So much for updating in English once a week... It's difficult to update at all at the moment >_< Two more weeks to go until my intermediate exam. Argh! It's just so much, I really don't know if I can take it. I spend to many hours a day studying, and it just doesn't seem to get less. I hope I can manage a lot on wednesday and thursday, because I don't have to attend so many classes. The weekend will be busy again... on friday I have to go tutoring, on saturday one of my cousins marries, and this will probably take the whole day (and night... maybe someone can pick me up earlier, it's not that far away), and on sunday I have to work from 2pm until 10 pm -_____- I also have to study for the exam in my translation course and the Japanese exam... *sigh* I can't tell how much I look forward to July, 14th, because then I can finally breathe again. Whenever I turn around, I stumble across some study papers, phonology, grammar, literature, linguistics... it drives me mad >_<
Anyway, I still try to go out sometimes and relax a little (otherwise I would become completely insane...). On Saturday I went to the movies to see "A lot like love" with Ashton Kutcher and Amanda Peet. It's a really cute and funny movie and I liked it a lot. It's great to see Ashton Kutcher finally acting again... I think he's a good actor. After the movie we intended to sit down at the riverside and drink some wine and talk. Well, it was raining... But we found a nice place at the riverside anyway - just under a tree ^_^ Since it wasn't raining very hard, we hardly got wet (it was really warm anyway) and so we enjoyed our wine there and talked a lot ^^ It was really funny. I only drank one glass of wine (well, to be precise, it was a bottle, but only 0.25!) and I was feeling giggly *g*
So basically I try to survive the next two and a half weeks, and then hopefully things will get better. I didn't even really get around to make plans for the time after the exams yet, because I fear this might distract me too much ^^°
It's kind of a pity that this year my birthday is absolutely embedded in the exams, but I can't help it. Probably I won't do anything special that day, we'll see.

Do U Wear Underwear With Singlet
Keeping an English Journal from now on
Hey there! So, I decided to keep a Journal in both German and English. I originally intended to keep the English Journal at zorpia.com, where I also keep my online photo album, but they don't allow not-members to write comments, and that sucks. So I decided to integrate the English Journal into my already existing German Journal at livejournal. I hope my German friends won't get too confused ^^° It might well be that some of my English entries will seem strangely familiar, because I might have written of these happenings in German already... But I still think this is the best way for now. I'll try to update in English at least once a week, let's see if it works out. Right now I'm pretty busy mostly with preparing for the intermediate exam in July, and I don't have so much time to write emails and letters :( I hope this way some of my english-speaking penpals can keep track of my life as well =)
Today I didn't do much, and I really enjoyed this. Usually I have to work on sundays, but today I had a nice quiet day at home. I did some ironing and hoovering, prepared some texts for university, made a lovely photo album of my trip to London (it will be printed as a photo book, its almost finished, that was a lot of work...), and read "Heart of Darkness". I already had to read this book for a seminar in the first semester, but I didn't quite like it then. I thought it was horrible to read and it took me ages. Now I read it again in German, and I couldn't stop, it's so exciting and a pleasure to read ^^° I guess there is still a huge language barrier... :( That's a pity, really. My English greatly improved since I entered university, but still there is so much more to learn - And I study English for more than 10 years now! My hope to read a Japanese book leisurely one day is decreasing ^^° Anyway, now I will do my Japanese homework (I hardly have time for that lately, and I note that I get worse :( But since I have a tandem partner now and visit the "Stammtisch" regularly, I also notice I get better in some ways. Phew!) and then maybe watch "Van Hellsing". My brother bought the DVD lately, and since I only half watched the movie on my flight from Japan to Germany last summer, I'm really curious about the whole movie ^ _ ^

Gay Cruise Spots In Michigan
shoki @ 2005-06-11T23:43:00
So, I'm waiting just that my food will beep * huuuuunger *
this weekend Saturday and Sunday I'm free, that is a dream! Last night I got a bit of reading and chatting, photos sorted and I just relaxed, this morning I was rumzushoppen aimlessly in the city for a bit, then I have my blonde highlights done a bit of watching television, again cooked well, and for the Uni I've already done a lot * _ * To 7:30 am I met up with a few Japanese studies and Japanese, and we are at a wine festival gone. It was soo funny! I had not thought of. It has played a live band, the popular mood, it was still quite full, and we stood near the stage and have a lot of talk, laugh and dance. And made very very funny photos! Unfortunately, I had forgotten my camera, but Aki and Aki (^ ^) had a while (in Japanese you can just always leave * g *), and I want to send pictures soon =) This evening I will never forget certainly not as fast . Recently, it is in the pub, always so funny ... Before, I'm rarely out, because the conversation often slow, and this was very tiring, but now I am easy with the right people together and laugh every time I break * _ * I am looking forward immensely to every Monday and can not wait for it at all ... Pretty wicked if I remember that I previously pressed so often ...
But I really need right now. On the one hand my life is so stressful than ever, with all jobs, preparing for the interim and the seminars, but on the other hand, I also so much fun as ever - in all areas of life. Even though I'm sometimes just totally exhausted, I am very happy at the moment. It can not hurt me to realize that every now and then so I did not forget =) Since coming
