Untitled (so far)
I just got home from school. I should have stayed home, but that’s what I usually think about school and today wasn’t that bad after all. I think I’m gonna skip the first four hours tomorrow, especially since Andreas told me that there won’t be anything about the hours we missed without excuse on the final school reports.
So I had to get up early today, but turned on the computer anyways, especially since I wanted to read about the voting results of the U.S. vote, but nothing was definite yet. It seems that it still isn’t. I expected the difference between Kerry and Bush to be very small anyway, so I’m not surprised about what I read on the internet so far. We’ll see.
The last days haven’t been that interesting though. We were invited to Howard’s birthday on Sunday and really had a nice evening and a great dinner then. I also took some pictures, but I won’t post them now. I don’t want this blog to become a photo-album, so I will only post pictures every now and then. Howard is leaving for Manchester today and will return to Australia after a week or so, but hopefully he’ll be back next year. I guess it’s all a question of money. We would love to go to Adelaide for a vacation, but although we wouldn’t need a lot of money there, we just can’t afford the flight. I definitely need to get a well-paid job once I’m done with my training, but I still hope that Pi will find a job soon.
Final exams are coming closer and I still haven’t studied a bit for them. I should though. The good thing is that I’m pretty sure that even without any studying I would at least pass them. But honestly – I’m too ambitious for that. So hopefully I will pull myself together soon and not be disappointed by the results.
I also try to take part in the NaNoWriMo, the National Novel Writing Month, this November, but I haven’t written more than 350 words so far. The goal is 50,000 and I don’t see how I will ever manage to reach that wordcount, but I want to try anyway. The idea for my story is very vague, I guess I’ll just make it up as I go along (which is basically the idea behind the project as I understood it).
So you better not read what I’ve come up with up to now since it’s just 350 words and I have no idea where it is going or whether it will be any good. If you can’t help it, it’s my other blog. If you have any ideas, I’m open to that, just don’t be too critical… remember – it’s just for fun!
Current mood: Kind of tired but happy that school was over at 11 am today. Literally saved by the bell.
Listening to: Drum loops Pi is working on in his room.
