Language and You

This past year has been quite fun as far as languages are concerned.
This past semester I took Japanese at UWM.  It was really interesting.  I think I have a good basis to begin self study.  There is this wonderful website that one of my friends showed me called Smart.fm.  I have been using it to memorize my Japanese vocabulary.

I am also very interested in becoming more involved in the field of translation.  So I will be practicing that, and restudying my old grammar text books.

Currently I have become interested in the mood created by creepy movies.  I love the atmosphere.  I just watched The Ring, and found it interesting to watch, I'll be watching the original soon.

I got a sewing machine for Christmas!!!  So I have been spending some of my free time repairing the old pillowcases I love.  Dorky I know, but I do love to see my repair pile shrinking.

I'll try to post again soon.  ^_^

I should.

I should be getting ready for work. But first a post.

I'm currently Reading: H.P. Lovecraft's Book of Horror
This is filled with stories by authors older than dirt.  I LOVE it.  I highly reccomend this book if you are interested in learning about H.P. Lovecraft and his contemporaries.

I am: at 109lb.  And I'm so happy about that.  They've put me on a lower does of addeall and I'm hoping It will help with my concentration and motivation and let me keep my appetite and love of cooking.

I'd like to: Buy a nice camera, get a new job, and visit my cousin in Nashville, and my friend in Ohio.

I'm tempted to: buy an E-reader... ~_~ so shiny!!!

I miss: hanging out with Joe.  Talking to Jamie.  Speaking spanish.

I spoke: Spanish today translating at the Granville Clinic.  : ) Thanks Kaffy for the opportunities.

I should: take a shower... make a sandwich.

I'm watching: 13 Miedos.  It's a 13 episode series which is only 20 minutes long.  I'd reccomend it to anyone who likes to be scared.. but it's only in Spanish and it doesn't have subtitles.  But fortunately the subject matter is pretty simple for each episode.  And they are short enough that they keep my short attention span.

That was fun, why don't you fill it out and see what you come up with?  I've got to get ready for work!

Dear Grampa Steuer,
I'm worried about you.  I'm sure everyone is.  I haven't visited you yet, and I know I should.  Could I come tomorrow?  I hope you are able to get the water out of your body so that they can operate soon.  I hope you are at a good hospital with a great heart surgeon.  You're way too cool to be trusting your life to a less than amazing surgeon.
  I've been hard at work at my stupid job.  I bought a tango CD.  Do you like Tango?

My body is buzzing with coffee now, and now I'm eating lunch.  I can't wait to go home.  Kaffy is coming over tonight and we are going to watch a movie, and drink a beer or two.  I am really looking forward to it.

Tomorrow I am seeing my friend Jasmine and we are going to play games and watch movies.  Yay.  And I also work tomorrow, but whatever, it will be fun.  Maybe I'll even make it to church tomorrow! yeah!

Love
Amy

Dear World

Dear World,
Why is contentment so hard?

Anyway.  I'm trying to be happy today. I found two great videos
New OKGO
and a Cute Couple
Yesterday was snow and tea and Jasmine and Dexter.  It was also Crazy boots, and Cthulhu.
It was lonely and not.
It was church and strangers, it was avoiding handshakes.
It was sewing.
It was falling asleep at 2:34

Today I don't know what to do with myself.
I work at 5:00pm... till Close, of Course!
Get me out of here...
