The term is nearly over and I'm glad.. We're going to Melbourne next week with a few of my friends to a youth camp. It should be heaps of fun!!
I just read a book for English called Cinnamon Rain, by Emma Cameron. I really liked it. I nearly didn't read it because of the way it was written. But I ended up reading because I had no books left.
An excerpt from my assignment is

Cinnamon Rain is written in a different style of writing. The lines are set up in a nearly random order., it seems that the lines are broken up where the reader would naturally pause. But whatever it is, it is refreshing to read something that is different. Cinnamon Rain stands on a line between poetry and prose, it’s really neither.

Sometimes I have thought that poetry or prose novels can be rather restricting, but certainly not with Cinnamon Rain.  

It's only for year 10 english, so it doesn't have to be too amazingly written. 

But if you see it in a library or bookstore, give it a go.  I think it is nothing like the blurb. 

It must be something about me and posting on the first day of the month. I am going to try better this month! Well here's to hoping..

I know I haven't been on here for ages. i'm thinking of deleting all my posts and turning it into a craft blog, but lets see what happens. I'm back to school and it's boring as.. but next week is work experience and I get to go with the handwork teacher at my school, and we're doing yarn bombing with the year 8s, so life is looking up next week. I'll post a picture or two..

Germans think Australians are kind of weird. But they are very gullible. So far I have convinced people that I have a baby kangaroo named Ruby. They believed me until I started laughing maniacally. 

They can't process the idea of having Christmas in Summer. They are amazed that we go swimming on Christmas day and that we eat lots of ice cream. Also that it can get up to around 38 degrees. 

They think its weird that I have only seen snow twice, and can't ski very well. 

They feel sorry for us in Australia that we don't have Christmas Markets. 

I have a friend who ate a bit of Vegemite and then said very loudly "My dog eats that". But she's from Georgia (the country) so it might be a little different. 

I find it weird how accents change here. If the Germans spoke English in the same voice/accent as they  speak German they would sound fine. When they speak English it sounds very funny, and all the 'th' sounds turn into a t or a weird sound that I can't replicate written down. 

They have some food that is different here. The bread is much yummier, its called brochen and its like a big roll. They have curry ketchup, which I haven't decided if I like or not. 

they don't have to wear helmets when riding a bike, which I find exhilarating when riding without a helmet going fast with my hair out behind me, I feel like i'm nearly flying. 

I can't think of much more, but when I do I will write more. i should get to bed, and stop editing playlists and writing this. 

I thought it was about time i started a blog to share my ideas i have. I'm not very good at keeping up with anything, but I will try very hard to keep updating this blog. 

At the minute I am in Germany on exchange, this might explain why my English is so bad. School is nearly finished, one week to go!! and then onto other countries!! I am very excited. Growing up in Australia means you don't get to see many countries, so Germany is my second country i've been to. EVER. Every one thinks that is weird here. 

I will try very hard to keep updating this... but let's see what happens.
