Haha, yeah, the end coda was really so much fun to read :D Hmm, It's going so-so. These past months have been really stressful for me. I'm a bit on edge because I am moving in less than a month to the Netherlands. I'm going to study there for three years starting September, but I haven't been in school for 3 years. Most of the classes will be held in Dutch, and even though I am quite good at picking up new languages, I have a hard time trying to learn Dutch. It's so similar to German that I thought it wouldn't be a big deal, but the writing especially is giving me a hard time - so many false friends! So yeah, I've had a lot of things in my head and I'm constantly tired, even though I probably shouldn't be. In addition to that I recently re-read the second chapter and noticed how much I didn't like it. So i'm going to have to re-write most of it before I pick up where I left on the third one. I'm just really unsure about my writing. When you're not writing in your maternal language and you don't have much experience in the first place, you always feel like it could be better and you're not as eloquent as you'd like to be, taking the easy way out an repeating yourself. At least that's what it's like for me. Well, I'll still try to work more on it once I've moved - it's nearly been a year and I've hardy written anything. That's a bit frustrating. Thanks for asking, though. How are you? And your little girl? Sorry, this turned into an essay. Best wishes, <3 Anna
