Spring makes me reflective in a slightly cheese filled way

Sometimes I feel like the misfit kid sister who always shows up to family events with her hair a mess and sleep in her eyes and coffee stains on her shirt. I'm not quite sure who the older sister would be, though. But I'm the kooky one, for sure

it's so funny that I just read your post, bc a second ago I was freaking out (just a little) over my german and I was running after my teacher, bc in response to a question about what I thought about a book I was supposed to read, I said I didn't think about it, bc I thought he was refering to a more specific question some one else had asked earlier. Maybe our situations are different bc I'm in Vienna where everbody speaks fluent german and it makes me feel really insecure about my german major, but I think it's moreso that I feel weird about the weird american students who think they're big schtick for being able to speak german. Even though I like the study of german, I have to sit back and laugh at the people who think they're better than everbody else, bc there are millions of people who actually speak the language! I sometimes have to step back and look at what I'm studying to see how silly the subject is compared to how people act about it.
I also have lots of experience in thinking about this subject because I'm also a music major, and that's just insanely stressful bc you have to be in a relaxed state of mind to play your instrument well, and musicians that I'm around (namely, oboists) are the most insanely stressful kind of people. I like to work with the other people because I have nice colleagues, but during juries (end of year exams for music performance students) when I have this crazy girl who constantly yells at everyone for not keeping the reed room clean (which will never be clean bc in making reeds, it produces wood shavings), I like to work at home. Plus I don't feel self conscious about what I'm working on bc no one's there to criticize me. Anyways, you really hit a button there with me! I think I need to go out and buy some flowers. Your post was really great, I'm glad that you can be this way during the end of the semster! Good luck on your paper and tell us how it all goes.

For the most part I really enjoy being around my classmates, but sometimes it's hard being around a group of 16 girls all freaking out over papers. It's just nice to take a step back and put things in perspective.
