Back to the beginning

When things start looking up, it's important to be careful because there is usually a twist somewhere along the way...*sad day* I have been presented with an interesting opportunity but there are many many factors to consider and this decision won't be made a little while=stress for me. I really want to work on and improve my German, especially in terms of my vocabulary and my speaking skills. How do you do that? Well you practise and here I have the opportunity to maybe live with a family (with three kids) and maybe do an au pair +studying combo. Thing is, that looking after kids has the potential to be a full time job and then I wouldn't have time to do anything else, maybe not even study...on the other hand, the only way to really kick-start my language learning is to be immersed in a family where I would be surrounded by German, German and more German. *bah* A key to low stress is of course not worrying about things that you don't have enough information to make a decision for...haha...I'm back to my old tendencies--enter queen of Stress lol. So prayers would be good...I'm going to be doing a lot of that and hopefully talking to the person who proposed this idea to find out some more infos. The *excitement*
I made hot cross buns today...they are yummy but I am trying to show discipline and save some of them for later. I can sense love handles are starting to develop lol and I need to start getting a move-on exercise-wise...today I was successful but to keep it up, that will be the real challenge. Tonight I'm feeling kind of blah...like just recognising how boredom and being by yourself can work against you really fast--especially if you are me and you like to feel sorry for yourself. *oh dear* Sleep should be good for that but we'll see...I haven't been sleeping that spectacularly lately and I'm not sure what has been going through my head.
Okay, so enough of sounding all depressed...yay for German bibles that are understandable ;-p Now that I'm being very random I should probably stop. I hope that you have a nice day Bean--I don't think anyone else reads this anyways--yay for sisters! *inspiration* for your midterm-ness. Schoenen Abend noch.

    Hrmmm... I probably shouldn't give you too much advice or anything, for ultimately it is your decision... but well, to me, a large factor would be as to how you get credit for your classes in Germany - do you just get a "cr" (course requirements) or an actual mark? for if the former, then it doesn't really matter how well you do in the classes, just as long as you've done them or not, right?

    How did talking to this person with more info go?

    Have fun at Taize when you go!!!
