Okay, I’m just typing while I’m watching the ESC in a little window in the left upper corner of my really big screen. (Does it show that I love my new computer equipment?) So, right now we are watching the 11th performer, Israel and that’s really the first performance I actually like. It’s a little […]

Today I’m strangely obsessed with my hair. I think it’s because it looked so perfect today that I just can’t get over it. I am one of those ‚I have no control over my hair‘ people which isn’t usually so bad because the worst that can happen is that my hair looks boring instead of […]

I just don’t know what to make of this. When I came back from work the boyfriend met with me and we went to eat turkish fast food and did some grocery shopping afterwards. We had four items: milk, some instant pasta thing and two bottles of beer. I then had to go through the […]

My seven years of French are finally paying off. He’s gone. Gone gone gone. Not gone as in ‚met with us, gave us the money he still owes us and promised to be a better person from now on‘, more as in ‚gave the keys to the janitor and took off‘. He left us no […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

When I walked across the Roncalliplatz in Cologne today on my way to meet my mom, there was this South American flutist group (we call them ‚Anden Mafia‘ by the way, but that’s just a side note) playing ‚Sound of Silence‘. Now I’m probably one of the biggest Paul Simon worshippers of my generation. At […]
