Good news makes me cry: Random rant on enthusiasm
http://robinmswartz.blogspot.com/2010/08/random-rant-on-enthusiasm.html
Good news makes me cry. Sharing the happy, inspiring stories I find in and around Lansing, Michigan. Tuesday, August 17, 2010. Random rant on enthusiasm. During a bout of insomnia last night, this fell out of my brain:. Enthusiasm is underrated. People who don’t – or can’t, or refuse to – get excited about things frustrate me. How can you go through life feeling ho-hum and blasé about the world around you all the time? I figured I’d beaten everyone else and could just plow ahead to the next chapter.

Monday, November 26, 2007. How to get little kids to love you. 1) mention "High School Musical" as much as possible. 2) do the Macarena in class. One little girl didn't know the song and she felt pretty left out. After class, our exchange went like this:. Emilie, emilie, peux tu m'apprendre le macarena la semaine prochaine? OK YOU ARE SO CUTE I LOVE YOU LITTLE KID. Aaaaand see y'all later! Cultural things in 'n around Avignon. 1) Avignon is the new Ann Arbor. What does that mean? Oh yeah - there's a Domi...

Sunday, September 30, 2007. 5 rue saint thomas d'aquin. You could also write:. Who lives above the old woman who lives in a shoe. Next to the palace wall. American city/state highlights include but in no way are restricted to:. San Francisco/the O.C./anywhere in California. Washington, D.C. Northern Michigan/the UP/Lansing :). Where else do you guys live? And if you're abroad, I wanna hear from you too. Saturday, September 29, 2007. Darija and I found internet in our house! Hahaha. C'est rigolo. What up,...

Thursday, February 28, 2008. So after the wild craziness of Sevilla, a daytrip to Cordoba was the thing to do. Once again: PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION from Sevilla to Cordoba. Love Love Love it. This means I've seen a lot of southern Spain which is v. pretty. Why is Cordoba cool? Well, Darija studied it like whoa back in sch. Ool and here's what I learned:. It was, at one time, the largest city in Western Europe. It's its own World Heritage Site because it's freakishly important historically, culturally,.

Kiwi, banana, raisins, fitness fruit and fiber cereal (guess who's random! I hope people throw their underroos at me. Friday, April 25, 2008.

La Vie d'Emily: C'est QUOI ca?
http://emilieausud.blogspot.com/2008/07/cest-quoi-ca.html
Saturday, July 5, 2008. It's midnight on Saturday. I'm not sure when was the last time I slept. Thursday night, I think? Why is it that, when you're just starting to wrap something up somewhere, things actually start going? Yesterday I went to a concert with a friend who was playing with his 20-piece orchestra at an outdoor concert/cookout thing. This is the part where I tell you what we ate! Sardines, mussels, and french fries, natch. Ous-titres and then sat down to a delicious meal. Whte rice, tomatoes...

Wednesday, December 12, 2007. I'm going to turn so emo. I think this is my first downer post. It's just that things aren't so hot right now. But I know they'll get better. I just have to sit with me and my brain and a cup of tea and think. And then I should knit and listen to Christmas music and think some more. I also plan on drinking copious amounts of egg nog and eating millions of Christmas cookies in the next few weeks. And listening to "Feliz Navidad" always. Makes me feel good. Number One: I just ...

Thursday, January 31, 2008. So there are good days and there are bad days here in the 'non. Like that one time when I was teaching colors of the rainbow to my littlest (ages 6 and 7) kids and I had to walk around a little girl's puddle of throw as I was saying "bluuuuuuuue" and "orrrrrrange." Not so cool. Or like that one time when I made a little girl cry when we were doing family. Or like that one time when I got sent to the principal's office during class. Um, ok, why? You need to fax it! Ffee and tea...

La Vie d'Emily: In 24 hours I'll be sittin' at the airport
http://emilieausud.blogspot.com/2008/07/in-24-hours-ill-be-sittin-at-airport.html
Monday, July 7, 2008. In 24 hours I'll be sittin' at the airport. It's my last day in France. I'm sittin' in the Brasserie de Conservatoire, chattin' it up with my cafe man. Turns out he's done three (3) three-month tours of the South of the US. Whatthebananas! Arizona. His favorite city? New Orleans. He rocks. Also he just made me the most chocolatey hot chocolate I have ever tasted. I can't even finish it (THIS, we all know, is HUGE). Hen Robyn/Brian/I said adieu from their hostel. It's been amazing...
