Hiatus.
I'm sorry, I just don't have the time to post, as you may have noticed already.

My best friend, aka Betty, is turning 18 today! Wow, that means I've known her for 15 years now. Quite a long time in my opinion. Yesterday was spent making a surprise cake for her. Seeing she's finally allowed to drive on her own, she picked me up today and we took the cake to school. Well, after I almost ran her over as I jumped at her to give ( Read more... )

My chest feels like it’s going to explode. It doesn’t hurt; it’s just an incredibly dull feeling. At the same time breathing gets harder and harder and I break down. Just like that. I’m on my knees, crying. The tears stream down my face and I don’t even know why. My head is bent as I hold my stomach. Again, it doesn’t hurt. It’s more like the ( Read more... )

Gosh, I'm so lazy lately; not only too lazy to post, but also too lazy to do anything for school. Example: I have a geography test tomorrow and haven't studied anything yet and I highly doubt I'll study at all. It's just that I... I really don't care. This attitude is wrong, I very well know that, I just can't do anything about it. With graduation ( Read more... )

German universities were only allowed to charge tuition a few years ago. But now with fees rising, students are taking to the streets to protest.

Tuition at a U.S. public university can run more than $15,000 a year. For a private school, it's more than $25,000 ( Read more... )

Today our seniors' final marks were announced, and I know that I've said this a million times, but in exactly one year it's gonna be me. It simply is a subject that I'm dealing with quite a lot lately. On the one hand I'm excited to be done with school, on the other hand I'm anxious of what's going to happen after it. I'm going to spend thirteen ( Read more... )

OMJG! The last three days have been mind-blowing! Like, seriously. Yvonne + me on our own in a big city = fun!

Wednesday: Yvonne and I had tickets for a 'Die Toten Hosen' concert so she picked me up at around 11am. After two hours on the autobahn we arrived in Karlsruhe where we put our stuff in her cousin's apartment. That's where we spent the last ( Read more... )

Lying awake in bed yesterday night, I thought about this whole au pair thing. I thought about how long I've been wanting to go abroad now. Probably since the eight grade, this has been a dream of mine. It's been a dream I knew I'd live someday, no matter what it would take.
First I wanted to spend a High School year in America. That was in tenth ( Read more... )

Spent my weekend bored at home, that's why I didn't posted. Well, Betty wanted to go to a party with me yesterday night, but I didn't feel like it, so I stayed at home ( Read more... )

Guess what? I got the internship! It took some time to find myself around, because a lot has changed since I was went there as a child, but when the director of the kindergarten showed me around I remembered it. In contrast to what I thought of her after our conversation on the telephone, she's really nice. She didn't ask me any uncomfortable ( Read more... )
