I'm Back Arnold

Okay, so my friend Cherie is making me want to pull up my darn holey socks and get writing. She has this awesome blog where she writes about all this stuff and doesn't care whether it is the stuff of a literary genius - no, it is just honest down to earth writing. And that's what I think my problem is with writing - I put this stigma on it that it has to be riddled with puns, and perfect wording and simies and metaphors and idioms and alliteration and all the rest which we never bothered to actually understand in school. But why should I spend hours writing, pausing, searching for better words, and then editing and then re-editing it when all my ideas wander away from me. No. NO MORE I SAY. I am now going to write whether or not it sounds nice or not. To my primary school english teacher: Yes I use the word Nice - because I will not waste my time trying to find a fancy snynym and because I bloody well feel like it. So there. Yes i am back Arnold.
I'm not writing. I am letting my thoughts flows through my fingers, tip tipping away on my keyboard.
Okay so I have now moved back to Geneva after nearly a 2 month holiday back home in South Africa. Being back in Europe is a wonderful feeling - being so close to cities of which I dream. I am working for a family here, au pairing 3 boys (AGAIN I know)
I have applied to school in August and April when that letter comes in the mail, it will be my deadline. My deadline to start the foundation course (apon acceptance, bien sûr) or starting another adventure: either finding an apartment of my own and doing some odd job, or finding an interneship or doing the most crazy thing I have ever thought of: moving to New York City or Vancouver with no plan. Of course I'm not going to be an illegail alien (yup i'm humming the song in my head) Im going to do all the research.
So April is when.
Anyhownow, I have a few things on my list now that I am settled in my new job:

Attend cardio-boxing twice a week

find french classes and attend them of course dur

find FRIENDS!!!!! Being new in geneva means i need a new social circle. I have Cherie, my odd but awesome american friend, but sadly sniff tear tear she will be leaving me in August to go and be responsible and start university. I also cannot carry on living vicariously through the movies I watch.

Attend more functions and events

Explore geneva's gems. One never really explores the city they live in, thinking they'll live there forever.

and ya that's about it

so bye for now and i will see you tomorrow maybe
