So, I guess I’ll make my introduction then…
I’m a 19 year old, German-speaking girl from Switzerland and I just moved to Spain three months ago. Because half of my family is Spanish (I don’t speak the language though…), I can live here at my grandparent’s place, which is rather nice. Typical countryside house with two beautiful gardens and a pool. Also, school only takes 2 hours a day, which means, I have a lot of free time.
However, I already know, that I won’t stay here forever. As weird as it may sound - I actually enjoy rainy, cold weather a lot more than the frequent sun we have here and thus, I’m planning to move to a northern country (I really like England) as soon as I can (which won’t be too soon, really).
I chose to live here, because I want to learn as many languages as possible and of couse, having grandparents here, I couldn’t resist the opportunity, even though Spanish was never on my list of languages I really wanted to learn.
My grandparents actually lived in the French part of Switzerland for quite a long time, that’s why we mostly speak French with each other - which is a good thing, because like that, I can improve my French a lot, but then again, my Spanish didn’t really improve… at all. I laughed at the uno, dos, tres, four-description in the registration-form, because that pretty much sums it up.
Yeah well. I’m a quick learner, so with school and all, that really shouldn’t be a problem to me (also, Spanish is a really easy language. I understand pretty much all of it - I just don’t speak it yet^^).
Being me, I have a lot of difficulties to bond with people. I don’t like partying at all and I’m a rather cold person that doesn’t speak a lot (unless I know the other person and it’s a conversation I’d actuall enjoy. I’m really not shy at all, just quickly annoyed and bad at not showing it >.<). Adding that to the fact, that I’m living with my grandparents in a rather isolated place, I’ll probably be kind of lone… no. I better not finish that sentence, because it would sound like a very desperate chick, trying to find friends over the internet. Which I’m not, by the way 😛
But really. I could use a good dose of young people around me again (that are not trying to convince me to join their liver-abuse and ridiculously spastic moves they call “dancing” every friday night *sigh* - aren’t there any young people who enjoy a good book or even an Anime anymore? (“reeeally, you’re into that kinda stuff? But you don’t LOOK like that!” <—what does that mean anyways? 100 pounds more and a sample board on my head?))
So yes. Apparently I’m so plain and normal and average, it hurts. But I’m okay with being average, because that means, I’m the girl who actually sent her friends a banana in the mail (MLIA just rocks.)
Excuse me while I listen to my grandmother ranting about how I don’t eat enough and how I should really go to sleep, because staying up too late is bad for my health *sigh*
