I would be scared living in another country for a year.

Well. It's not really that part that scares me. It's that I'd be leaving my parents and sister and I'm just not ready to face that yet.

But go you!

whoa. lucky you. it's a REALLY exciting experience, but at the same time, i understand why you're nervous. Knowing three languages sounds cool, though. Wish you the best on your awesome year abroad!

I am so jealous of the opportunity you have, to go and live in Europe for a year, but I understand how scary it is--I'm leaving, on my own, with no specific plans and however much money I can save by then, for one year after I graduate high school. It's more than a little terrifying, but it's also really exciting.

The thing you said about having to graduate from an American school--I'd never heard that. I think the general international consensus is that American high schools suck (compared to most European and Asian countries), but that American universities are better (with, of course, a few exceptions...Like, I don't think anyone would complain if you went to Oxford). In all honesty, I think that you end up with about the same education level, but foreign students learn more in high school and we learn more after it.

?: What does "da bist du ya" mean?

On another note... that's so cool that you persuaded someone to change their mind.

haha, nighttime strolls. i used to do that- until i realized how potentially dangerous it is to do that in the city i live in. but the thrill of it is enjoyable!

I could walk some places in my town, but the fact that it's so close to a big city makes it seem less small to me for some reason. I mean, when an interstate goes right through the town, it doesn't exactly scream "this is a small town!", now does it?

But I finally have my license, so that makes me happy.

You have a curfew for your town? Do other people have this? Is that a regional thing? That seems weird to me. I live in North Carolina. You're in Oregon, right? Anyway, I do envy the fact that your town is small enough to walk anywhere in....I can't walk anywhere here....And I don't drive, so that severely limits my freedom.

Oh, so you live in one of those Stepford Wives neighborhoods too? Solidarity in sameness! (I swear, my neighborhood is the quietest neighborhood IN THE WORLD. I feel loud when I talk above a whisper.)

That was very enlightening.

Can you see the sarcasm dripping from this comment? Haha, but no seriously... it was hilarious. I should make a list like that.

Soon.

Yeah, I'll get right on that.

Yeah, I love reading my old journals sometimes. It's like a record of what was happening in my life and when. I love it.

Is that weird?

re: Oh gee

jocelynp — Thu, 22 Nov 2007 02:20:17 GMT

I never had an LJ, so that particular experience is not something I've had, but going back to my old journals I'm always so amazed at how different I am now! You said you've forgotten lots of middle school...I wonder what I don't remember? I wonder where my old journals are...

And my middle-school experience, like that of many people I'm sure, totally sucked. Not that high school is a walk in the park, but it's a little better...

Hah. the middle school years. I remember those. Ooh, and i have the embarrasing pictures, too. It's funny how in those years, everything seems to get to you and you're like a mix of a confused teenager and an immature 2nd grader. Attleast for me, that was the case. -_-

Thank Godiva for growing up!

Man. Every once in a while, I'll go back and read the LJ I had for the first half of my freshmen year... I was so freakin' angry.

Of course, then I got a new LJ name and, well, it's been a weird ride, that one. But I'm certainly not so angry anymore. Sheesh.

Middle school was an odd time. Sometimes I miss it, and sometimes I wish it had never happened, haha.

Oh, LiveJournal. Such a testament to embarrassing, horrible, oft-repressed times :|

yeah, your post sparked me to look back at some old entries of mine :|
