So yes, it's almost the autumn holidays. I really don't understand the structure of the Dutch school year; they seem to have about a million more days off than we do in the US. Not that I'm complaining, though. A week off from school (actually a little more, since I'm leaving on the AFS trip to BERLIN tomorrow) will be quite nice.
My brain is going all weird. My English has actually deteriorated...I find myself using really, really odd words and sentence constructions sometimes and I have to wonder what happened hahaha. Dutch is getting better, I suppose. I understand a lot in school now, although my ability to speak it myself is not too impressive. French is also kind of screwed up. I can understand it fine, both reading and listening. But when it comes to speaking, I can never seem to get out what I want to say. I always end up inserting a Dutch word instead. Crazy, crazy. Also, yesterday there was a test in French class and we had to translate sentences. I kept trying to put them into Dutch, only to realize that they were already IN Dutch. Aghhh! Confusing.
Speaking of languages getting mixed up, I don't seem to be using a particular language for thinking anymore. I used to think clearly, definitely in English, but now I kind of just have thoughts without words put to them, or with words from different languages put to them. Very, very weird.
