So, I HATE reading things that switch back and forth between fonts. Seriously, is it that hard to use CAPS or lowercase? Why must it be all discombobulated? That is why I made the title the way I did.
Anyway, since that comment has NO relavance to the purpose of this blog, I will let you know about my weekly reading. This week I decided to try and read the news for fifteen minutes everyday. I never realized how DEPRESSING (there are my all caps again) the news is. Why must every news story be depressing? Honestly, reading the news makes me much more stressed than excited. I read the news for about 45 minutes total this week, but it was HARD (ugg I think I am addicted to all caps) to do. I wish news was happier sometimes, why can't we hear about the 90 year old lady who ran a marathon or something? Hopefully without injury, but if she died, that would be in the news for sure.
This week I also read for two hours in my Belarus book because I feel as though I am not learning much in that class. Although the teacher tries, I just cannot focus with her method of teaching. Did you know in Belarus they have Women's Day? On this day, men are expected (they HAVE to basically (ug, caps!)) buy their significant other presents. This day is to promote the appreciation of women who work, clean, and produce children. I like this idea. It is similar to mother's day, but it is for every woman, not just mommies.
Well, I have the pleasure of riding in a car for 18 hours tomorrow! I am taking three books with me, as well as motion sick pills so I can read. Yes, I am that hard core that I have to take medicine to be able to read in the car :) The picture is from my parents house-area. My destination kind of. :)
That is all for now, although I could gladly write for an hour or so about my life and other fun things. I guess that makes me a nerd? Maybe. Who knows.
If you want to learn how to do an authentic Belarusian Dance, I can teach you. I thought I should tell you this because it is something that for sure comes up in every day life. Just saying.
I have to say that Women's Day does sound like a winner to me! What woman doesn't like presents!? I think that it would be hard to read the news every morning. I try to read the news when I am home at my parent's house but still fairly depressing. Maybe you could try reading articles out of the lifestyle or sports sections... less depressing unless your team losses.
