Out of the BBC's "The Big Read" list from 2005, which ones did you read, plan to read or started to read, but didn't finish? The ones I read are fat, the ones I still want to read are in italics, the ones I started but didn't finish are crossed out and all the other ones I have either never heard of before or never wanted to read them.

At least when you have a German teacher letting you read a 300-page novel in a week PLUS notes on every chapter PLUS two "role biographies" (round about 5 pages each)  PLUS a map with the travelling route. After all, the book was - in itself - quite good. It's Daniel Kehlmann's "Die Vermessung der Welt" (The Measuring of the World), it deals with ( Read more... )

Apparently, what I like looks like this:

I think my journal is getting a bit one-sided, but what the frak. I'm not doing much else nowadays, so I'll just rant about my abitur some more.

Luckily, I was motivated today, even though (or maybe: because? ) I slept till 11:30... Which means, I've gotten a whole stack of vocabulary done today! *cheer* And I think I finally got the greater part of ( Read more... )

Abitur may be a good thing, in the end, but right now I'm just tired of studying. French is not that bad, "just" vocabulary and background information on the topics - "Paris" and "revolts and rebellions in France" - but social studies is killing me. It's always the same. Gentrification here, gentrification there. Booooooring! To combine the two ( Read more... )

I love the organisation of my teachers and my school in general. My abitur is near and I thought I'd better start studying now, since 4 weeks isn't really thaat much time left. But I still have one week off before exams start, so I'll manage.

Well, back to my story, I wanted to start studying. First thing: Finding out what knowledge is required. Hmm ( Read more... )

Hm, every time I've got holidays (and am at home), I'm blogging. Is there a pattern...?

Oh, I love holidays. No getting up early, no listening to boring teachers' classes... Sleeping in and reading and watching tv shows and knitting and listening to audio books and drawing and meeting with friends. If every day would be like this... it'd be pretty boring. ;) But for holidays it's just fine.

Yesterday, I went shopping with a friend of ( Read more... )

Like the title says, I really am to lazy to blog properly, e.g. about The Waters of Mars, so I'm just doing a meme stolen from thoran_ziyal .

Nachdem ich glorreiche 5 Stunden geschlafen habe, da ich aus irgendeinem Grund nicht einschlafen konnte (nein, hm... könnte nicht daran liegen, dass ich wegfliege...), holte mich meine Oma von zuhause ab, um mich zum Flughafen zu bringen. Während wir auf der Fahrt noch kurz mit meinem Opa zuhause telefonierten, um herauszufinden an welchem ( Read more... )
