Baby Trilingual

English is my first full language. In high school I took French, and I'm taking it again now. But over the summer, i went to Deutschland and learned German. 

I am terrified to open my mouth in French class because German might come out. 

Today was the first day of classes and my instructor wrote un dictionnaire on the board. She asked us to describe it. 

My mind: "oh that's easy. Es ist eine Wörterbuch." I was thinking, in English, "a dictionary is a word book" and since dictionary in German is literally word-book, my mind went to German before French. 

This is a real problem. *sigh*

the gorgeous music of the soul

I watched the movie August Rush today. It's a movie about music and love and heartbreak and becoming found. 

I couldn't find paper fast enough, so I wrote on magazine ads with a sharpie. I may use these notes later for collage or something, but for now I want to record them and release them. 



These are my notes. I don't know if they're really legible, but is that really the point?
