1. I’m 1/8th Chinese. I know you might not see it here:
but this is my grandpa.
2. I went to college for Computer Science. Then switched my major to Business Marketing halfway through. Got a job as an analyst and ended up switching over to IT a couple of years in. Hmm, what’s next?
3. I often have a recurring dream where I wake up back in Russia and everything that’s happened in my life so far has been a dream. What are the chances that this is true? And where did I learn to speak English?
4. I speak fluent English, Russian and French. Okay, my French is not-so-good anymore since I have no practice, but with a little help, I can usually pick it back up. I went to a math and language school back in Moscow that started a second language in second grade and a third one in 8th grade (that second language would have been English but I moved before we got there). Parlez-vous Francais?
5. I’ve always been and always will be a tomboy. Sure, it’s hard to see since I’ve gotten into make-up and pretty clothes, but ask my mom how long it took to get me into a dress when I was a kid and she’d just shake her head in frustration. Through most of my life my closest friends have been boys (with the exception of a few bestie girlfriends) and in college I chose to live with boys.

Love that last picture of you! The contrast between your fancy dress and the cigar is too funny. :)
ReplyDeleteI literally have no idea what i was going to comment last night.
ReplyDeleteMy mom is a tomboy, though, it's awesome, she taught us to climb trees and play sports, so Addison has that to look forward to :).
Tomboy 100% here too. I had a farmset instead of dolls growing up. I guess my childhood was preparing me for my grown up life living on the farm helping my husband.
ReplyDeleteAre you posting the Link Up code anywhere the night before?
ReplyDeleteThis is so much fun! I love knowing these little things.
ReplyDeleteI am always so impressed by people who are multi-lingual. And je parle francais un petit peu!
I didn't know the Chinese part, but I know a bunch of these were why we initially connected! Yay for former to present computer geeks, French and Russian, and tomboy-ness!
