The week after

The first week after exams was just great - parties, cocktails and just spending time with friends and family of course. The others were in the same good mood as I was and therefore we enjoyed every single minute.

I visited my brother in Stuttgart and helped with their new house again. It was good to spend a few days away from Bamberg - away from books, computers and everything related to exams.

But now christmas is very close and the christmas market in Bamberg opened last Friday - so hello to mulled wine, christmas cookies, advent calendars and the good pre-christmas activities. I made an Advent wreath for my brother and sister-in-law and also decorated my room here in Bamberg. Unfortunately there is still something missing - the cold! Not that I am very fond of freezing, but 20°C at the end of November is definitely too much. A mulled wine only tastes really good when you have temperatures below zero. Okay, those at the other side of the world might enjoy christmas at the beach, but I need SNOW!

The storm is over - and I can see the sunshine

Well, the last 4 weeks have been hell - full of exams, but now it's over, at least for another year or so.

This is the first "free" afternoon in 7 months and I start to enjoy it. What am I supposed to do with all this spare time - hm - let's think about it:

1. I go for a cocktail with some of my friends - I will definitely do that!
2. I will have a party with a lot of food with the people who were in my study group - Oh, we will have that on Wednesday!
3. I start to think about christmas presents - that will be fun!
4. I can work on my thesis - yeah well, I guess I have to do that, so there is still not enough free time to do whatever I want!
5. I can visit my brother and sister-in-law in Stuttgart - next weekend, here I come!
6. I do not have to worry about books that need to be read - right, there are some for my thesis, but they are more enjoyable!
7. I can watch TV whenever I want - Yippie!
8. I can plan my trip to Namibia - I got a positive reply only this morning!
   

You see, I find some things to do and I also promised a friend of mine to visit him in Würzburg and I am looking forward to it! Life is great, especially when there is nothing serious to worry about!
