I think this is from last summer. And I didn’t even do it this summer, unless textbooks count. Oh well. I think it would be best if I just read when I have time and focused on my studies.

How I did it
It made me
super happy 
How I did it: I played guitar for one of my friends once, and he was surprised that I had never performed in front of an audience before. With his support and encouragement, he finally convinced me to do it. So on a tuesday night, I went to the Espresso Yourself Cafe and played. First, I played guitar while my friend Jacob sang I Will Follow You Into the Dark by Death Cab, then I played piano and sang Lady Madonna and Let it Be.&… Read how I did it…

How I did it: Sometimes, it is best not to try to make it my goal to do things that are out of control. I approached this summer with optimism and kindness, and that is all I could do.

Not sure where I want to go this time around…I know for sure I want to go to Italy again though. This time, I was thinking northern Italy (2 weeks),maybe going to Venice, then visiting family in Udine and/or Trentino…After that, I could go north into the Swiss Alps, maybe go to Strasbourg or something (1.5 weeks), but thats not on the top of my priorities. Then I could go into Germany, visit my family’s town called Pommern, south of Bohn. (1.5 wks). The last stop of the trip could be Amsterdam, maybe stay there for a week. So, six week summer trip, I get to go to 5 countries, all places I’ve wanted to see…sounds good to me! Now I just have to get the hardest part done…Finding the money :)

Eh, not worth it. People understand me the way I am-there isn’t any feeling or any thing that I am not able to express with the vocabulary I already have. I don’t feel the need to appear smart or more knowledgeable. I have other goals in my life that are surely more important than improving my vocabulary.
