Spring rollsCan someone have too many interests? I think I would be a prime candidate for this title. There are so many different things I want to do in my free time. I want to focus on photography, research travel destinations, read up on business topics, read mysteries, make cards, study for professional certifications, read up on technical accounting topics like IFRS, do some art, write in my blog, improve my German, learn more Italian, learn Mandarin, research real estate in SF, keep in contact with my buddies, get 8 hours of sleep, listen to German language audio books, power walk, go shopping occasionally, explore the city to capture more pictures, invest and the list goes on and on to infinity.
When you have so many interests, you have to prioritize them. Which ones are more urgent? I really want to improve my technical photography skills so that I can spout photography jargon and scare everyone off. ;-P Also, I need to study for my CFE so that I can place another set of letters on my resume. Just kidding. It's good to know all the ways people can commit fraud because if you one day become an employer of people, you will be well versed in all the ways they can possibly misappropriate assets from your company. Additionally, keeping abreast of the business world and professional literature can also be very challenging.
Furthermore, I want to improve my German. The only way to do that when you're not living over there is to write emails and listen to German radio which I do at work (I love Klassik Radio). I still learn new things from my German penpals whenever we exchange emails. For instance, I recently learned how to say diabetic, which literally translates into sugar sick. How descriptive! Also, I want to know how to use authentic sounding German particles like "denn" and "mal". If you sprinkle them in the right places, your German will seem more authentic! I don't think you can really learn such stuff at school in German class. It just comes from daily exposure to the language as it's really used by the average Hans on the street.

About the picture above: This is a picture of my favorite lunch food at the moment - Vietnamese spring rolls. These are made with pork and there's a sweet and sour dipping sauce that comes with it. I like it because it's fairly light, as opposed to greasy and heavy tasting.
About the picture below: Critical Mass during Friday rush hour. This is when bicyclists get to ride through the city streets with a police escort to protect them from the drivers. Tempers can really flare up during Critical Masses.
