Good News!

Good news, I found a spot in the house with an unprotected wireless connection. Finally!! It worked the first night but never thereafter.
Anyways, I’m having a goog time here in Charlotte. The house is nice and my roomie is nice, too. I got myself an internship *wooohoooooo* (but only 6 vacation days a year!!! >:-( never heard of anything that low before….) so now the next hurdle is to get another J1 visa. Keep your fingers crossed! 🙂
Other than that, I’ve been having fun every day so far with meeting new people and old friends and drinking lots of American beer and sweet tea. So this weekend I’m gonna take it easy – everybody is out of town anyways – so yeah might be a bit boring but the other option would have been to go to Charleston with my roomie and her boyfriend and I didn’t wanna disturb the little time they have together here nor can I hang out at the beach all day like they plan to (hello northern European skin) and I’ve seen Charleston and wasn’t quite sure about the money and didn’t wanna hang out with the other guy that is driving down with them as he was hitting on me last weekend and he’s totally not my type. So there, I’ll have a good, relaxing weekend here and I think I’ll get some sushi from Harris Teeter now and eat. Yum! 🙂

Busy Weekend Recap

Seems like it’s constantly raining here – yuk! My cold isn’t getting any better either with this shitty weather. Ah well, I’ll be in the city of 30°C next week so it might be nice to be used to cold AC like temperatures. 😉
Had a busy weekend. Saturday we had the TV team here and shoot a little clip about the genetically modified corn field near us. A farmer friend said a few things and my step-dad, too and it was nice to see my old roommate who was the journalist for this little production. I might be in it, too depending on how they cut. Go see it on NDR next Monday 8/6 at 20:15 in Markt.
Right after that we celebrated my step-dad’s birthday with good food and lots of family friends until 2am.
Sunday my dad gave me a lift to Hamburg and we had wanted to see the HSV soccer match but surprisingly that was sold out. Hmmm. Well, I then went over to my friend’s place but I did feel bad for my dad who had only driven up because of that. Oh well. I met Anke at R-Eis, a milkrice bar. Super cool and man I should have taken a photo of the interior design I absolutely loved it! Had some pear-cinnamon rice and a latte macchiato for 3,50€. Gotta love student eateries. We then trooped back home after dropping of her sister at the train station. Bloody rain. But a cup of tea and rattatouille warmed us back up and we enjoyed some TV and chatted.
Monday I went for my interview, which was alright but kind of weird “Well you have all the qualifications (lists everything), what do you want here?” and “We don’t really have a strategy here” and well it was all kind of weird. Don’t think it’s my cup of tea. Afterwards I got some cake and a croissant at my favorite bakery and we hung out some more and then I took the train back home. Of course I got in with a 20 minutes delay but I still made it to the dentist before they closed and she said my tooth is fine, it’s just a crack with a discoloration. I love my dentist. She calls me with my first name and always asks what I’m doing now and my sisters and my mom and blabla. We’ve been going there for more than 10 years now and you know how villages are. Anyways, I’m glad it’s not caries. Yay! 🙂
Oh and about the cortisol, it’s actually not that bad when you inhale it. My doc talked about that with me, too. The pills are a real bitch but I only inhale a thousanths of the dosis and the biggest side-effect is some mouth fungus from the transporation particles and not even the corticol itself if you don’t rinse your mouth afterwards. Well I brush my teeth right after inhaling it so that should do the trick.
Alrighty, hope you’re all doing well! Smoochies!


What Your Soul Really Looks Like


You are quite expressive and thoughtful. You see the world in a way that others are blind to.

You are a grounded person, but you also leave room for imagination and dreams. You feet may be on the ground, but you’re head is in the clouds.

You believe that people see you as larger than life and important. While this is true, they also think you’re a bit full of yourself.

Your near future is a lot like the present, and as far as you’re concerned, that’s a very good thing.

For you, love is all about caring and comfort. You couldn’t fall in love with someone you didn’t trust.


You Have Many Alpha Tendencies


You’re not a total alpha female, but you certainly know how to – and like to – get your way.
You’re forceful without being intimidating. You’re confident without being vain. A perfect mix.


Your Famous Last Words Will Be:


“Nice doggy.”


You Are A Fig Tree


You are very independent and strong minded.
A hard worker when you want to be, you play hard too.
You are honest and loyal. You hate contradiction or arguments.
You love life, and you live for your friends, children, and animals.
A great sense of humor, artistic talent, and intelligence are all gifts you possess.

Friday Recap

Good morning peeps!
I crawled out of bed way too early today because I have to go shopping for my mom but now she said I’d have to wait until 11 so I might as well check out the web. Had a good day yesterday. A little trip to IKEA with my sister – because we both move out of home and just don’t need anything soon lol. Well I got some candles, you know the tripple pack that smells like fudge, caramel, and vanilla swirls, but of course they fell out of the car when I opened the door at home and broke. Ah yeah, shouldn’t have gotten them in the first place ;-).
Also got an email invitation by Procter & Gamble inviting me to some logic test so that means I passed their psycho test and their resume screening. Wow! Egoboost!
Last night I went out with Jenny and Susanne and we had cocktails (sin alcohol naturalmente) and then went to that crappy club in town. But we danced and we had a great time watching these weird people there. Wah! Really scary what runs around these days. Also makes you feel so old when you’re between all these 18(max) year olds.
Well, I’m a bit worried about my thesis. I want to hand it in Monday in a week but I still need to get the prrofreading back and of course I don’t want to rush my friend because she’s doing me a huge favor to begin with but I’m getting really antsy about hoping to get it back after this weekend. I think printing and binding still takes a bit of time, too, not to mention about correcting all the poop I wrote… Yikes!
Anyways, toodles my dears hope you’re all having a great weekend! :-*
