MY ENGLISH HAS TAKEN THE BIGGEST TURN YET AND I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SPELLING AND/OR GRAMMAR MISTAKES YOU ARE ABOUT TO READ
Language Update:Slower and slower I am forgetting to do posts, but, that's all just a day in the life. I feel like I may get a little deep in this post, so, sorry in advance if I do! Lately it's been harder for me to speak English, everything from my tones, grammar, and how it's said. Nothing makes you realize how weird your language is until you have to do another. People (Americans and Canadians) may not realize this, but our English is very hard in the throat, so, at points, it literally hurts to speak English...it upsets me greatly but at the same time it is a good thing to have happen. I also can barely hold an english conversation without either slipping in to French, a little bit/little lot of an accent, forgetting simple words, or word vommiting French in. I guess the time has finally come for my big language change and I'm ready for it. Fluency, come to me!
School Update:So, as you who are on Facebook with me know that I have just let people get to me (as I always have) but I am DONE with it. I'm tired of being treated like I'm not one of them (accepted in to social stuff here) and I'm SICK of being treated like i'm an IDIOT just because I'm not fluent and at times I get lost in courses still. What makes it even better, is my teachers are saying this about me. It works both ways, what you tell your colleagues, they tell me ;) SO, in response to this, I've kept all my exchange friends, but on the French social front, I'm done. Those who treat me like I'm not just some inconvenience may be my friend. I know if may sound really rude, but honestly, my whole life I've done nothing but let things like this bother me, and if I'm really going to let myself just sit here with the best year of fly by and let this little easily changeable aspect of my life go unchanged, I'm stupid. I have no more time for people to get in my way, and frankly, since I've began pulling back, I've understood a bit more, and am honestly in a better mood. I know everything is going to get better, and I can already see horizons lighting up!
Life Update:
Lately I haven't been doing too much, just a lot of stressful school, but, this weekend I went to Switzerland! :) I got to go see an American Embassy!! It was so interesting to see my country from the other side (one of my favorite parts of this year)! It was also really interesting to see how menacing it looked...It kind of looked like a prison and had SO much security, and apparently, when in times of destress, the metal fences are covered in barbed wire...we don't mess around haha! In all actuality it was really nice to see a familiar flag and be in a little part of home...I also went to the UN and passed by the Russian Embassy as well :) I can't wait to come back during Euro Tour when we will have more time :) Oh, and yes, I did buy swiss chocolate ;) That's literally it for here...
Random Bit;
Have you ever wondered how exactly your life was chosen? Why were we born in the place we were, with the people we were? Why did we get THIS language (our native) and what would life be like if we were born in a different country? These are questions that go through my head everyday, and that's only skimming the top. I think so much nowadays. Why did I REALLY do this? Who am I REALLY? Why do I do the things I do? How can I change things? I know I'm not the only one either as I've talked to some people who are also doing the same. I ran off to a foreign country not even a legal adult, and jumped in to some random culture which is 100% different than mine. I'm freaking crazy for doing this but love myself for it. I look at all these people I've met and it honestly makes me happy. If I had not done this, I'd never have bestfriends from literally all corners of the globe, and OH COME ON YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME I LITERALLY CANT EXPLAIN WHAT I WWANT TO SAY BECAUSE MERE PAAS BALTI HAI I FORGOT ENGLISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but yeah, to sum it up, I've found unconditional love not just from my parents. It gives me chills and brings tears to my eyes just to know that I have a family of new people who understand everything, and are there for me 100% all the time. Guys, I know I say this a lot, but if you're reading this, I really do appreciate how much you do for me and what you do for me so much and I love you all :)
So that's it for this post. I don't think my grammar was all that bad because I tried really hard to fix it as I went along (I've been working on this for a while...). Hopefully with any luck I may remember to start actually posting on a regular basis, but normally I just do after a bit event :) Speaking of which, the Light Festival is coming up soon and I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited!!! Look that up and be jealous!
