German again

So, I dug out my German textbook and started to do a little review after such a long pause. Funny to say, after having learned Norwegian, I no longer feel it’s that difficult to study German. I guess it’s because Norwegian is also a Germanic language.

S. rang me this morning while I was still asleep. I thought he would be stuck in Bali due to the typhoon. Good to know that he is back and safe and sound.

I was watching TV news while preparing my lesson tonight and I glimpsed that the weather has been scorching hot in Arizona, 48 degrees Celsius! The TV showed some images of ongoing lightening as well. It really makes one wonder what is going on in our world? Is it really the end of the world? Is it the fulfillment of the Apocalypse? Therefore, one thought came over me: why bother to care so much about things in life? I don’t need to worry about what people think of me, not to the extent to affect my own feelings. After all, we are all going to die sooner or later. Accordingly, we should live to the fullest of our own lives.

Yeah, I do feel revitalized in reading German again. I just love learning languages. I believe the neurons in my brain are very active and doing their best to acquire new skills. I know I will sleep well tonight, no doubt. Time to read Amy Tan again…
