The sweet release of d… Ah, no. Too morbid.

The collapse of the U… No. Too political.

I've got some very nice tea (an Anhui "golden flower" black tea) coming in a couple of days. I'm looking forward to that because golden flower tea is almost unbearably tasty.

Getting married about this time next year

I found from table runner patterns and I've started working on making some for the TV stand and what have you. I haven't had the energy to work on crafts, so I'm just excited I want to do it at. I can't wait to complete something again.

Remodeling a house and can't wait to move in - hoping for May, but probably June. I'm so excited about having my bed and coffee machine on the same level!

Visiting Paris next week for the first time. Trying to get slightly fluent asap with the Michel Thomas discs. Haven't planned well enough, it's going to be a mess.

Where's the good bread at?

Enjoy!

C'est parfait pour moi, merci! J'ai besoin de m'entraîner à lire davantage.

I didn't know they existed! I might wow them with my schoolgirl friend. "The mouse is in the tree crying" "in Spain the horse went rollerskating" etc etc

Next weekend. Got a couple things planned I'm excited for.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ooooh what are you going to do?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I plan to attend the big, monthly, bicycle cruise and i haven't been in a while. It will be a bit cold but i have the itch!

Then, I planned a little watch-party with friends for the MotoGP race. That is exciting and will be fun.

But there's one more thing that I'm excited and a little anxious for that I'm hesitant to say for fear of it blowing away. 😶

A few TV shows are the closest I get.

Ordering a split keyboard. I've been looking at several options on [email protected], I think I now know which one I want

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I had to Google what that was... what's the advantages?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Split keyboards are generally better for ergonomics as you can have your hands at a better angle and distance

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Ahhhh clever

I'm gonna be doing a homestay in the summer to improve my language skills. First time living with strangers and hopefully communicating almost entirely in target language: German. Got 4 months to prepare. I'm trying to learn as much as possible. Excited and nervous.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not to dampen your mood, but you might have to actively bring the Germans to speak German with you, they tend to immediately switch to their own broken English, although, it might also be a super fluent English depending on whom you met

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah I heard about that.

Although the whole purpose is to practice language for me and the host is aware of that so I'll try as much as possible to stick to German. My German is somewhere around the low B1 high A2 range. Hopefully 4 months can make it confidently B1. Idk

Oh and another thing. The types of people who immediately switch to fluent English are young people in cities. This is gonna be some small town in southern Germany. Hopefully their English isn't great either haha.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Oh southern german, village place. Then you will get either swabian or bavarian flavored German, both very cute dialects, although sometimes heavy. Enjoy the experience either way!

I'm going to see my best friend in America in autumn. I can't wait! I've already bought clothes for it and we're planning things to do

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Where are you going? How long will you be here? Are you planning to do some traveling or staying mostly in their city/state? Is this your first time here?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

10 days! She's in a really fun city but I won't say which one, just that the weather will be niiiiicceee and I'll need suncream but it won't be unbearable. We might travel but we've only got vague plans for that atm. I've been a few places in America and I have LOVED it each time.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That sounds really fun! I hope you get to see and do some awedome things!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Thanks Today I'm sure we will ☺️

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

we’re planning things to do

Make sure to include some plans for indoor activities in case you get to stay at a detention centre.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Oh heck, good thinking... I'd better bring a decks of cards with me

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wow, and i thought i was your best friend...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I meant my best friend in America, not overall. Obviously you're still my number one

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Sounds exciting!
