DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Rain rain, go away, and never come back! please! It has been miserable weather these past couple of days. It is 8 degrees celcius, with rain and wind, and hasnt given up for 3 days! bummer! I am so bored! no one wants to do anything in this kind of weather, myself included. I am slightly sick, always tired and realllllly sluggish! I need a pick me up! Luckily I have my arnold palmer powers and romanian tv! It is fantastic, romanian tv. It is one my most valuable assets in language learning, believe it or not. They have english programs, duch as discovery, animal planet and plenty of movies, and they have the romanian subtitles to go with them! YOu watch the movie, and read what they are saying. For all visual learners, such as myself, this is wonderful! it is helping me associate words with sounds, pronunciation with spelling, and all that good stuff! And it is entertaining on a grey, very grey, very very very grey day. Top gear is that much better with the romanian subltitles! School is still interesting. I am still confused most of the time, still get headaches and still learning lots on the romanian front. Thanks deea! she is my deskmate and principle teacher of the romanian language. She is fantastic! all of my classmates are! I got really lucky in my placement! My friend geo is going to college in craiova, 30 minutes away, and i met up for coffee with him today. Things are going well with him, and it gives me an interesting insight into (haha that has to be some sort of alliteration) what i have to expect in the years to come at WESTMINSTAH! I am currently researching people of note, citizen whom i admire no matter their nationality or gender or anything. It is a hard process. IT is for a scholarship essay, which i really want/need to win. Who do i admire? what will people think of me based on who i admire? How do i express myself in words, the feelings i have and the reasons i admire them. For some, this process is boring, pointless and a task that is to be put on the back burner and left for another day. But for this essay, apart from the fact that it is worth alllloooooootttttt of money, has gotten my full attention and interest. I really do not know who i admire. I know i admire people, but what do i admire about them? what makes them so fantastic that i want to write an essay about them that is worth a college education? are they interesting enough to catch the attention of the reader? or will they simply render me another face in the crowd? The things i have to do for college vary from those that my classmates have to do. It seems so much simpler for them. From my standpoint, it seems as though they simply have to choose where in romania they want to study, assuming they do well on their equivalent of the SAT. I am jealous in a way. Jealous that they, to my knowledge anyway, do not have to fill out scholarship applications, do not have to fill out any applications at all to be honest. Again, this is to my knowledge, correct me if i am wrong! please! It is a very different way of life, they college process here as opposed to the USA. It is still somethign intimidating, but not something that a student worries about the moment after setting foot in his or her elementary school. I do not know if the system works the way i percieve it, but if it does, i am perplexed. It is so simple. I guess, it has its cons too, as does everything, but i feel as though i would have almost wanted it to be like the romanian way of doing things.
Well that was a rant, but still, it has been on my mind as of late.
I also want you all to know, that if you have any questions or comments, please comment! i would love to expland more on certain topics, ones that are more interesting to you!
Goals: Vocab, GET OUT OF THE HOUSE!, have fun
