i have one similar, anytime i get my hands wet, i have to rub my thumbs against all my fingers like i'm feeling something, even though i'm just grinding the water molecules between my thumb/fingers. no idea why but i do it EVERYTIME i get water on my hands. (unless it's piss pouring rain out, then fuck that.)Realitycrash said:
I took it up to eleven, past years i focused more on english and my dutch grammar is failing.Greyah said:
Here's a tip: Angle the shower-head so that the water doesn't directly touch your face, because it gets annoying.NightowlM said:How have I never thought of this? Thank you for giving me this idea. I think it could be really soothing with the warm water and the dark letting you imagine that you're somewhere far away like that. I definitely have to try this.Realitycrash said:
Frankly I'm a bit worried that students who study English in an internationally minded such a Germany speak German at the university. I'd expect those students to speak English at any opportunity.N3squ1ck said:
I often start talking in English. You're brain got so used to English it takes hardly any effort to switch. 
It's called sleep paralysis, it happens when there's a kind of glitch in the sleep cycle. Basically your body still thinks its asleep but the brain is almost awake. The theory goes that the brain dampens down your motor responses to stop you thrashing around too much while you dreams, sometimes the dream will end and you start to wake up but your only semi concious so the subconscious brain is still suppressing your motor responses which manifests it's self as a feeling of paralysis. Many people also experience intense fear or unease along with a feeling of a presence in the room with them or a feeling like someone is sitting on your chest, they may also see a shadowy figure seeming to hover over them or somewhere in the room too. The best way to deal with it when it happens is to force your self to calm down and not to panic. It will ware off as soon as you wake up properly.Nouw said:
Oh actually I study English aswell as German literature, all my English-related classes are on English, but all the other ones are obviously on German, I maybe should have mentioned that in the OPrutger5000 said:Frankly I'm a bit worried that students who study English in an internationally minded such a Germany speak German at the university.

As for being better at expressing yourself on certain fields in a language not originally your own. To me that's the most normal thing in the world. I was born an raised in the Netherlands, and still live here today. But my dreams are often in English, so are all my study related thoughts, and when I'm drunk or something else
Also I know this is the internet, and I know my English is far from perfect, but for an English student I think you're being a bit sloppy.
I'm from Yorkshire, a county in England where we have a quite different dialect from the rest of the English speaking word. I moved to the US five years ago, and my accent and a lot of my dialect has adapted, except for the word "something". Where I come from, we substitute the word "something" for the bastardisation "summert" (also spelled sumat, pronounced some-at).N3squ1ck said:
