A memoir

According to Marriam-Webster dictionary's definition, "memoir" is a narrative based on personal experience. I wonder if i should do a memoir based on my teaching of 5 L this year??? Or a memoir of my time in Bonn?

Balloon Surprise

I remember my feelings and emotions when I walked down the aisle. The doors to the ballroom opened and for a moment, my eyes and senses were overwhelmed with lights and sounds. There were the guests clapping and spotlights shinning. I put on a smile and walked in, trying to catch glimpses of my friends whom I have not seen for a long long time. Then something else caught my eyes. I did not remember seeing red balloons along the aisle and on the stage for decorations. My brain started ransacking itself for clues as to what was happening. Then it occurred to me that this was a surprise. I had earlier wanted to add in balloons for the decoration but gave up the idea as he thought that the ballroom would be too cluttered. That was probably the thing which set my mood straight for the evening.

Allein

Jetzt bin ich allein zu Hause. Mein Mann ist in Vietnam auf Dienstreise. Ich bin krank, deshalb bin ich heute zu Hause geblieben. Ich hatte Pause gemacht. Ich habe auch ein bisschen ueber meinen Leben nachgedacht. Ich arbeite viel. Wenn ich kein Arbeit mache, finde ich es langweilig. Dann suche ich etwas neues zu lesen oder lernen. Das ist mein Leben.

Ich mag meinen Leben sehr. Ich habe die Freiheit viel zu erleben und lernen. Nicht so viel Veranwortlichkeit wie Eltern mit Kindern.

Ich kann viel reisen und sehen.
