenties! Woe!
3. Location: Right now I live in Michigan, but in August I'm moving to Shanghai, China for the next four years. Yes, I am super excited. XD
4. Occupation: At the moment I'm finishing my undergrad (I'm done on WEDNESDAY OMG) and working as a hostess part-time until August. Then I will be a graduate student + probably working part-time as an English teacher some place for extra monies. XD
5. Partner: ...It's not official, but if I am very lucky and it becomes so... just know that I less than 3 them. A lot. XD
6. Kids: ...maybe I'll adopt someday. Maybe.
7. Brothers/Sisters: Technically I have no siblings, but when Papa Ni and Dad Shang adopted me, I got their offspring as siblings. XD
8. Pets: I had a dog, Shadow, but she died my senior year of high school.
9. List the 3-5 biggest things going on in your life:
1. I'm going to ECNU in the autumn as a graduate student
2. On July 7th, a very special someone is coming to visit me
3. I'm... having difficulties with my health as of late. There's a cyst in my thyroid and we're praying it's not cancer. D:
10. What did you go to school for? LOL I went to college originally because I didn't have a choice, because my parents said I should, because society said I should. Originally I was a creative writing major because I was rather good at writing and it was something to major in. But after my China trip, I changed my major twice before I settled down with what I am graduating with: Liberal Studies with an emphasis in Chinese literature, philosophy, and language. I'm going to graduate school for Chinese literature and language and probably won't be finished with school until I get my Ph.D.
11. Parents: My biological family... I'd rather not dwell on. But I have a beautiful extended Chinese family that loves me as much as I love them.
12. Close Friends: Steph, Paine, Rikku, ![[info]](https://www.scribbld.com/img/userinfo.gif) wakka, he-whom-I-less-than-3, a certain Chinese former love interest, Wendy, Eri, Shucha, Shaye, Brooke, and I'm sure I shall gather more friends as time goes by. I have been blessed with MANY friends, and in spite of my horrid past, a wonderful future surrounded by love.
