Detail Dump in English Cause My Japanese Still Sucks

I guess I should talk a bit about why I'm learning Japanese. It's odd but, a few years ago, I began to do Olympic weightlifting on an amateur level, and became a fan of the Japanese weightlifting team (as well as other teams). For some reason I can't remember, this led me towards 80's and 90's Japanese pop music, and I got addicted. I figured if I liked it so much, I should take advantage of the nice school learning environment to learn it. Oh, and I like the cuisine I guess. Kind of a normal thing at this point, but I guess I'll make that clear.
So far, I actually enjoy the learning the language. Although I'm ethnically Chinese, I haven't formally learned any Asiatic languages before, so it's been fun experiencing something new. I think that's also the reason why I've been having problems memorizing hiragana and katakana, but I feel like I'm improving over time. I'm looking forward to being able to speak somewhat fluently eventually.

  4. You went from Olympic weight lifting to studying Japanese at Columbia? That's crazy... Please don't hurt me if I give you bad marks on a test. I promise it's nothing personal.
