Alrighty, bloggity blog world. I like to blog stalk, and one of my favorite blogs to stalk is my friend Kelsey Keller Weller (I'll always call her that. I think it's fantastic.) She does a weekly thing called "Truth Tuesday" where she tells the truth of what is on her mind for that day, namely Tuesday. (You can read her blog here. It's really great.)
Naturally, I'm stealing the idea. And it's Tuesday. So, here it goes. It will probably just be a lot of random thoughts going through my head.
--I hate writing papers. Some would think I'm in the wrong major, but I don't think so. I love reading, analyzing, discussing...but writing papers on my analysis? No thanks. I'll happily write something creative, but no academic writing ever brings me joy.
--I love that Austria is becoming "home" for me. I'm finally starting to feel like I'm living here rather that just visiting here. It's going to be hard for me to leave.
--I can't believe how well some of my classmates can speak English. I'm learning German (which in my opinion is probably easier to learn than English) and I can't imagine being as fluent in German as they are in English. It's impressive.
--Sometimes I really feel like I'm not smart. I feel like there are a lot of people around me that can grasp concepts that are just so hard for me to understand. Maybe I don't apply myself enough. In fact, I'm sure I don't apply myself enough, because it bothers me that I don't. Of course, changing that is nearly impossible for me. Which also bothers me. I'm just bothered.
--I've been having this obsession with a couple songs lately, and it frustrates me that I can't express why. I love the English language, but dang it, sometimes it's just not adequate to express how I feel about some things. So when I fall in love with a song, I end up turning to someone and going, "AH! This part is so good...just..ah, man. And the way...this part. It just makes me feel..." See? No words. I can only hope that someone understands what I mean.
Anyway. That's my first Truth Tuesday. Unfortunately I have to get back to writing a blasted paper, so that's all I can write here for now. Stay tuned for another Austrian infused post soon! (Hopefully...)
Tschüss! :)

You are so sweet. Thanks for linking my blog. I wish I could say I thought up the idea of Truth Tuesday but I actually stole it from another friend's blog. And she stole it from someone else. So we just have a chain of stealth going here :). And also, you strike me as a very intelligent person. So there.
