Pre-GSCEs, I generally wore shoes to school which had something of a heel.
Post-GSCEs, in the Sixth Form, I frequently broke the rules and wore stilettos with a six inch heels to school.
Then I moved to Stuttgart, where it was winter. And snowy. And icy. Stilettos on ice are a really bad idea. So, I wore trainers, and haven't really stopped since. Now my feet (and my slightly too long trousers and jeans) are suffering, so I have started to wear proper leather footwear most of the time. I am "training" myself to wear heels again, but my God it's hard.
I have also started speaking/writing like an American. :s I know, after years and years of saying American is not English, I am morphing into one. But here hardly anyone understands my accent or my British vocabulary, plus all documents and things have to be written in American English, so it's kinda better if I am more "fluent" in American. I think everyone is getting annoyed when I say "noooooooo, it's not organiZed, it's organiSed". Haha.
Maybe I should change my blog from 'Parisian Wannabe' to 'American Wannabe'. Ha.
Until soon my lovelies,
The Wannabe American xx

Hey! Being an American isn't that bad! :) haha! I'm very surprised that Germany uses American English... that seems weird.
