English Recordings

Today is June 18, 2010 in the morning, and it is the third day I am writing in my diary. I just want to mention that this note is for the previous whole day, thus June 17.
I got up at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, so I slept for 7 hours since I went to bed at 6 o'clock in the morning or maybe even later.
First of all I read all my new emails. Amongst these emails was an email from my German tutor Reinhard. He sent me a conversation report from our tuesday's conversation including an audio file. I really like his conversation reports. They are always very in details and I can see my mistakes that I did during the conversation before. Anyway, Reinhard is interested in learning Czech, so I recorded his own German text, which I firstly translated to Czech.
After checking my emails I went to the kitchen and made beans with sausage on the fryingpan. I put there some spice, such as pepper, salt and hot chilli. It was not too bad, but maybe too spicy. I was watching Friends while eating as usual. I mean, It is kind of my habit that I always watch something while eating. After watching several episodes, I had a shower and then went to bed. There I listened to my diary's recordings from yesterday and day before yesterday. I felt really relaxed when I lied on my bed and listened to English.
I even felt asleep since I went to bed pretty late. I should really change my life style, but I just dont mind now, but I know that it will not take long time and I will have to change it anyway.
Perhaps at 6:30 I went shopping with Max whom is my british housemate. We always talk together while walking to the shop. It is always a good possibility to practise English, because he usually does not have time during the day to speak. Unfortunately, we did not speak about anything interesting today. It was really nice weather. The sky was clear, without clouds, just some marks after planes, which make the sky more interesting.
Anyway, my mum gave me a call at 9:00 p.m. and we talked about how we are. I haven't mentioned in my diary so far that I've been living in England for some time and my parents are in my country - in the Czech Republic. So they call me some time. Today I did not expect that call, because usually my parents call me on Sunday.
After that call I wrote a text in German about the Czech Republic in order to practice German for a bit today. I think that it belongs amongst basic topics to know while talking to people - to inform them a bit about my country.
Anyway, at midnight I went to the kitchen to heat a hamburger in the oven and I chatted with my housemate a bit.
Perhaps around 1 o'clock in the morning I went to go for a walk around the streets wearing my headphones and listening to some English. I like walking early morning - everywhere is silence - nobody nowhere! The sky was so clear that stars were seen quite well.It is not so common here though. I saw cats and even a fox. I have already seen many foxes running around the streets ever since I've been here.
Anyway, I thought about making a day plan every day - what to do next each day, because it is really great to chatch everything. I should do some research for my university, but I always do something else rather than that research. Learning languages is really time consuming and I want to be perfect at that. Ok, my diary, I promise you that I will do something for my research tomorrow!
Well, thats everything for today. Goodbye tomorrow!

Where are my pants?

What types of specialties do you have for dinner tonight? What type of wine would you recommend be paired with that?

He was the eldest son of a large family; without being aware of it he got his sunny outlook from them, and I had been drawn to it. But what I needed now was the Tanabe’s strange cheerfulness, their tranquility, and I didn’t even consider trying to explain that to him. It wasn’t especially necessary, and I knew it would be impossible anyway.
When I got together with Sotaro, it was always like that.
Just being myself made me terribly sad.

“Well, bye.”
From deep in my heart, my eyes asked the question:
Before it’s too late, do you still feel anything for me?
“Chin up, kid!” He smiled, but the answer was clear in his own eyes.
“Okay,” I said, and waving, we parted. The feeling traveled to some infinitely distant.

“This Tanabe guy,” he said, “I hear he’s pretty weird.”
“I wouldn’t know,” I said. “I hardly ever see him ...and we don’t talk much. They just took me in like they would a dog. It’s not that he especially likes me or anything. So I don’t know anything about him. And I had no idea about that stupid incident.”

“It’s just that I often don’t understand who you like, or love, or whatever,” said Sotaro. “In any case it seems like a good thing for you. How long are you going to stay there?”
“I don’t know.”
“Well, hadn’t you better decide?” he said, laughing.
“I intend to,” I answered.

On the way home we walked through the park. There was a good view of the Tanabes’ building through the trees.

“That’s where I live,” I said, pointing it out.
“How great – right next to the park. If I lived there I’d get up every morning at five and take a walk.” Sotaro smiled. He was very tall, and I was always looking up at him. Glancing at his profile, I thought, if I were with him, he would…he would grab me by the hair, force me to decide on an apartment and pull me kicking and screaming back to school.

I loved his hearty robustness, I thirsted after it, but in spite of that I couldn’t keep pace with it, and it made me hate myself. In the old days.
