The frozen wonders of Switzerland (they aren't ALL frozen)

These days my life consists of a handful of things.
Working. I got quite a few hours this week, which is super awesome!

Doing stupid things, like signing the wrong papers

Cleaning my room (for the BILLIONTH) time to a grade of alien-like perfection. To heroic, epic music.

School. I finished Anatomy yesterday! woohoo! Now I only have math and music left. Oh, and this. Because, I count blogging as school.

Dance.

Sleep.

Yesterday, when I came home from work, I changed into my PJ's, and got into bed. I realized that I should go take my allergy medicine. And I wanted cold oatmeal the next morning for breakfast. (It's SO good. Don't let the words "cold" and "oatmeal" dissuade you!) So I should probably get that going. And then I though about using the bathroom before I go to bed. But I didn't. I was so dead exhausted, that I just fell asleep, and didn't move until the next morning. Being exhausted, and having something to do with that exhaustion is really nice.



So, I just randomly felt like writing about Switzerland. And then I found these GORGEOUS pictures. I think I wanna go there someday. Chocolate, watches, and Heidi. Plus gorgeous mountains, and scenery. What's not to like?
     These first 3 pictures are just of the stunning scenery in Switzerland.




This is a frozen river. Holding 27 billions tons of ice, it winds through the alps for over  14 miles.
Switzerland
Capitol: Bern
Known for:
Skiing
and Clocks

And, all their Men are required to serve in the army.























The Lauterbrunnen Valley.  A gorgeous valley cut right in the heart of the alps.
It has 72 waterfalls, and is surround by hundreds of startlingly beautiful peaks. 










The Matterhorn. Yes, this is more than just a ride at Disney.  Piercing the sky at 14,692 feet,  the Matterhorn is recognizable by it's triangular shape, and it's lack of surrounding mountains, making it stick up tall and strong on the horizon.

Well, that's just a few pictures of some of the beautiful scenery from Switzerland.

Have a great day ya'all!

  1. Wow. Switzerland is really beautiful. I always think of Sound of Music, personally...they did film that in Switzerland, didn't they?

    Question: how did you sign the wrong paper?

    Love you,

  2. I think they filmed that in Austria. But, you know . . . not much of a difference ;) Just kidding!

    Well, there was a paper that said "Read and sign this paper" and a bunch of other stuff. So I signed the paper, not the one UNDER it I was supposed to sign. Ah well! I worked it all out :)

  3. Nice new blog format! And great idea about including blogging in school... I'll have to remember that for homeschool someday.

  4. Sitting here reading your blog while I'm very tired after a long week as made me realize how delicious it would be to crawl into bed RIGHT NOW!! I totally agree with you that sleep is a wonderful blessing ;-)

  5. Can I put it in a request about your next blog post? Something about the Eiffel Tower. I would like to know more about it.
