Dear reader
To run is like fighting against yourself. You can't breath. You can't stop. You can't walk. You can run. You run away from your negative thoughts. You run away from homework - from concerns - and even from yourself sometimes.
You are clearing your mind on a run, and it feels good, when you first get into it.
But please be careful. You have to listen to yourself on a run as well! If you push yourself too hard, please slow down and follow your body's needs. Again, be careful. Don't slow too much down. You have to find a good balance in your speed, so you feel like you push yourself a little bit but not too much. It can be hard sometimes... sometimes it just happens without you are aware of it. That's the whole process... and sometimes you get wind against you - or rain - or even snow? It can be hard to breath, and your tempo slows down, even though you wish you were home in a situation like this. I do.
But home is far away, and you have to keep on running, until you reach the goal! That is the whole point of running. To reach the goal, and to keep on going and moving no matter what.
I am running everyday. When I sleep and when I am awake, I am running.
When I am sitting in my class. When I am eating lunch. When I am talking with my friends. When I am tired. When I do rehearsals for the musical. When I practice steel band. When I do a presentation in front of the class. When I am happy. When I am sad. When I am shopping. When I meet new people. When I am having to speak English all the time, and when it is frustrating. When it is fun.
I am running.
I keep running.
In rain, in snow - in wind.
I run!
98 days left!
I run!
To run is being an exchange student. You have uphills and downhills on your way. Some of the hills might be bigger or smaller than others. It might be hard, but the goal is to keep running and reach the goal.
A run can be the best and worst experience at the same time. You are enjoying to get out and exercise in the nature, but you are also having a hard time breathing, and you might be sore in your legs. But you run, and you don't stop.
That is all you can ask for.
I have been running since August the 9th. 7 months.
I got a lot of uphill in front of me, and I am getting ready to do it. It is going to be easy. Just smile, and pretend I am flying.
Attitude is all that matters on a run. Even when you force a smile on your lips, it usually makes you smile for real after a little while.
Now I am flying. The sun comes up, and I can see the last few months... about three will be a course I can handle. It might be hard to keep it up, but I will never stop flying!!! And I will never stop smiling! Promise! :D
I can only ask for one thing? Do you run? If so, I will ask you to keep it up and keep flying and smiling! That makes the goal worth it. You decide how far you want to run or how fast, but never stop believing in yourself. I do, and I know that if you do too, you can do it!
I know my blogging is a little different this time. I just decided I wanted to share my feelings about being an exchange student. I hope my description of running was understandable! :D It was my only way of describing it. I love to run myself, and the other day, when I went out for a run, I started to think about how much a run reminded me of the process of being an exchange student. A run just explains a lot about life in general, if you think about it. So if you ever have a bad day, then think that there will always be gold at the end of the rainbow!
Tomorrow will always be better!
This week is pretty full and amazing. I have to meet at 10 o'clock every day, since people are taking the OGT test right now. I have to take the Science and Social Studies again, but that's okay, even though I don't understand why?
And then I have 3 presentations about Denmark, musical rehearsals and steel band. I decided to take one thing at a time, when I am having a lot of things to do at once. That is the only way forward, and I am going to follow that.
Take care my dear friends!
I wish you all a good run and an amazing day! :D
Keep smiling and shinning! Spring is on the corner (even when you have snow)
It is the month of MARCH!
Love,
On a run in Denmark!
Paa stylter at slate run! Just keep trying and you will fly! :D
Jules :D
