Done!

Finally all moved in! Y-Day we were basically carrying things, putting furniture together allll day long.

We started early in the morning in my old flat. I realize now I have too much stuff! Seriously I think it grew overtime.

Also y-day I wasn't so sure about my new place anymore. It's on the 4th floor and doesn't have an elevator or anything.... We were so dead after a while.... my legs still hurt today a little...

This morning I'm all good... now I don't regret it at all.

I still need to clean my old place and get my last few things and then that chapter closes.

In my new place I'll decorate everything and do final adjustments evebtually the next few or sth.

Pics therefore will have to wait until then I guess ;)

Though my new room isn't as sunlight-flooded as I wanted it to be, I like it nevertheless. The view is pretty cool considering I live in downtown now. ANd I can keep my window open all day if desired without any car noises or whatsoever :D Awesome!!

the view from my room

& at night.... naah jk, still light out, gotta wait

3 hours of sleep...

is just not enough. Especially if you've been awake for 24h.

Even the weather seems to agree. All cloudy & chilly.

Just got the keys for my new flat. I might just start moving tonight already. The big stuff will be done tomorrow that's for sure. We'll have a van borrowed by then. That means: Packing the rest :/ Totally dreading that part.

Y-day night was my friend's E.s B-Day Party. Pretty cool. She really loved the  collage I made. Yeay! I guess all those weird cuts are worth it. EVen though they still pain me today :P

A bunch of nice people were there. We had tons of drinks and food. Almost everyone played Karaoke. Pretty fun to listen to at times :D

I got my fair share too ;)

At like 2am the leftovers (6people) went to a club downtown for some more dancing. Who'd think that we still had to stand in line to get in?! Seriously that's crazy. The place was stuffed but had good tunes so no need to complain. Quite eventful too. S. threw her drink into that flashy dude. Just like in the movies, I tell ya. ALso this weird old guy was dancing on a pole and in that cage (if that's whatever that was). He was amazingly fun to watch. All emotional singing along and dancing with no one at all except maybe that pole :P He was even taking off one of his shirts and his weird scarf and well... let's just say did some weird dance moves...

We left the club at 6 in the morning to grab some Burgers at McDonalds. Weird thing the daylight was there already. Then the guys and E. took a cab back to E.'s place while S. and me walked to my place. I fell asleep at 7am.

And yes only 3 small hours of sleep for S. and me. Somehow impossible to get more. That's why I can't wait for tonight's sleep :P

Afterall another one of those awesome nights passed.

It is pretty strange walking home from a club when the daylights already there...

Clumsy me...

Especially this week.

Just one of my many souvenirs

Looks like I just painted my finger.. I wish!

Good thing I don't get blue bruises easily otherwise I'd be looking pretty weird. A dalmation dog comes to my mind.

It probably lies in the family. My sister is mostly worse off.

When I was a kid, I used to loose my fights against gravity. Not as bad today anymore. Nevertheless no chair or door is safe. Be prepared to be hearing me apologize to furniture and such...

Uhh remember I told you about my cookie baking skills:

gigantic cookie: happens if you only have one tray

My first: squares

Again the first ones were way too sweet for my taste, but well I usually prefer it less sweet sooo... yup

I'm still packing everything for Sunday... such a drag I tell ya. My flat looks major messy. It doesn't make it any better.

Also I had to put together my friend E.'s B-day present:

I don't know why on earth, the blog thing keeps turning this pic...
good thing we can tilt our heads ;) 

Uh so while I was trying to get the photos in the frame it happened again:

another cut... what the...?!

Just what I mean.... and why do I get a headache now?! Nothing makes sense :P Well at least I got it done... that's sth, so almost all prepared for the night.... except I'll have to search for my dinner through all those bags my sis and me packed. Not the smartest move.... adventurous neverthe less ;)

Busy Bee

I've been pretty busy the last few days.
I'll be moving this Sunday. My stuff won't pack itself on its own...
I moved here in October and am leaving end of March, that's just a couple of months. Apparently my stuff must alive or something like that because it keeps growing.
How on earth did I manage to get so many things?
It feels like the packing will never end. Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm not even halfway done... oh dear...

Ukay also I'm trying to make a B-Day gift for my friend. I'm supposed to be done by tomorrow night... not as far as I planned to be here either... man...

Too many things spoking around in my head I can't grasp them all...

Also I'm frustrated with my schedule for this coming semester...
I only got into half the classes I wanted to take and now I have to wait for the next phase to sign up... oh and which classes I might be able to squeeze in order to get a somewhat acceptable schedule.... pretty annoying...

Somehow my 'To Do'-List seems to add up rather than getting checked off. I get 1 done and right away 3 others replace that one... man...

I've been at my parents the last few days and they want to do some redecorating. New wallpaper for our huge hall it is. Stairs and all.
My dad's big on doing things himself. My dad, my sis and I had to get rid off the old one first. It took us two entire days... (Lucky us: My dad was off for those days) My mum was keen on getting the kitchen done aswell. After an hour working we were certain not to do more than we have to, sorry kitchen.

Oh funny part: we pulled the whole wallpaper off and my mum (the decisionmaker for these type of things) hasn't even chosen a new one. I guess our hall will be looking yellowish rough for a while ;)
I mean my dad is working full time, it's not like he can just do everything at once now.

Less than 2 weeks and classes will start again... I'm just looking forward to lots of sunny days, just like the one today (don't mind it being warmer though ;) )

  

If the people all over the world...

...turned out a light, they don't need, I wonder how much energy that'll save.

Nature is beautiful and needs to be saved.
Here are some advices on how to be more environmentally friendly:

1. Don't forget to set your Game Consoles on Power Save. Very Important: always turn them off completely. Xbox & PS3 set on sleep almost use up as much power as if they were in use.
2. Power Strips with a switch prevent the electronic devices from staying on Stand-by.
3. Everything adds up, so unplug all the Chargers you do not need. 
4. Use green search machines like: http://ecosia.org/ (it uses green electricity)
5. Switch to a green electricity provider!
6. Use rechargable batteries instead of normal ones. FYI: 1 rechargeable battery can replace about 500 normal batteries!!
7. For your computer, laptop, etc. set it on Power Save (Plan)! And forget about the Screen Saver alltogether.
8. Whenever you leave your work area to take a break, remember to switch off the Computer screen.
9. Save Paper: Print your stuff on both sides. 
10.  Let them send you your bills via e-mail.
11. FYI: The production of recycled paper uses 50 % less water and energy! 
12.  So: Only use recycled paper, toiletpaper, tissues...
13.  Finish your old supplies and switch to climate friendly cleaning products & detergent!
14. Only because you are using a lot of a cleaning supply doesn't necessarily mean that it'll be any cleaner ;) So be aware of the right dosage!
15. Don't use the small pots for the big hotplates and don't forget to put the lid on while cooking!
16. Water heater are a much better option for heating water for tea or broth than using the stove.
17. Cooking and baking yourself is way more fun, tastes better and finally is more climate friendly. 
18. Let your leftovers cool off before putting them in the fridge.  

To be continued...

Earthquake and its consequences...

I'm quite shocked about what happened to Japan. I've been at my parents watching the news all morning. I can't believe it. I want to help but don't know how I possibly can. I pray for everyone's safety.

This afternoon I baked a cake and 6 cupcakes. 
Really yummy (one thing I'm good at :) ). Almost all cupcakes are already gone so sorry, but no pics for u guys ;)

I have so much free time now. It's kinda weird. There's so much I have to do (a whole list I need to finish) and other things I want to do. Not sure exactly where to start. Mostly trying to organize my move scheduled end of March. Hopefully all my furniture will fit - wishthinking for sure.

Today was my last...

...exam for this semester (hopefully). YEAY!

It's been an awfully long time: I've had at least 1 exam each month ever since December!! Ya basically 4 months almost continually studying for exams... 
I'm ready to take a deep breath, but still have to wait for the results...
The afternoon I spent talking to some people and organizing stuff for my move.
I'm supposed to move beginnig of April, but I probably will have to change that. My parents are going to help me but they are too busy that time so it'll have to be end of March.
Now I have to find a truck for rent for little money.
Also I'm looking into a new Internet/telephone provider... man why are there so many different choices of both...
My result so far is a headache and first I thought a weird noise...
But the noise is explainable. I don't know if I should like though.
It appears I'm not alone anymore.


My 'other' roomie is back. It feels like he never left. BUT I am certain he did about 30 times!! I let him go out my window. I even tried the kitchen and the bathroom window. Gosh he must like me very much. I don't deserve that honour as I don't have mutual feelings for him.
This is driving me crazy... how on earth did he get back into my room?? AGAIN!! If only I knew. It's not like I can just let him out again. He's up on that ceiling (probably 3 meters/10 feet or even more).
Too high for climbing up a chair and getting him. Nope! Can't do!
Guess I won't be sleeping alone tonight, am I right Mr. Ladybug?! ;)

Unfortunately I don't really know anything about Baseball...

This much I know:
Something about 3 strikes and being out.
Ukay I might no more than this, but I sure won't know any correct terms :P
Allright, so what's the deal? Why am I thinking about Baseball?
Hm good question, bot quite sure....
I was thinking about failing 3 times and so my brain somehow came up with that strike thing ^^


Yesterday I made Chocolate Chip Cookies again.
They are good. Buuuut I'm still not convinced. Like I know I can do better.
Just got to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I just don't know
Maybe it's because I have to convert all those 'cups', 'ounces' and whatsoever into the metric system. Maybe wrong amounts...


Or I just need someone to show me how to make the perfect ones :P
Guinea pigs step forward... I seriously need help!!
