Keeping an English Journal from now on
Hey there! So, I decided to keep a Journal in both German and English. I originally intended to keep the English Journal at zorpia.com, where I also keep my online photo album, but they don't allow not-members to write comments, and that sucks. So I decided to integrate the English Journal into my already existing German Journal at livejournal. I hope my German friends won't get too confused ^^° It might well be that some of my English entries will seem strangely familiar, because I might have written of these happenings in German already... But I still think this is the best way for now. I'll try to update in English at least once a week, let's see if it works out. Right now I'm pretty busy mostly with preparing for the intermediate exam in July, and I don't have so much time to write emails and letters :( I hope this way some of my english-speaking penpals can keep track of my life as well =)
Today I didn't do much, and I really enjoyed this. Usually I have to work on sundays, but today I had a nice quiet day at home. I did some ironing and hoovering, prepared some texts for university, made a lovely photo album of my trip to London (it will be printed as a photo book, its almost finished, that was a lot of work...), and read "Heart of Darkness". I already had to read this book for a seminar in the first semester, but I didn't quite like it then. I thought it was horrible to read and it took me ages. Now I read it again in German, and I couldn't stop, it's so exciting and a pleasure to read ^^° I guess there is still a huge language barrier... :( That's a pity, really. My English greatly improved since I entered university, but still there is so much more to learn - And I study English for more than 10 years now! My hope to read a Japanese book leisurely one day is decreasing ^^° Anyway, now I will do my Japanese homework (I hardly have time for that lately, and I note that I get worse :( But since I have a tandem partner now and visit the "Stammtisch" regularly, I also notice I get better in some ways. Phew!) and then maybe watch "Van Hellsing". My brother bought the DVD lately, and since I only half watched the movie on my flight from Japan to Germany last summer, I'm really curious about the whole movie ^ _ ^
