Grenoble
I'm starting to accept the fact that writing is not one of my many talents. You are looking at a girl who can wiggle her right ear, eat an impressive amount of chocolate in one sitting, hold her breath for over a minute and a half, and do a pretty exact Napoleon Dynamite impression, but you are also looking at a girl who can't form a cohesive phrase. Now that I'm back to writing college essays, my English seems to be failing me and I'm out of clever ideas that show off my bedazzling personality.
Most of my days are spent thinking of bad ideas for essays that might be good for my blog. Ever since I started this blog, my sarcastic personality kicks in every time I sit down to write, so you can imagine all the failed essay attempts. In addition, I often find myself stopped in the middle of a sentence because I'm thinking of a basic word I've so easily forgotten. For example, I just spent about 10 minutes thinking of the word "impression" which was used earlier on in this entry. The simplest words are so hard to think of now, and since my French still feels far from fluent, I'm starting to convince myself that I don't know any languages. I fear for my future in college.
Since I'm leaving for Germany on Thursday for 8 days and time is quickly running out before deadlines, I've decided to bring my laptop with me. I really didn't want to, but at this point, I don't really have a choice. It took me forever to make up my mind that I was reapplying, so all those wasted days have to be made up somehow. This is going to be a short blog, because as you know, I've got other things on my mind and I should probably go work on them. Sigh. Let me know if anyone wants to write an essay for me; I've got plenty to share!
Haha I can definitely relate to feeling like I don't know any languages ^^ And I think you're a really great writer don't stress- I love reading your blog posts! Have fun in Germany!
ReplyDeletePobrecito ... or the French equivalent!
ReplyDeleteKnow that all is okay. It is difficult at best to be on top of things so far away when the present is so challenging. All will fall in place and you will excel at whatever you do.
ReplyDeleteI bet you timed how long you could hold your breath for before you wrote that. I also heard you got your package with my Christmas presents for you in it - DO NOT READ THE PACKING SLIP, MISSY.
ReplyDeleteAnd I liked your college essays muchisimo! Well, the two I've read so far...I think I have about twenty more to go. But the language part is true - remember when you came to Spain and I could barely speak either language?
Have fun in Germany!! And just so you know, "chocolate" in German is "schokolade." I thought that might come in handy.
Hi Gigi! I semi-saw the packing slip, but only because Charlotte showed it to me when I got the box... However, I barely remember what was on it, and I'm still very excited to open your presents on Christmas :D Thanks for reading my college essays; I'll send you some more when I stop being lazy :)
