started uni and already feel exhausted and tired from the workload, I'm so not used to learning again *argh*

Have fun in real life for me ;)

*lurks around for familiar faces*

HI, decided to drop by and say hello.

Actually decided to say good bye to fandom, as I stopped checking my account regularly and haven't read any fanfiction for a long time, but kind of decided against it, as I went over some of my favourites the last two days and got hooked on Remus and Tonks again (thanks to "The Dare") , reminds me of a great time I had here in fandom and how it helped me in many ways. :D

So I hope I will be able to stop by more often and read some of the fanfics, which have been written in my absence...

YAY - FINALLY HOME AGAIN!!!!

Oh my God, can't believe, how good this feels, how much I missed all this, my car, my room, my own bathroom, my parents and everything!!!

Oh and this is supposed to be day 8 of the happiness meme :D

Day five, six and seven of that happiness meme, actually not much happened these last days, but things that made me happy today were:

- starting to work at reception and answering phone calls
- the last day in belfast this year

so, I am already counting the hours, just 11,5h left till my taxi comes to pick me up to the airport, sooo excited and look forward to meeting all friends and family again. 2 weeks of fun, socialising and good food ahead of me. *sigh*

Oh, why do I have to come back to Belfast?

apparently those two have nothing in common, still I managed to confuse both, while sitting at the doctor, as my cold is not planning on going away.
The doc gave me something for decongestion and I was like "Huh?! What does my cold have to do with decongestion ?" In the end it was me, who confused decongestion with digestion...silly me.

Forgot to post yesterday, so day three and four:

- having a lovely christmasy dvd evening, watching "The Holiday"

and today:

- christmas dinner with friends in the church (I kind of go to church now...dunno why, feels good)

- I happen to like christmas this year very much...

- the christmas dinner with friends later on

- packing my suitcase for home

- just 6 days left!

what makes an ill person happy?

a warm bed, a huge mug of tea and getting all my christmas shopping done

*off to sleep*

to gilpin25, who in all these two years I've been involed in fandom, always had a nice word to say and has been so supportive and helpful. Thank you dear and I wish you all the best for the coming year!</lj>

I finally have internet acces at home!!!

Thank virgin media!!!

*does happy dance*

I HATE TECHNOLOGY WHEN IT DOESN'T MAKE WHAT I WANT!

I've got a virus on my computer and everything is lost, or destroyed, I was totally shocked that it happened, as I always update my computer and there has never been anything before...
Anyway, after many tears and shock, my sister will get someone to repair it, hopefully, when I am away.
I really have no luck at all atm, currently surfing with my laptop, but its missing microsoft word, powerpoint etc, which would have been quite helpful especially for uni. Anyone know some open source programms to install?

Oh why do I have to return from holiday to find my icq messagign service doesn't work anymore unless I install the new version?
That is pure blackmailing! How shall I keep contact with all my friends if this fucking programme have to impose the newer and "better" version on me? I tried to delay installing the new version for as long as I could :( But now, even the new version doesn't really work *frowns*

In other news, I just returned from a one week holiday at the north sea in holland, was quite refreshing and lovely to have more time to sleep and do whatever I felt like, and not to see ill people or taking care of them, though I instantly got a cold, kind of punishment *shakes head*
I also got to read a couple of books, but unfortunately not "Jonathan Strange and Mr Norell", am a bit slow with this novel, even though I read it for 3 months now, compared to another famous 1000pages book, rather lame?

Wish you all the best for the coming year! *hugs*

A HAPPY BIRTHDAY to jncar!

A great R/T fanfiction author and cook/baker!

Wish you all the best *hugs*

Tomorrow is my written exam in English and I think it should be said that without the help of you all, yes every one of you, and the loads of fanfic I read I would have never improved my English that much.
It was one of the most pleasurable, entertaining and interesting ways to learn, a way to increase my understanding as well as providing me with diverse vocabulary, though some of the words and expressions should not be used in any test *coug swear-words cough*

I just wanted to tell you that fanfic has many advadtages and merits and I thank all of you for providing that aid. :)

I just stumbled across a recipe that says: " 1/2 c. sugar", does anyone know what the "c." stands for and how much sugar I actually have to add? It's a brit./american recipe, and I usually understand them, but this time, dunno...
Thx!

I'm back and the interview in general was pretty good, but so were all the other applicants, who were by the way friendly and funny (haven't laughed that much for a long time). Thus, I don't know how my chances are of being accepted into the programme, since the others have a similar qualification like me, just have to weit until april for the results.

I was so worried about it yesterday, since I arrived to late in Bonn (blame the thunderstorm and the late trains), but they were super friendly and welcoming that I didn't feel nervous anymore.
At first they presented the programme and the different host projects, we could participate in, couldn't decide firstly what to to chose, as they were all great and interesting projects. Interview itself was in english and I just talked without thinking properly about grammar or repetitions, tend to talk very fast when I'm nervous, and I could/should have said more with regards to some issues but of course I didn't think of them, nervous as I was *shakes head*

Oh the programmes of the British Red Cross are just gorgeous and I want to work with them so badly, from what I heard of the ex volunteers, they had pretty much time to travel through the UK and visit different projects. *sigh*

So, I'm off to work, the money has to come from somewhere...

till my job interview and I sooo hope it'll work out, or otherwise I'll drown in my motivation letters and CV's I have to write. I can't even speak out the word "application" anymore, considering how many I've written.
Currently gaining some information about the red cross to be better prepared, at least, even if the interview goes badly, I still have shopping in cologne left to indulge myself *sigh*

Somehow the idea of sleeping and not doing anything sounds rather appealing...

Urgh, I hate writing application letters or letters of motivation. I've written so many of them the past 3 months, one could think that the more I write the easier it gets, but unfortunately it's the opposite.
And now, in order to improve the probability of being accepted into the programme, I have yet to write another one.
The project they suggestes sounds really great, it's in Dublin, Ireland where I could work with homeless, etc.
So instead of writing, I'm just trying to find another way of avoiding the unavoidable...
Can't they just use occlumency to see my motivation?

YAY! I've been invited for an interview for the EVS, I applied for 3 months ago!
But the bad side of it is that it's on the other side of Germany and I have to travel by train about 6-7 hours and have to catch the train on 3am in the morning!!! Omg, how the hell can I prevent myself from falling asleep? Imagine me on an interview, when I spent most of the night in a train! Shit.
The ticket wasn't cheap either, 108€, as much as I paid for a trip to London and that's more far away than Apolda (a tiny town in the east, where I've never been before and they say it's dangerous). Am a bit miffed and frustrated now, being accepted into the programme would be the only silver lining that makes me go there *sigh*
