Frustrations of Learning Chinese

Week two is almost over. Time flys. But in the meantime I am getting frustrated with all the things associated with learning a new language. I feel like I should be able to comprehend more than I actually can. And what I do comprehend, I look like a deer in the headlights when coming up with a response. It's tough. When speaking English I always have something to say about everything. Whether I have a smart mouth or a smart ass....I would always have something to say in any circumstance. I guess it is because i like to bullshit, and that's the kind of person I am. Not here. I am the quite shy guy who has nothing to say because he can't say anything except "bu mingbai" or "ting bu dong" (I don't understand).
I hope I have to look back at this blog in a couple months, or a year to remember how frustrating it was..... Time will tell...
