Departure in 2 Weeks.

It seems as though blogger concurred as one of those internet fads, which hit and then slowly fled. Though that does not matter. I depart for Thailand in two weeks, and I attempt to share some of my thoughts of the culture, land, and of course my own thoughts via this blog. I find blogger to be the easiest way to do so, though looking back at how i used it for Germany, it was more like journal entries in a hope to show my real feelings (which seemed to be a bit depressive?) I should've used it more wisely, for myself and of course for those who decided to read it.

 This summer has been the greatest of my life, and I couldn't have asked for a better one. I've figured a lot out and have met some pretty rad folks. Though my job is by no means the greatest, it's been an interesting experience.

 I'm not sure what my feelings are on going to Thailand are yet. I definitely won't be getting the culture experience I was able to get in Germany. If anything, I feel like the 6 girls who are going are in for the vacation/travel happy experience. Which I don't necessarily want it to be... but as I can only say a few phrases in Thai, it may be difficult to try and really capture the culture. For those who aren't aware I am teaching English to thai children (roughly ages 4-7) through an immersion program. I will be with 6 other americans (mostly from the Utah, Colorado area) and yes all are LDS (we'll see how that goes about....) We'll be there until before christmas and will be teaching no more than 20 hours a week. So, I am going to have quite a bit of free time. I'm still coming up with ideas in how i can improve myself in that free time. The cold feet syndrome is beginning to hit me. I sure hope to god that this 4 month volunteer journey is worth postponing my college education. Wir muessen einfach nur schauen, wie es wird.

Been a While.

I want to start writing again. It's been much too long since my mind, pen and paper have connected and have really written something worth reading. Problem is: I only think about the same bland things everyday... all day. Perhaps those are the things to write about? In my mind, they are not worthy to be opened to public, let alone placed into my journal. I'll give it a go, just promise you'll bare with me. You don't really have a choice anyway if you are actually reading this blog. Instead of blogging, I've just been tweeting, working, watching too many movies, learning dutch and trying to improve my ukulele skills.

So I like to sing... even if I don't sing well at all. This song reminds me of the good ol' "Mountain West"

Eine Kleine Pause

Schon wieder eine Facebook Pause. Schauen wir mal wie lange ich sie überstehen kann.

Jaja. Was ich aber lustig finde, ist das ich werde dann andere Websites benutzen wenn ich kein Facebook habe. Naja, der Gedanke zählt.

Ich versuche gerade mein Deutsch wirklich zu verbessern und es tut mir leid zu denen die kein Deutsch koennen. Ist aber egal! ich werde auch irgendwann auf Englisch schreiben. Keine Sorge.

Vielleicht fragt ihr wieso ich eine Facebook Pause mache? Also, meine Antwort: das Schuljahr ist fast vorbei und ich darf keine Zeit  mehr vergeuden. Das heisst nicht, dass ich keine Zeit vergeuden werde, aber ich glaube, dass ich jetzt fleissiger sein kann. Ich habe so was schon mal gemacht, und ich habe mich nie so "frei" in meinem Leben gefühlt (doch, habe ich schon, aber das ist jetzt egal).

Ciao,
MC

English Writing

I think I could amen to this quote. But, I am going to have to adjust it a little bit to my liking.

I love writing when I don't receive  a grade for it. Or, if I do receive a grade for it, it must be that of creative writing. But, with that: I love writing creative art, and I hate having written terrible creative art (which happens quite often, if I may be frank with you).

I hate writing research papers, essays (unless it has to do with a topic I am quite keen of. Which, let's face it, I am never quite keen of). I love having the joy of turning them in, knowing that I crafted them to the best of my ability. And that also doesn't quite happen often.

Writing in general is my friend/foe.

How beautiful the day will appear when I can control what I write and actually make an art of it. And make an art of anything I might write

This is a blog post credited towards AP Language and Composition. I apologize for not putting very much effort into you. But, I can reassure you: These next couple of months, I am dedicating my life to enriching my writing with the hope of eventually gaining the approval of Mrs. van Orden.
