20.05.17 I keep posting things and they don't show up. Annoying. I feel sad today, which is stupid because I had a good day. Seeing MW and the others just always makes me feel stupid I guess. I'm still so gutted about what he did when I went to that party he invited me too. I think I'm done with his fraternity stuff, and probably him too.

I need to start writing.

14.2.17 I've been very bad for posting. It's been a bit of a manic month but this post made me realise I've had a few of these moments recently. Snowboarding alone through fresh down the 111 in Westendorf before the rest of the world had stirred Running/cycling with my mum out in Boora. This year has been wonderful and what better day than the day of love to remember those moments of perfect content.

Not sure if it's tragic or hilarious how much I relate to this.

She had blue skin,
And so did he.
He kept it hid
And so did she.
They searched for blue
Their whole life through.
Then passed right by–
And never knew.

Allein für die Sternschnuppen, die Tänze, die Küsse und ja, auch für das Wachstum hat sich der Schmerz gelohnt. Ich würde es wieder genau so machen.

29-10-16 Today's a good day but I'm putting this up for a day which perhaps won't be.

Often you don’t fully understand what’s for homework or else you don’t understand what’s happening in classes. It’s all quite ‘sink or swim’ – you either run to keep up with all the native speakers or you take a moment and seriously question your choice to go on Erasmus. Then you remind yourself that 80% of the time you are in fact having the time of your life, whether anyone understands you or not.
