some news… 07.06.2009

I am doing well. I finally got some time now. All of my exams are over. I wrote the last one on Monday and now I am waiting to get the results. I can’t wait anymore. The only one I know is that I past the oral English exam very well. My teacher said I got the highest result from all the students of my school. That was a really good feeling. On Tuesday I will get the other results. I am pretty sure that I past all of them. The question is just how well.

Now, school is over for the rest of the summer I got plenty of time. I am off for the summer until September.  This is really nice after all the exams. But I am sure that I will be bored in at least two weeks. J I am trying to find a job since weeks, so I will earn some money. But it’s really hard – still.  I will visit a friend of mine who is living in the Netherlands. I am really looking forward to that, because I have never been there and also I miss the whole travelling- thing a lot!

Unfortunately our summer over here is not showing up very well. To be honest it is cold, grey sky and it has been raining for the last two weeks! This is very unusually. And it is how I remember the weather in London.

We had a huge celebration in our city this weekend. Actually there have been two at the same time. On was a big summer opening party in our city center with a lot of stages, life events, music and fun rides for kids.  The festival started on Friday and will end tonight with a big fire work.  The other celebration we had this weekend was the 600^th Year anniversary of our university. That was a huge event. We had exchanges students here from all over the world.  What I really enjoyed because I think the most of them were American exchange students.  I was sitting at Starbucks enjoying my coffee and was surrounded by a lot of English speaking people. Sounds strange but it were very nice.

My knee is not doing so well. I got the MRI report and fortunately all of my knee joint ligaments are fine. But I have a little tiny fracture on top of the tibia bone. I don’t know how to explain it in English so well. It should have been better weeks ago, but it still hurts as soon as I move around too much.  Fortunately, the basketball season is over now and I have got enough time to recover.

Apart from that, I am doing well.

Take care…

I have finally come home! 23. 01.09

 

For some of you who do not know where I am now…here is a map

 

After my christmas depression had passed I had to admit that I am actually feeling pretty well! Everything is alright and i am not that sad anymore about being away from the US. Of course I still miss it but it feels different- better. Maybe I have learnt how to deal with the situation and the feeling.

Furthermore, I am very busy, that could be another reason why I do not have the time to think about it so much. Last friday I wrote my first intermediate examination in psychology. Which went pretty well I would say. Next week I have 2 more exams. So wish me luck- I could really need it;)

Moreover, I took the day off today to get some rest that I can start studying tomorrow again. A part from that we had a very important game today, which we have lost. It is very disappointing because we could had win it…

Unfortunately I hurt my self in the game today I twisted and bended my knee in a very uncomfortable way…and I am hoping very much that it is nothing serious! I have to wait and see what the MRI will show…

Here a few pic`s from the last game we had…

Awesome (true) story!! (2008)

Montauk Monster washed up on shore of Long Island…

Almost Christmas… 18.12.08

I cannot believe that we have already December.  Were did the time go? I am “at home” now since 4 month, that it just awesome. I am scarred how fast time is passing by. We will celebrate Christmas in a few days, but I don’t feel like it at all! I wish I could split myself a part to be at two different places at the same time. On that place what I used to call home, because my friends and family are here. And on the other side I wish I could also be at the place what I call my second home now and where I have been happy for that last couple years!  But I guess that will not happened…that sucks.

I spoke wish my Family on Thanksgiving Day and it made me so happy to talk to them and for this moment I forgot everything around me. And I was just smiling and so happy. After I had finished the call I broke down so badly that I just cried for hours.

I miss my Family and friends in the US so much that it hurts every single moment I think about them. I wonder if that feeling will go away some day and so that I will be able to look back to this awesome time with joy and happiness.

I wish everybody a Merry Christmas a joyful time with a lot of excitements.  Especially surrounded by your family, Friends and all the other people you care for!
