i hate this username. i think i may switch soon. is my manner offensive? sorry. seriously, i am, if it is. the last thing i want is to come across as anything arrogant, mean, or badnatured. jude the obscure is good. i'm reading it and putting off reading jane eyre for school again, because i got sick of everyone thinking i was reading a bible at school. [its supposed to look old, a red hardcover book with gold pages] do i have homework? i'm not sure. i think i'll read the rest of the arthurian legends, just in case the test happens to be tomorrow, and that's that. meine mutter says that she doesn't like that picture of me. she says i look sad. i like it. how have we not learned the verb which means to speak or to say, and we've learned how to say "Hi, I collect stamps after school! Collecting stamps is super!" 'Briefmarken sammeln ist super!' psh. briefmarken sammeln ist blöd. it makes no sense. i'm getting somewhat better at playing "march" my mother asked me if i would like to go and see the nutcracker this year. i'm excited, i've never been to see it, but i am in love with the idea of it, and with the music from it. ____________________________________ has anyone visited or does anyone live in England, Ireland, Scotland, or Wales? are there any suggestions on what i should visit? i'm planning my summer vacation at the moment. ___________________________________ every now and then, i can see oppurtunities to completely change my life. i can simply tell that if i seize the moment, it will change my future. but i can never tell anymore if i want to jump in and seize the oppurtunity. and i don't think i have the energy or confidence to anymore. but i wonder what would happen if i did, and i took this chance. i wonder how my life would change. and how can all of these things be coincidence??
