Listening to: Clowns by T.A.T.U
Mood: Curious

Today was early release (heck yes!) but instead of leaving right away like I usually do, I decided to chill out in my Spanish class to finish my chips. My Spanish teacher also teaches German, and one of her German students came in since he was going to miss her class for an AP test of some sort.

But that's not what I want to write about... later is.

After the guy was gone and etc. she started telling me about how some people say, or theorize, that our lives are split in three different categories. Something like four temperaments (or the four personalities that is theorized). It's split into: Feeling / Thinking / To Do.

Depending on our activities and what we enjoy doing, they can be categorized in to those three. But what she was explaining more about is how different languages can actually fall into those categories as well. She used herself as an example.

Apparently she was far into the 'feeling' category which her dance and other artistic feelings. People told her she needed to find a balance so she took up two different languages. Spanish and German. Spanish is a romance language and falls into the feeling category. Apparently English is a 'thinking' categorized language so she all ready had that accomplish, and German is categorized as a 'to do'. Having all this she explained that she felt balanced, she felt complete.

I found this fascinating and felt like sharing.
