Patchwork Observations: November 2009
http://patchworkobservations.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Ramblings and observations upon various ideas, topics and who knows what else . . . . Wednesday, November 25, 2009. An Example of Danish Common Sense. A Danish child is put into a government institution at 6 months and is basically kept there as they grow up. Danes believe this is a good thing and think it's normal. Evidently, if you don't belong to the government institution at your school, you no longer exist at that school - even if you still go to classes every day and are enrolled in that school.

Patchwork Observations: Peace or Freedom?
http://patchworkobservations.blogspot.com/2010/05/peace-or-freedom.html
Ramblings and observations upon various ideas, topics and who knows what else . . . . Friday, May 14, 2010. In last night's episode of Supernatural (an awesome show btw), this question was posed to one of the main characters: "What would you rather have, peace or freedom? This question has been preying on my mind since. What would you choose? Sorry, a strange half nekked man with blue paint just ran through my room. But I totally agree with him (apart from his fashion choices), freedom it is. Picture Win...

Patchwork Observations: April 2010
http://patchworkobservations.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Ramblings and observations upon various ideas, topics and who knows what else . . . . Friday, April 16, 2010. We came here and slowly the bubble burst and reality set in . . . However, one feels sorry for the people of Denmark as to how much they are missing by their non-acceptance of differences. All the different ideas and cultures that could help enrich their lives and country are feared and dismissed. This attitude, more than anything else, will keep Denmark as a provincial backcountry.

Ramblings and observations upon various ideas, topics and who knows what else . . . . Friday, November 6, 2009. A study has shown that being grumpy is actually good for you. Http:/ news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8339647.stm. In short, grumpy people are better at decision-making and more realistic than the happy people. Happy people tend to not look deeply into matters and just live on the surface - the grumpy ones think about things and are better communicators. See, this is what I am talking about. An Ameri...

http://patchworkobservations.blogspot.com/2009/10/danish-lessons.html
Ramblings and observations upon various ideas, topics and who knows what else . . . . Thursday, November 5, 2009. My language background consists of 5 years of French during elementary/high school and a year each of German and French as well as a semester of Japanese during college. I loved languages and learning them, especially French. So I looked forward to starting my Danish classes and learning the language of my new home. As I was due in August, I was able to take a break from lessons and concentra...

Conservatory Girl: August 2008
http://conservatorygirl.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, 17 August 2008. I heart this site! Http:/ www.instructables.com. School's Out For Summer. I have two reasons for going down the boarding school route. One I can be completely open about, the other I generally keep closer to my chest. Life is hard for teenagers to make sense of. The other aspect of that is that I feel that often I am a dreadful mother. I’m snappy and bossy and mean and I know that I take my lovely little (big! I’m already looking forward to half term.
