I visited Charlotte for week and came back def off track! And it is SOOOO exhausting to constantly have to think! That I think is the killer for me, my brain has never been this active bc I have to think to hear the radio, listen to the weather, understand a stranger...respond to said stranger! When I was home I was blown away at suddenly how easy it was to do everything, I realized how exhausted I've been here. <br /><br />I also hate always feeling different, it was nice to get that break of feeling a part of a group. I've never in my life been one for wanting to be in "the group" but to live a constant life of looking at everyone from an outsiders perspective, its so nice to feel included for a change. Good luck girly! (and yes it is REALLY funny how our lives coincide! We should do something about that! Maybe a cafe someday in the future!!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383655317628554217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-462533470945751098.post-54143092548717455902010-04-27T16:05:05.892-05:002010-04-27T16:05:05.892-05:00AMEN!!!!!! I come across this so so much!! I feel ...AMEN!!!!!! I come across this so so much!! I feel so frustrated at how little I can really speak, despite the fact I do know quite a bit, and how embarrassed I get when forced to speak. The whole "this is your degree" thing makes it even scarier and worse...<br /><br />Yeah I do go to oxford, st john's college, it's at one end of cornmarket (the pedestrian high streety bit). I'm guessing you saw all the big colleges, christ church, magdelen and that? Mine is quite small, but still beautiful, with some gorgeous old buildings, and new ones too. If you get time to write about your time in london and oxford I would love to hear about it. I'm incredibly proud and in love with both cities :) xxxxxxanahithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11568653537583810939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-462533470945751098.post-77598698475575577272010-04-27T13:48:28.118-05:002010-04-27T13:48:28.118-05:00I have to say I am in the EXACT SAME BOAT! I'm...I have to say I am in the EXACT SAME BOAT! I'm learning Italian in Italian Switzerland, and every time I leave, I lose a little. I'm returning home for the summer soon, and I will probably lose all ability I had. <br /><br />Cazzo! <br />Learning a new language is so exciting when you get something right, but when it's wrong or you forget it, it's just that GAH!Blah! feeling.<br /><br />Also, Monty Python reference truly appreciated.SomethingDutchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06990702810134198073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-462533470945751098.post-62888325210874428702010-04-27T12:15:40.252-05:002010-04-27T12:15:40.252-05:00yikes! I get nervous just thinking about it! I lov...yikes! I get nervous just thinking about it! I love french and understand it very well but I'm such a chicken when it comes to speaking it to a native speaker. We have a few french clients at work and the most I can get out it a "Bonjour! Comment ça va?" :) You're an inspiration<br /><br />PS: ah how I love Monty Python...reckless daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09104611585405321277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-462533470945751098.post-18551893704129391212010-04-27T09:29:27.375-05:002010-04-27T09:29:27.375-05:00Awesome pictures :) xxAwesome pictures :) xxHope Chellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15550478301580662752noreply@blogger.com
