I handed my essay in today. I`ve actually managed to get it done in time. =) I spent the whole Sunday reading and writing 500 words….not as much as I`ve wanted but I`ve had such a headache. Unfortunately I had to cancel the Lotr exhibition with Lina for that. *sigh* That would have been much fun…So instead of being done with it I still had to do 2/3 of it today. I dismissed all my classes, got up early and occupied a PC in the library for HOURS. *gg* Well, I succeeded. That`s all that matters. 😀 I should do that more often though. I`ve met Katrin twice and I`ve finally seen Mika again. YAY!
And I liked the topic actually. I came across this German artist who lived in NZ for 7 years, writing letters to friends back here after returning: “Though he was in New Zealand for only seven years, having left he intended to return and settle – in letters from Germany he described himself as ´New Zealand by heart` and `homesick` for New Zealand.” =D I can somehow relate to that. =P

Lina and I tried to get the insurrance for Siegfried today. We have to talk to Josefin though.
And just for Emma now….pictures!!! Continue reading

Strawberry Fare

Had a fun night out with all of you crazy guys, love the pics and videos that I took. =D

“Is it wrong that I feel like a proud mum?”
“I like how everybody is dressed up just Alex looks totally normal.”
“Dave managed to clear all the tables around us.”
“Ich bin der einzige schwule Eskimo.”
“I`m not crazy….I`m INSANE.”
“That`s strange.”-“You`re strange.”-“…you know the rest…”
“Don`t lecture me, woman!” (Did you smack him for that? *rofl*) Continue reading

me being girly *lol*

My and the birthday girl met in town today to go shopping…and yeah…I spent waaaaay too much money. I)

Emma, you`d be proud of Lina. She got me to buy something greenish and made me wear something nearly pink. O.O Well, it`s her birthday…*sigh* You`ll get a pic of the greenish top. 😉 I also bought a black top to make up for that. =P

After that I tried to go home and study before going out tonight….but somehow….I ended up…in another shop. *double sigh* I bought more black stuff. *gg* A nice summer top, a black shirt that I`m gonna wear this evening and a fancy fancy top. It even glitters a bit. Me loves it. =D Now I only need a strapless bra, a nice skirt or fancy pants, boots, a fancy belt, a boyfriend and a reason to wear it. XD Looool, but great that I have it now. I)

Yesterday was one of my “bad English” days again. From the moment I woke up everything that popped up in my head was in German…Happens when I`m tired. *grumpy* I survived uni without saying a single word and met Josefin afterwards. It got a bit better while talking to her for two hours.

After that the day just got better. XD I visited Lina and her crazy flat again and Ida totally made my day. She`s AWESOME! She started with providing Vanilla cake and ended when Lina and I were literally crying because of laughter. *HUGE hug for Ida*
Other than that I think I`m kinda hooked up to Grey`s anatomy now. 😉

Lina, Josefin and I might also buy a car. Teh awesomeness! (*gg*) How cool is that? Owning a third of a car without having a driver`s licence? *ROFL*

It`s August now…hmpf…two days till Lina`s birthday. =D I should try to learn the swedish version of “Happy birthday”. *gg* And I should start thinking seriously about my birthday…

Emma and I went to see the treaty of Waitangi yesterday. We FINALLY managed to see it….after studying it for one trimester and talking about seeing it for two months.*gg*

It was cool to see Lora again and catch up with her. She said my English got a lot better. =D After that comment I couldn`t think of one correct English sentence anymore but YEAH! I guess I just don`t notice my progress cause it still feels like a struggle to have a conversation in English.
Wellington is such a small city, one of Katrin`s flatmates is a friend of Lora. *shakes head* Since she`s only staying till the middle of november we should try to resurrect our “once a week dinner” thingy….it was fun the two times that we had it, lol. (*wink mit dem Zaunpfahl @ Lina*) Anyway seems that she`s happy. =) Fia would also like to see us again even though she`s working a lot. Life guard in a pool…LOL we should visit her. 😉

And after having hot chocolate at Starbucks with Lora, Emma and I went to Everton hall. Who the hell had the idea of having mid-winter-Christmas? Christmas in July? LOL Reminds me of the children`s book “Was macht der Weihnachtsmann im Juli?”

Seems we discovered his secret… =P
Anyway, it was fun even though I stayed 10 minutes or so. I`m gonna add silly pics when I get them…

Dunedin

I`m not sure what I`m gonna write in here when uni starts again but for now…

I finished the first trimester of uni with my last exam on June 24th and decided to head down to the South Island for holidays. For 4 days to be precisely. Anyway it was sooooo worth it. My camera battery stopped working on the second day *smash head against desk* but you`ll get an impression. On Monday I just had a look at the lovely city, on Tuesday I watched albatrosses (what`s the plural?), penguins and fur seals, on Wednesday I visited NZ`s only castle and went shopping ( -.- ) and on Thursday I visited a chocolate factory, bought lots of chocolate and went by train to the hinterland to have a look at the beautiful landscape around Dunedin. The trip was really, really awesome! And strangely enough, I thought it is colder here (10 degrees) than in Dunedin (-3/-5 degrees but sunshine).
