How I did it
How to create a family cookbook
It took me
2 weeks
It made me
Very proud of myself

How I did it: I've been taking photos of food that I make for a long time. I used my own photos, photos of family members, and stories with family recipes. This took me two weeks of continual full time work.  Read how I did it…

It took me
3 months
It made me

become fluent in German (read all 5 entries…)
Off putting 6 months ago

Living in Germany would make learning German seem much easier, but the major struggle is constantly feeling judged by people here when I do use German.

I don’t mind being corrected, but please don’t tell me that you’re surprised I don’t speak better German than I do. Your off putting remarks have a lasting impact and make me resentful. After all, you should be happy that I am trying to communicate with you in your language!

Hitting the plateau 14 months ago

I’m able to communicate and get what I need, however I know I’m not always grammatically correct, which is the struggle in German. It is frustrating since I live here, and I have to remind myself that it takes time.

After taking some time off I will return to my classes on Monday. I hope I haven’t forgotten too much.

travel alone
Traveling Alone 14 months ago

I just got back from Ljubljana. It was a nice trip and something interesting to do for myself. I feel accomplished, especially since it was supposed to be a direct train and ended up being 4 trains, a bus, and a car ride due to unfortunate circumstances. Fortunately I met some wonderful young women along the journey.
