dares.

Today I was continuously being dared by Jason.

I hugged a stranger.

I drank out of a stranger's italian soda.

I loved today.

Ghandi

I just sit in German class, and chill. Each word that comes out of her mouth I understand. It feels comforting hearing German. Even when it is a different accent from hearing people in Switzerland speak German. I feel safe. I feel back in my little bubble of last year.

Time goes through my head, always time. What was I doing last year at this time? How was I feeling? So, I decided to look at my journal from last year.

I was in Italy this time last year.

October 1, 2009

Day 48 in Switzerland. Day 2 in Italy.

'Today was a great day!! Sam and I woke up in the morning, but I woke up late.. I was so tired, so I had 10 minutes to get ready, which works. Last night was one of my insomniac nights. We ate breakfast in our hotel. 2 croissants, 1 kiwi, 1 banana, earl grey green tea and two slices of meat. After eating we took a two hour or so car ride to Porto Fino. It was nice. We walked by the Mediterranean sea and went to churches. The sea was so blue. Sam's host father bought us gelato. I got chocolate chip, sam got strawberry.

I am so happy to be by the sea.

Then , we drove the car Cinique Terra. It was a very windy road to get there and I became car sick. The roads are unbelieabley small and its hard to comprehend that there are not many crashes. I loved seeing the architecture of Cinque Terra.

We ordered lunch, there were a lot of tourists. English kept on flooding in my ears, I couldn't concentrate. My mind kept on following the conversation of the married couple by us. It was intriguing to understand every. single. word coming out of there mouths. Part of me wanted to stand up and shot "hey!! I am from the states too!" but, sat still, and kept on speaking German to Sam's host family. Familiarity= English. German is difficult.'

There are more paragraphs, but it may be pointless to read.

I discussed yesterday in German class to my friend Will, who suffered from insomnia the night before, that it is weird that I am in this class, when I can speak German fluently. I told him I wish I would of chose Chinese instead of German, sense I can already speak it.

Will: "I could never replace the energy with someone else in that chair"

Me: "You couldn't?"

Will: "Well, I maybe could.. if I could bring Ghandi back from the dead."

Yesterday I was compared to Ghandi. Wow.

It made me smile. So I shall stay in German and flow back to the familiarity of German. Quite the opposite of how I felt last year at this time :)

lil glowing specs of light.

One of the finest days of the summer,

I dived deep

dark andddddddddd cold

in the puget sound.

there were pretty little lights

that outlined every motion of my body

and every design i made, it followed.

phosphorescence.

one of my favorite things in summer is the phosphorescence.

goodbye, dear summer.

goodbye phosphorescence.

Words of wisdom that I should remember.

so here we go little one.

breathe in the new day

with hopeful spirits.

I know its early

and the day seems gray

but

with these tears

brings in compassion.

compassion, and awareness.

so I say, live in the moment.

don't waste this

this, now, is special

and perfect.

be thankful,

out of all, give thanks

because time seems to go

so slowly.

but you look back, and it passed

so

fast.

This universe, this world,

Loves you unconditionally.

so love your self.

above all.

love yourself.

one night to be confused, one night to speed up truth.

Hmmm, opportunities.
