Such a smart little language-knowing cookie...

I am really proud of the fact that I had an MSN conversation entirely in Spanish with my friend Augusto :) He's from Argentina, he was on exchange in Quebec with me. Anyway, we actually conversed in Spanish! It was a pretty basic conversation, but it was actually really fun. Hopefully we'll get to do it again sometime - I miss Augusto. A ton, actually.

Course, at the same time as the Spanish convo, I was talking to my host mum in Canada in French. Words do not express how much I miss my host family. I just realised recently that it's been nearly a year since I left Quebec. How weird is that? And how much has changed since then... Sonia had a lot to say, it was really good to talk to her. She was looking at my MSN photo and told me that I'd lost a bit of weight and I was looking less like a little girl and more like a woman. That was kind of freaky. I knew I'd changed a lot during my year away, but I hadn't realised I'd changed since I was back. Well, I know I've changed, but I didn't think I'd changed physically. Does that make sense? I'm also not too sure if I like the fact that I look older... does it just mean that I'm getting old? Why am I worried about that anyway? It's silly.

By the way - it's June! How the heck did THAT happen?

Life is an unusual thing. It really is. I'm not sure what I'm going to do for the next few weeks. Much as I know that I desperately need this break, I also reckon I'm going to get bored quite easily. Then again, there are so many variables... so many things that could happen. And if they did, they'd change everything. Course, the actual chance of these things happening is remote, but still possibly. Frustratingly possible. But if you don't try, you'll spend the rest of your life thinking "what if" or "if only". In 3rd form Meg told me that. And I've never really taken that advice until now... she was right. I hope she knows that. If it works out, or even if it doesn't, I think she deserves to know that she wasn't talking out of a hole in her head. She actually had a point. And I'm fully aware that this doesn't really make that much sense. I have my reasons for avoiding being specific.

Already Wednesday of my first week off. STILL haven't tided my room. I will honestly do it by the end of the week. Honestly. I really, really will.

I found the coolest thing the other day. The Vision - in French. Just having it in a foreign language gives me a sense of how big it is, you know? God is God, whether you say Dieu, Dios, Gott or whatever. He's still God. It's amazing. It's crazy. Etonnant. Incroyable.
