| Home alone |

Being alone in the house definitely has its advantages, but every time I notice how much work it is, to do everything by yourself when the're gone; our veggie garden had to be maintained, watering the plants, driving around for my grandparents, washing the car...
Monday was the famous Lost Marathon at my house and I managed to convert my friends into being Sawyer and Boone fans:P. Unfortunately my dvd player broke down in the middle of the afternoon and we had to move the party to my friends' house somewhere in the middle of nowhere*grin*. Had to drive a friend to the train station at 10pm and we were both freaking out whether it was the 'big bend' already or to just drive right ahead. I chose the big bend and was right, luckily, cos it was mighty dark in the woods and I was scared to death hoping I wouldn't meet a trespasser;). I was glad when I reached the main road:D
Tuesday 2 friends of my high school came in the afternoon to just catch up. One of them is graduated this year and she is applying for a job, garden architect. The other one is studying law and still has 3 years to go. It was nice, but I felt uncomfortable with silences so I tried to lead the conversations so there was always something to say. I hadn't seen them much over the past 3 years since we left high school graduation. And much has happened that they don't know off. They are a part of my past, but I'm not sure if they will ever be that close again as they were back then.
Yesterday was not very fun. My grandmother let me drive around the whole morning to find some cold dish to eat since the heatwave is still very present over here. I didn't find anything and she got annoyed with me. Somehow she thinks I can fly in 15 minutes in traffic from the middle of the city till my home in the 'country-side'. She then had made reservations in a restaurant and I told her on my cell I would be there around noon, but around doesn't mean exaclty 12 o'clock. And she was annoyed again when I arrived there at 15 past noon. That made me pissed too, even though I shouldn't since they are pushing 80 and are feeling under the weather but sometimes you just can't help yourself;). I didn't get better at the restaurant. First, she felt a draft and took another place. Then, there was too much sun on her left arm. Later, her fish was fried too much. After that, my grandfather got angry at her and told her to shut up. Joy. The only thing that made my day after I came back, was when I went to the mail and found the newspaper page that Tina sent me. Thanks girl!! I appreciate it very much. Tell me if I ever can do something in return for you!
Today I took it easy, it was the first day I could actually sleep late, cos yesterday I had to get up early to take the trash outside. I washed my car this afternoon and thunderstorms are to be expected this evening and tomorrow finally a bit of coolness heading our way. Tomorrow evening my parents are coming home again...end of the good life... |

Thanks for the support guys, it really means a lot to me...and thank you Freesy for going with me yesterday, even though I probably wasn't much valuable company at moments, but nobody likes to go to those feedback sessions alone...
I'm a bit more positive today. I went to my prof of General Linguistic Science and last time I saw him was horrible. This time he was a lot friendlier, could be cos I was trying to sound calm while last time I was very agitated. We had a rational conversation about the changing of credits from 3 to 5 and how we were going to solve it. He didn't know about the change either, and felt sorry for me, and said that I didn't have to study more material for the retake, just the old stuff, but for 5 credits like the administration says. He gave me some tips to study better, cos I honestly told him that I didn't know what exactly he expected from me. We looked at some example questions and let's hope that this time I finally can get rid of this stupid course!
My thesis promotor said that I had to try to talk more active german instead of only reading*passive* german texts, so I might take you up on that offer Helly/Tina. It will be weird though, I feel more secure with my English...
He also told me they only gave me a 10 for my Hausarbeit, cos there were uncertainties about the "plagiarism" issue, even though I carefully stated my sources at the end of the page. I really need to work on the quoting or paraphrasing thing for my thesis also, cos Hausarbeit is still something totally different than the actual scientific thesis. |

| Too hot |

Went to the beach yesterday and probably today as well, cos I felt horrible yesterday. I supposed to meet my promotor in the afternoon but I canceled it. The heat is making me feel nauseous, almost didn't sleep at night. I only felt better at the beach where it was 5° colder than where I live.
All my support goes to Tina, who has to study in this weather*1000 big hugs*
I really hope it cools down when I go to Berlin next week, at least on Sunday evening on that damn night train:S |

| Beach time |
[Jun. 29th, 2006|10:00 pm] |
Today was a wonderful day, had so much luck:). I went on my annual beach trip with my mom and youngest uncle G, the weather was fabulous and...I found this dvd I've been searching for years ('The Big Easy'), but since it's so old, I couldn't find it anywhere, I couldn't even rent it at the video stores. I once saw it years back and I loved it, but it was already old then, so;). And a big plus, it only cost 5 euros. Then a few minutes later, I see another dvd that I wanted to have for a long time, called "House of Mirth" with Gillian Anderson, one of my fav actresses. Wonderful movie, top acting.
And then there's my fetish with flared pants;). Lately, fashion has turned against me and is selling this totally icky clothes, like straight legged pants and bermuda shorts, makes me shiver;). When I went to one of the local stores, they had this gorgeous black flared pants, but not in my size, but they called other stores and they still have one in my size in my college city, so guess where I'm going to be tomorrow:P. I'm laying them in stock;). |

arggh, I'm really annoyed! this time I'm the one experiencing board problems and I can't even type in the mod office that I'm having board problems, I can't type anything:(.
Summer is finally showing its face, but of course at the wrong time...don't even think that yellow ball has any sympathy for poor students;) |

| NCIS DVD |
[May. 30th, 2006|12:12 am] |
| [ | mood |
| | tired | ] |
yay, I just read on the Dutch forum that the first season of NCIS will be available over here on the 20th of july! Maybe we can do a NCIS marathon as well Freesy:P
and on top of that, they started Yankee White again on Sunday. I watched the whole time with a smile glued to my face, that really is my fav eppy and the strongest pilot I've ever seen.
was a bit annoyed earlier on when I read what ppl wrote about the reruns. Some said that Ziva was more attractive and more intersting than Kate, an other said that they thought that DPB killed off Kate cos they thought the show had more potential with somebody like Ziva (luckily a member who knew why SA left set things straight, otherwise I might have done it myself:D). With other shows I dread reruns, but the first 2 seasons of NCIS will always be better than the next for me. With the finale of season 2 they lost a part of the show that they haven't been able to restore (yet). But I understand that for ppl who just started to watch going from season 3 that they like those better. I'm still gonna watch the rest of season 3 and what follows, only with less enthousiasm than before...I would miss my Tony too much:P
I'm already tired of my studying...I hate the weather, it's only going to be 11° tomorrow: wind, rain and cold. Feels more like fall season. Actually the weather is reflecting my feelings while in fact it should be motivating me to study;). At least I can look forward to next Sunday, when my godson is doing his First Communion: my first time back in church since..let's see 3 years:D? |

Happy Easter guys!!
thanks for your card Ally!! As I remember, today is our 6 year friendship anniversary;) 16 april 2000, my first online friend and here we are 6 years later. What has become to the doctor and criminologist;)we always said we would be...
working hard on that german presentation I have to give on Tuesday, I was sick yesterday when I was planning to finish it, so there is still lots of stuff to do. Make a class scheme, slides...I'll be glad when it's over, I hate giving presentations;)
I have the feeling that I worked enough this holiday, but still not enough to have a comfortable coming month. Still need to read 2 books, give another german presentation and write 20 pages for my thesis. And in addition to that underline my culture philosophy and comparing literature science further. God help me;) |
