I Love You Too!

I checked my blog stats like I do every so often, and I discovered that Germany loves me. I have had 71 views from Germany just this week! The next highest is 17 views from both Denmark and the United States. I don't even speak German! Well, I know a few words, but I can hardly form sentences. So, Germany, I just want to say that I love you too! So I guess that this post will be about all of the very few connections I have to Germany.

But first off, I have super duper exciting news! I had physical therapy today and I CAN TAKE BABY STEPS!!!!!! I am so extremely excited about this. You don't even understand what this means for me. I can get into the bathroom without my crutches and I can shower even when my legs aren't working. I'll be able to go back to two showers per day! I'll finally be able to dye my hair without worrying about the fact that I'll have to find some way to stand up for 30+ minutes. It's not the most efficient form of transportation so I'll still be using my wheelchair, but I'm getting my independence back. In conclusion, YAY!!!

Okay, so German stuff. I can count to 19 in German. I probably won't spell these correctly, but I can say them correctly so give me a break.  eine, zwei, drei, vier, funf, zex, zeben, acht, noin, zein, elf, zwelf, dreizein, vierzein, funfzein, zeczein, zebzein, achtzein, noinzein

I know the numbers because my 3rd and 4th grade teacher was German and she always counted us in German. We only had 19 kids in my class, which is why I can never remember 20.

Then, during my junior year of high school, we had a really cool foreign exchange student from Germany. Her name is Lena. She was in my spanish class and she was really good at spanish. One of my friends from high school is in Germany right now for the military. She's in the army. That's pretty much it. I don't really have any huge connections to Germany or anything, but I love you for loving me.

Now, using the powers of Google Translate, I am going to translate the whole post into German for my wonderful German readers. If the translation is incorrect, don't blame me, blame Google. I hope that if Google gets it wrong, it will at least be humorous.

Ich liebe dich auch!

Ich überprüfte mein Blog Stats wie ich jeder so oft tun, und ich entdeckte, dass Deutschland mich liebt. Ich habe 71 mal gesehen aus Deutschland hatte gerade in dieser Woche! Die nächsthöhere ist 17 Ansichten aus Dänemark und den Vereinigten Staaten. Ich weiß gar nicht Deutsch sprechen! Nun, ich weiß ein paar Worte, aber ich kann kaum bilden Sätze. Also, Deutschland, ich will nur sagen, dass ich dich liebe auch! So schätze ich, dass diese Stelle wird über alle der wenigen Verbindungen habe ich in Deutschland sein.


Aber erst ab, habe ich Super-Duper aufregende Neuigkeiten! Ich hatte heute und physikalische Therapie Ich kann Baby Steps !!!!!! Ich bin so sehr begeistert über diese aufgeregt. Sie brauchen nicht einmal verstehen, was dies für mich bedeutet. Ich kann in das Badezimmer ohne meine Krücken bekommen und ich kann Dusche, auch wenn meine Beine nicht funktionieren. Ich werde in der Lage sein, wieder zu zwei Duschen pro Tag! Ich werde endlich die Möglichkeit, meine Haare, ohne sich Gedanken über die Tatsache, dass ich einen Weg finden, aufzustehen für 30 + Minuten werde Farbstoff. Es ist nicht die effizienteste Form des Transports so werde ich noch mit meinem Rollstuhl, aber ich bin immer meine Unabhängigkeit zurück. Abschließend YAY!


Okay, also deutsche Sachen. Ich kann bis 19 in deutscher Sprache zählen. Wahrscheinlich werde ich nicht buchstabieren diese korrekt, aber ich kann sagen, sie richtig so gib mir eine Pause.

Ich kenne die Zahlen, weil mein 3. und 4. Klasse Lehrer war Deutscher und sie immer gezählt uns in deutscher Sprache. Wir hatten nur 19 Kinder in meiner Klasse, weshalb ich kann nie merken 20 ist.


Dann, während meiner Junior High School Jahr hatten wir eine wirklich coole Austauschschüler aus Deutschland. Ihr Name ist Lena. Sie war in meiner Klasse Spanisch und sie war wirklich gut Spanisch. Einer meiner Freunde aus der High School ist in Deutschland jetzt für das Militär. Sie ist in der Armee. Das ist so ziemlich alles. Ich weiß nicht wirklich irgendwelche großen Verbindungen nach Deutschland oder so, aber Ich liebe dich für mich zu lieben.


Nun kann mit der Befugnisse von Google Translate, werde ich den ganzen Beitrag in Deutsch für meine wunderbare deutschen Leser übersetzen. Wenn die Übersetzung falsch ist, nicht mir die Schuld, Schuld Google. Ich hoffe, dass wenn Google bekommt es falsch, es wird zumindest humorvoll.

SNOW!!!

Guess what everyone? I'm not dead and it's snowing! I quit coughing up blood after a little bit yesterday and today I still have a sore throat and cough, but no fever.  I had physical therapy today and my legs are so tired that I can't even bend my knees now.  Today I only had one class, but in my mind it was Monday. On Mondays, I get a ride back from my first class at 11:45. On Tuesdays, I get a ride back from class at 11:25. So since I thought today was Monday, I missed my ride. The big problem is that since my phone isn't working, I couldn't call to get a ride. The other problem is that I only have their number on my phone.  So I went back in the building and there was this girl using a laptop. She let me use it to look up the number and then borrow her phone.  I had to wait an hour for my ride so we talked. She was pretty cool and she gave me her number in case I ever need a ride.  I had sweet potato fries at lunch and they were so delicious. Now it's snowing really hard.  There's an extra credit movie tonight for my Finnish class but I'm not going to go, because it is 3 hours long and this snow will really be piled up by then. I wouldn't want to get stuck across campus. Also, there's the issue of finding someone to give me a ride there in the snow. So I'm going to stay in my warm little dorm room and write a paper on the physics of parkour, which I just found out this morning needs to be 6-10 pages SINGLE-spaced.  For those of you who can't do math, that's like 12-20 pages double spaced. Yikes. I also have to write a paper for my drugs and society class, but that one's just 4 pages, double spaced.  And I still need to develop a basic understanding of relativity that's more than just light has the same speed no matter what, because that's all I understand about it now and my midterm is on Thursday. Maybe it will snow a ton and the midterm will be postponed. That would be nice. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I just found out that they're making an Odd Thomas movie! That's one of my favorite books ever! And I only have to wait until 2013 to see it.

You know what? After I start being able to walk again (well a while after, like when I'm capable of running), I'm going to start doing parkour. It might even help with my fear of heights. It might help with my asthma too. This Carolynn Grigsby girl over on youtube is pretty skilled and I happen to be competitive so I want to become as good at it as she is.

Random Stuff

I almost fell asleep multiple times during my physics class this morning.  Normally I combat this by doodling in the margins of my notes, but my margins were already full from the previous day's doodlings.  My driver is training a new driver, and the new guy almost took out a bicyclist.

I have my first physical therapy appointment today.  I hope that it is actually helpful. That would be really great.  There's nothing I would like more for my birthday than the ability to walk again.

I discovered this girl yesterday on Flickr. She is amazingly creative and talented. You should go check out her work. I would share some of her photos on here but they are just too cool to allow me to save them on my computer, so you'll just have to see for yourself.

Sayonara, blogsters.
