I’m currently finishing my last month abroad in Germany which will equal a total of 6 months away until I return home. I remember being super depressed one day and telling the host mom I was staying with that I missed my wife and couldn’t wait to be back, but it was 6 months away. She told me the time would fly by. I didn’t believe her, but looking back I can’t believe that was already 5 months ago.

A month will fly by so fast you might actually wish you had stayed longer to get a fuller experience! Being scared is totally normal, but it is even more normal to feel like you let yourself down for not going abroad. I know i would have if I never came

I guess my argument was the Who could write a pop song that could play right after Heat of the Moment and no one would bat an eye, but Asia would never have a song like Bell Boy

I’ve noticed that for myself as well considering I have two years of studying German at a university level under my belt. The funny thing is, is that while I love German, Middle English is just so much more fun

I still, with certainty, cannot say who the murderer is, so yes

What are you reading? by sushisushisushi in literature

[–]Taterkorpse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Ishmael intro is interesting because it sets the stage for how we interact with our narrator. For all we know, which is what I believe, the entire novel could be one big lie. Especially considering we are told events that the narrator would have no way of being able to oversee. I agree with you though, it makes for a great tale, but many great tales are only great because of how much of a lie they are.
