Where have you gone...

So, focusing more on myself, I try to remember where my thirst for knowledge has gone.
I loved to learn, but that somehow got lost lately...
I have tons of books that are waiting to be read.
I bought Chinese, Japanese and Arabic language books and CDs, and I haven't touched them lately.
I was standing in my room today, looking at all those things. I hadn't properly looked at them in a while. Simply just didn't have the time to do it.
Today I took the time, and it triggered something inside me. I took out some of the books and started reading. I played the Arabic language course CD again and tried to remember what I had learned.
I listened to different CDs, bringing me back to places where I had travelled.
I will surely not change from one day to the other, but I will keep digging into those treasures that are sitting on my bookshelves, waiting to be read.

I know exactly how you are feeling...in my bookshelf, I have my Russian, Japanese and Italian learning books and materials, and haven't touched them lately either, or never at all :-) When I bought them (while I was still a very active AIESECer), I told myself: "This is for after AIESEC, so I don't forget". Same counts for literature. Sooo many books I still want to read (also in my bookshelf), so many things I still crave to learn. I haven't managed to put that into action yet, because now it's work that is keeping me busy, but soon, once I have a better rhythm, I will get there. Probably only after Christmas though :-p All those dinners, aahhh.

Good luck with everything!!

Gros bisous and kram kram
