    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

      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?

        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.

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

    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?

        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. 😶

    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.

      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

        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.

          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 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!
