I’m now officially not a trainee anymore. Today I had my orals and now I’m done. Done. As in… done basically. I’m really tired and exhausted. For one thing we ran around with two laptops, two folders, one poster-size sheet of paper for Andreas and a beamer and I dragged us all the way to […]

Did I just write ‚relatively urgent‘ in a text-message to the boyfriend? That’s like that one stylistic device whose name I never remember. But that’s just me, the uncrowned queen of relativization. Yes, I want to talk to you. I really want to talk you. I have something important to tell you. Also I have […]

Every time I try to do what is widely known as shopping, it is a complete desaster. I seem unable to shop. I seem unable to enjoy shopping. Obviously I lack some girly feature which makes shopping enjoyable. I had two goals today. Buy books and buy clothes. I was hopeful enough to think that […]

I just wrote a post about an article I read online. It was about the fact that in Germany a lot of well-educated people don’t have children. I wrote my opinion about it, but then decided against publishing it and saved it as a draft for the time being. Why won’t I publish this post? […]

Oh, how I love him. He doesn’t vacuum, he takes the vacuum cleaner for a walk. He also talks to his vacuum cleaner, which I picked up and now I do it, too. ‚Good boy, good boy. Yes, we’re going for a walk now. There’s plenty for you to eat in the living room, ‚cause, […]

I just came back to work after a very unsatisfying trip downtown to get some clothes. I thought it was going to be easy. I was wrong. See, living in an underprivileged country like Germany means certain limitations on shopping freedom. Like laws for closing times. And laws for sales. They kind of lowered the […]

I went to bed with a headache, I woke up with a headache even worse. I decided to call in sick but then remembered I still had some documents at work which I needed to get that application done for that job I found yesterday on the internet that I MUST get. So I went […]

What do you want to know? Like, how he didn’t show up today when he was supposed to meet us at the apartment? Like, how we found out that his former landlord still gets 3,500 Euro from him, because he didn’t pay his rent for 6 months back then? Like, how he apparently lies to […]

I finished ‚Our Lady of the Forest‘ by David Guterson this morning on the train. I thought it was a really strange book and I have to admit that there were times when I had trouble relating to anyone of the main characters. Also, as I have mentioned before, Guterson doesn’t really seem to like […]

I’ve mentioned it before and now I’m gonna go for it. 2004 has been a crappy year. Not necessarily for me, but for the boyfriend and that affects me a lot. But we tried our best and since that obviously did not help I don’t see the point of making New Year’s Resolutions other than […]
