I shouldn't be writing here right now, instead...

I should be studying. Ukay so right now it all should be about my final 2 exams. But meanwhile I'm also searching for a new place, because my roomie wants to move out soon. She's about too graduate next semester and won't really need to stay much longer. Seriously she just got 2 classes!!
I'll be fully booked next semester. So I'm trying to get things straight as soon as possible. So I'm busy finding a new flat with a new roomie and being a little stressed. For some reason I feel like I'll be messing sth up eventually. I don't know yet what it's going to be but it'll happen...

At the moment I can only tell you this much: 
Recently I rule in the kitchen (at least for now)! Dude, I made this delicious risotto from scratch today. Who knew I was such an amazing cook? - I didn't... until now. Most likely nobody else is going to find out because I won't be able to create the exact same. Yeah sure, I can try and make something else instead. Question though: Is it going to be as good? And what is it going to be? I guess one just has to be brave and find out :P

Hopefully next week I'll have enough time to give Chocolate Chip Cookies another try. I really want to eat them and this time get them right (you know, just like the ones in my head)....

Note to self:
Bake those cookies and bring the camera more often to anywhere ^^

My day started pretty slow...

It was dark outside and freezing. I just didn't feel well (wonder why?!).
I prefered staying in bed and watching whatever good stuff was on my laptop. 
In between I ate some breakfast and eventually felt even worse than before.
Finally facebook (well actually one of my fb-friends) was referring to the results from that Literary Studies exam we wrote last week. We were able to look 'em up today!
I could just think: Oi, now the day is totally screwed...
At least that's what I figured, but fortunately I was wrong . In fact, I didn't do so bad afterall (won't complain here ;) )... so my mood went up and everything looked so much brighter to me.
Later that day I was trying to avoid my studies for a while, but ended up doing at leats something.

At night some of my and my roomie's friends came over. (It was this surprise thing we had planned for my roomie for a couple days now).
Turned out pretty well: 
Pizza, wine, all sorts of candy and lots of talking involved :D
So sort of an awesomeish day ^^

BTW: I'll have to move soon, so I'm looking for a new place (again)!
Sweet, huh?! - NOT!!

triple C

Ukay this past week I made Chocolate Chip Cookies, actually twice.

Monday: My first batch was waaaaay to sweet for my taste. Otherwise they were ukay. My roomie really liked them, at least someone did, right?! ;) Note for next time: Use more than 1 baking tray, otherwise one will just have a gigantic cookie :P 


Ukay so Wednesday 2nd try, this time a few adjustments to the recipe (to thge one I used before): only half the sugar!! Aaand guess what - still a tad too sweet. Still not what I've been looking for. So I figured maaaybe I should take a different recipe :P

So I asked on fb for a good CCC recipe and a few of my friends helped me out (guess the other one's just want to keep their favourite recipe a secret :P ). Now I'll just have to find the time and motivation to give it another shot ;)

--> I just really want to eat a awesomely delicious cookie like the self-baked ones I ate before.... is that too much to ask?!  

FYI:  I've rarely ever baked those cookies before and whenever there was always someone around who knew what needed to be done.... apparently I don't, because I seem to be missing something here...

Yup, so for today I stuck with my good old marble cake recipe and that sure was a great decision (at least something I'm able to bake) ^^

Some hate it, some 'love' it...

Considering that today is February 14th... you can be sure that I'm talking about Valentine's Day! If I had to choose between hate and love than I guess I'd tend to pick love. On the one hand I'm being optimistic and on the other hand because last year's V-Day was the awesomest so far!
Pillow fight in San Francisco, I mean how much better can it get?!


Here some pics (didn't have my cam with me, so I have to give credits to my friends n the Internet ;) )









How on earth am I not to love San Francisco?!

Ukay n here a random video of that very day, so maybe u get an idea what I'm talking about ;)






Well so far today I had to take an exam, so that certainly was not the best part of my day, right?! Sure!

The only good part is that the rest of the day I can just do as I please (if that's the right way to put it ;) )

Yup, but I'm pretty sure you all will have a fabulous time, because why not?!

Always good to spread some love, so today's your day to make everyone see that everyday should be a day to show you care and to let'em know you love'em :D ... 

Spur of the moment kinda thing (is that right?!)
My less than 60 sec-gift for 2 of my friends, just because I felt like it and just because they were the only ones I saw after the exam, I'd probably have done more! So some other time maybe, folks :P


Today: After lunch at that college food place stuff thingy we went to that other place right across, it's like this cafe "Bruecke", pretty nice.
D. reserved a couch while I was supposed to get him a Cappuccino. I was gonna get a Latte Macchiatto and E. felt like a Cappucino aswell. Therefore I asked her to just get 2 of them (one for her and one for him). No problemo.


Except E.: "So what am I gonna say now when I order?
                 2 Cappuccini, please?!"
The barista overheard us & was just like: "You can say both! 'Cappucinos' is german and the other one is italian; so either way is fine!"


Never though about it before... so next time I order more than 2 beverages I'll have to remember: Latte Macchiati, Esspressi, Capuccini... :P


Uhhh, one more thing: gonna bake some delic version of Nm's Chocolate Chip Cookies laterrrr.... Yummm!!

Finals & Friendship

Studying for finals takes away my time for other things...
and in my study brakes I seem to drift off somehow... 
I get bored or whatsoever I don't know, who cares, doesn't matter... 
Anyways, that's how I discovered another interesting image I wanted to share...
So here you go and ya today I took my math exam which was kinda good (I think but not sure if I'm right). Tomorrow's my 'Integrated Language class 1' (and seriously who came up with that name?!) But well after that I still won't be done with finals (last one in March) :/
So please cross your fingers and press your thumbs so I'll remember all my vocab & grammar :P

For my friends : Love you all! xoxo

Lazy or Awesome?!

I found this on the web.
I have to admit that it kinda shows my way of living!
Well at least the idea that behind it, if you're with me :P
