Berlin & Classes starting again
Posted by Viviane in Blog, Family, Friends, Life, School, Travel, WorkMy homepage was down for the past few days, because Randy (who is hosting it) moved his site to another host, but now it’s back up and working. I made some changes - the layout is new and I added an Archives page. It took me forever to figure out how to make the Archives work, but now they are, so I don’t have to worry about it anymore. The reason I changed the layout is that I wanted to use Widgets (a sidebar plug-in for Wordpress) and my old layout didn’t support it.
Thursday to Saturday I was in Berlin. It was really fun. The weather was good for the most part, and I took many, many pictures. You can see them at my Flickr account if you like. I didn’t get much sleep but that’s okay. I have been catching on sleep in the past two nights. After we got back a bunch of us went to Mandy’s which was really great. I love that place and the last time I had been there was in February I think.
Tomorrow (well actually today, it’s past midnight) I will have my first class of the summer semester. I hope all my classes will be okay - interesting but not too much work. One of my classes isn’t starting till next week so I only have six hours of classes this week.
By the way, I found a job. It’s at a local bookstore but since it is only four hours a week, I am still looking for another job. I applied for one at the university two weeks ago, and I have an interview with them on Wednesday. I really hope that works out. I’d be working 12 hours a week (four in one and eight in the other job) and making a total of €353 ($433) a month which would be perfect. So keep your fingers crossed that I get the job. I do think I fulfill all their requirements really well, but I don’t know how many others do, too.
The other week, I had to make a decision that was very hard on me. Someone disappointed and hurt me very much, and left me no choice but to cut off contact with them. I’ve been struggling with that, because even though I know I had to do this for myself, and it is for the better in the long run, it hurts so damn much. I don’t know if I will revise this decision at some point in the future, because they really let me down, and I just don’t know if that can be fixed (and it could only be fixed if they cared as well which I am not sure about). In the past few days, I have been doing better about this, but it still makes me incredibly sad to think about it.
Anyway, this weekend Tina is finally coming to Heidelberg. That is, if nothing comes up that crosses our plan. I have already thought about some things we could do while she’s here, and it’ll be great. Tina is sick, and she has an assignment to do for class by the end of next week, so her visit will be delayed again - probably by a few weeks. Bummer! Then the weekend after this one, I am going to Osnabrück because my uncle and aunt are celebrating their birthdays. I am pretty excited about that. I don’t get to see my family all that often, and I am especially looking forward to seeing my cousin Julia and my cousin’s son Linus. My parents will also be there. (My brother won’t because he has to study for his finals.)
Well, so much for now. I am off to bed now, because I have to get up in about eight hours. Good night!
