More to come:

     I am so sorry I have been aweful about updating this blog. I suppose I always have my journal to rely on if I have to resort to just telling the entire story when I get back.

I hopefully will get pictures from my trip to Paris up. 

     I must admit that in some ways its nice to keep forgetting to update my blog because it is less to have to remember to do. This in no way lessens my being a despicable human being though.

    Seriously good thing that my journal is very detailed.

exploration

Dear Jolie,
     Remember how in kindergarden when you would tell the teacher you wanted to be an explorer when you grow up? You were imagining a safari hat and binoculars. You were going to wander through rain forests and canoe the Amazon river. Did you know being an explorer never waited that long?
     You have always been exploring! From discovering your own feet to exploring that fishin' spot we all love so dearly. You explore by the books you pour over and (well I will let Mr. Hubble do the talking here) "Equipt with his five sences man explores the universe around him and calls the adventure science."
     Well. You certainly are on one of your grandest adventures yet! From this experience you will learn so much. Learning isn't always easy but I know you can do it.
     I want you to know how proud of you I am and how much I love you but that seems a bit too self indulgent. Instead of that I will continue to push you. I will push you through every stupid decission and every brilloant idea because in the end they really are one and the same. I am going to push you to your breaking point, watch you snap and let you make yourself stronger.
     Turns out you cannot bottle emotion or moments. Let it all happen and work with what you have.
Love,
Jolie
   
   

update!

     I had to move host families but am feeling much better in my new placement. I guess I can say I sure learned a lot from that experience and did leave with good friends.
     It is harder to adjust to a new school for the second time but I think I will like this new school just fine. I am now studying something I chose (science) and am in a class with 3 boys. There are four people in the class.
     Things are looking up for me now.

Merry Christmas!

My obsurvation on life today:
"You don't know what you have until it is gone" is a LIE!
   You know EXACTLY what you have. You just don't know what it means to you or you take it for granted OR you even grow so used to it you don't think to think of anyother way.
     I had a nice day and am doing well but I couldn't help but think.

Update!

     The otherday I went with some friends to the Christmas market in Brussels and had a ball! I will try to get pictures up soon!

Music

      When you ask me what my favorite song is I can't seem to give just one answer.

I used to think that I was just so interested in different languages and styles that I couldn't decide but now I think it's a bit deeper than that.

Now I think that every song I like speaks to a different part of who I think I am. Just as I beleive that a person can't be explained in one word they can't be entirely explained in one song.

Smile!

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!
