Time to think...

So much has happened in the last week or so so I think I am going to break it up into a few blog posts, which might take a while, so in the mean time I thought I would let you guys expand your minds. The "6 monthers" as I like to refer to them, or old AFS'ers, also known as the kids who were here in Switzerland on exchange for 2010 (came in January 2010) just left this week to head home, and its got the rest of us thinking a lot about our time here, and how we've changed, what weve done, what we still want to do, and ofcourse, how good is our german?? I promise to post a little on this later, but in all the thinking, we got in to quotes, and so I thought I would put up some of my favorites that ive aquiered, found explain my life, or finally understand after the past few months. As you might suspect many of them are about finding yourself, as if nothing else, an Exchange year is one of the best ways to go out and figure out the real you...even if it takes a while...enjoy. =)


What doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger.


And Hansel said to Gretel, “Let us drop these breadcrumbs so that together we find our way home because losing our way would be the most cruel of things.” 
....And losing your way on a journey is unfortunate, but losing your reason for the journey is a fate more cruel.
....But when the destination was reached, it wasn’t me who arrived. It wasn’t me at all.
.... And once you lose yourself, you have two choices: find the person you used to be or lose that person completely.
.... Because sometimes you have to step outside the person you’ve been and remember the person you were meant to be. The person you wanted to be. The person you are.


Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. Its about learning to dance in the rain.

Who knows where life can take you, the road is long, but in the end, the journey is the destination. 

-Sometimes the greatest rewards in life ; come from doing the things that scare you the most.

Nathanial Hawthorne - "No man for any considerable period can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true."


I just wanna live a life I'm gonna remember even if I don't write it down......


Life begins at the end of your Comfort zone.


There are over six billion people in the world. Six billion souls. But sometimes all you need is one


 E.E. Cummings- ‘Be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best night and day to make you everybody else. It means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight and never stop fighting.’


Khaleel Jubran - “Your reason and your passion are the rudder and sails of your seafaring soul. If either be broken, you can but toss and drift or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas.


Wayne Gretzky - "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take" so take your best shots.


Never let the fear of striking out, keep you from playing the game.


Ida Scott Taylor - "Do not look back and grieve over the past, for it is gone. And do not be troubled about the future, for it has yet to come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering."


Abraham Lincoln - "And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years."


Does your brain hurt yet??? =)) Until later....
