Govorim hrvatski ( I speak Croatian)

Go-vo-rum her-vat-ski...there, now you too can speak a little Croatian. I've found myself doing things lately that I've always put off since I was a teenager...until now. Yes, I have to admit Fedja has a lot of influence when it comes to the second language decision, but again, I've wanted to learn croatian since I was 16. So, I know for a fact that I'll knock his socks off this next month when he comes to visit and I say the following:

"Dobro jutro Fedja. Ja sam Cassie razumeijem hrvatski, kako ste?"

Basic translation: "good morning Fedja, my name is Cassie and I understand Croatian, how are you?"

Not only that, but I've finally started learing "baby chords" on my guitar, and have progressed nicely on my voice lessons. In all honesty I don't know where all this determination is coming from, but I figured I've been putting off stuff I want to learn how to do long enough. I'm turning 25 this year, and to some that's no big deal, but to a 24 year old, it's enough! I mean, what the heck do I have to say for myself, I've been alive on this earth for 24 years straight, and what do I have to show for it? Not only that, but I've somehow managed awaken my muse from her 4 year coma and have been writing everyday! Nothing yet, just ideas, storylines, poetry, random thoughts. It's quite exciting!

I talked to my counselor about Seattle. She's not pleased with me because if I had made better grades, then transferring to AIS wouldn't be a hassle, but since I got a very nawsty grade in my first quarter, it's getting held over my head, not to mention the fact that I should have just moved to Seattle in the first place seeing as how going to school was pointless because of the program structure at AIS. *sigh...I almost wanted to bawl because I'm now officially scared that I won't be able to go! I'm going to be spending a lot of time on my knees with an empty stomach I'll just tell you that now. I haven't thought about what would happen if I didn't go, I haven't let myself plan that far ahead yet, for right now I'm planning on moving to Seattle in mid Sept. If I don't get accepted, then I guess I'm stuck here until I can remedy the situation!

That's it fer now...so on that note, do videnja, laku noc'. (goodbye and good night!)
