Can't believe it's 2012, I think it's wonderful.
Karena, I think your Spanish will improve a lot since you're living there, there are a lot of great classes online for free too and if you try to speak it every day you're going to be fluent in no time! My personal favorite is busuu for Spanish (and German), but now I'm using livemocha for Dutch, it's pretty good too. I might make a short trip to south America next summer but I really need to earn some money so I'll probably just be for two weeks or so.
Stephanie, I'm also looking forward to reading The Fault in Our Stars, the first two chapters John Green read made me weep (haha). I'm only buying it for my Kindle for now though since I'm traveling and I can't travel with many books with me. And yes, I am definitely trying to enjoy the life to the fullest now that I have a year off! I love changing places and living abroad, it's awesome.
Since it's my first blog in a new year I think it would be appropriate to write down my resolutions for this year (yeah, I'm that person!).
1. Enjoy life. This year will be MY year, I was going trough some pretty rough stuff last year and January was definitely my low-point. Now that I have the year off (at least untill August/September).
2. Get in shape. I have gained so much weight for the last few years and I don't feel very comfortable in my body. It won't be very hard, I just have to start.
3. I'm going to learn how to cook! I'm coming back from Amsterdam and I will be able to cook!
4. I'm going to take better care of myself. Protect my soul and body. Can't tell more there, it's not really internet-appropriate.
5. Finish my goddamn portfolio for art university! I have to draw/paint about 40 GOOD pictures before April. So much pressure. I have to believe I can do it. I CAN do it, I just have to do it. I'm going to.
I know it's the typical resolutions that most people forget in the first two months, but it's something I started out with in September and I just wanted to put it down on paper so that I don't forget.
Last year I stopped biting my nails (mostly!).
Have a nice weekend, girls.
Love,
Alda.
