I have to be intimidated/scared by something to love it. This is good and bad. Mostly bad. Probably not all that healthy. (Fire, boats, men, the list goes on and on.)

How is your summer? How are you?

[thineownself.livejournal.com]

Ever since I handed in the Thesis, my summer has looked very much like autumn. So instead of lying around blissfully in the sun, I'm still rather pale, but considerably more relaxed than a month ago. Yay!
So I'm fine, still putting off job hunting for a few more days, and reading Harry Potter and thinking about sewing projects (too lazy even to start them!).

How have you managed to afford to work on your thesis for so long? Did you take out a lot of loans? Scholarship? Money from parents? From what I recall, I don't remember hearing about any sort of part-time job, so I'm just wondering how you paid your bills for the last year.

Re: $$

It was a combination of money I had saved up from past jobs, and money from parents (and I'm not too proud of that). I had a few very irregular part-time jobs over the last year and failed miserably at finding something more regular and well-paid. The job situation in Berlin is pretty hopeless.
I can't wait to finally make enough money to pay my bills entirely by myself.
(And to have a bit of extra money. I've hardly ever gone out or partied or bought things that weren't strictly necessary last year for lack of money.)

(But this prolonged thesis creation was only possible because you don't have to pay anything for studying at German universities.)

I'm about to dye my hair from blonde to dark brown!

[thineownself.livejournal.com]

Oh, exciting!
I've been too traumatized after some teenage hair dying experiments gone Very Wrong to try anything drastic again.

When are you going to reply to my email?!

[thineownself.livejournal.com]

...oh.

[yfdp.livejournal.com]

So now that you've finished the thesis (congrats!) what do you plan in the short term and in the long term?

[thineownself.livejournal.com]

Short term (as in, the last weeks): re-gain sanity by not doing anything thesis-related, catch up on sleep.
Then: prepare for oral exam in October.
After that: AAAAAH! I wish I knew. I've been searching the internet for ideas / jobs / non-enslavement internships and try not to panic too much.

Hi Anke, I came in from here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/minn/266839.html?thread=5070167#t5070167) Just saw that you like languages from your profile, maybe you could check out places like http://www.core-hamburg.de/ for example. Gute erholung und viel erfolg wusch ich dir for your October exams.

I wish I could have a box of chocolate to keep at my desk and eat randomly throughout the day. I don't want a whole box per day, but I would like at least one or two pieces of really good chocolate to look forward to every day.

I don't even try to be happy anymore.
Eating cereal makes me come pretty close, though.

I often wish I loved my boyfriend as much as I loved my first love.

If you could go back in time a couple of years, would you choose a different college major? If so, what?

so i'm lucky enough to have time to take a nap in the middle of the day. i have a couple weeks off this summer so of course i want to enjoy it. i'm tired, i take my nap.

whenever i wake up, i'm always disapointed.

it makes me feel a little sad, and i'm not quite sure why

[matinee.livejournal.com]
