Sorry if I have kept you waiting concerning my performance in the Great North Run. I still have traces of the cold left and so I had on Sunday. I managed to get in on 2h 1min 37s. Which means that I am very pleased with myself and that I am already looking forward to next year's run.
Today I have had my first class in French. I never thought that I would volunteer to learn the basics of French. I am usually not the shy person and I always give English words a go even though I might not be 100 % sure how you are supposed to pronounce them. But French seems to be very tricky.
I really need to practise a lot on my own to get a good start. Because I know that if I do not get a good start then I will loose confidence and fall behind. This afternoon I actually got quite upset with myself as I doubted my ability. This is where the stubbornness comes in as I am, in fact, not a very linguistic person. Just determined. Or as a Swedish saying puts it:
'If you aim for the stars, you will end up in the trees.'
I am aiming for the stars.
