Wrong choices.

Sometimes I find it hard to keep on track in order to follow my overall goal. With the current economic
circumstances a good university degree gets more important than ever. At the moment, however, it does not
feel good at all, but way too much.

Where is my umbrella to cover me? Is it good to make your decisions only in the hope of reaching your overall
goal at some point? Shouldn't be the way towards it feel right, too? Somewhere, deep buried,
I still think every experience will be of importance, and if only to find out what is not good
for you. May the following saying be right. Let's stay strong and hope for the best.

Studying.

I started my postgraduate studies in Scotland. Learning how to fit in into a new culture, paired with a great 

landscape and one of UK's best universities sounded good to me. Now I find myself more busy than ever.

What about all the journeys to the highlands I pictured? How about all the afternoons I hoped spending at the 

seaside? Alright, sometimes we just have to get things done, putting all the pleasure activities aside but at 

the same time it is absolutely necessary to take a break once a while and to reward yourself with a little 

something to be able to keep up. Let me remind you to treat yourself to something special. Why not today?

Happy Pre-Halloween!

Graduated!

I just received my certificates and finished college for good!
How great is that? Now it's..

Tea.

It is healthier choice. Maybe it is not always the best, for everybody, but it is for me. Is there something
else as a nice, freshly made cup of tea just for you if you feel blue?

The special feature is the ceremony: picking out the leaves, boiling the water, filling up the cup,
watching the water slowly changing its color and the flavor spreading across the room. You cannot get
that from coffee. When the tea has finally cooled down you feel the hot liquid running down the throat
right into the stomach, where it develops a gentle heating up process. Alright - this, coffee serves, too.

Anyway, these days have been unusual cold and rainy. We are all awaiting summer, and I am forcing it
to finally come by banning all the warm clothes. Thus the tea is a must to keep me warm. What are your
strategies to deal with this situation?

Worrying.

Wow, guys, can you believe it? It is almost two months since the last blog entry. And still
the blog statistic shows there are some wonderful people stopping by, even though I have
not published anything for such a long period. Thank you so much. That really keeps me
going!
And in fact there is a reason for my absence. I am in the midst of writing my thesis and
the due date is coming close. With that the questioning has started, too: What is next?
What will be once I graduaded? Where do I see myself working afterwards? Setting high
standards to both myself and my environment there are tons of requirements I would
love a future working environment to be like. On the other hand, would it not be better
to continue with my academic career subsequently?
All the questioning and researching did not made it easier. Life is full of opportunities,
in case you haven't noticed. Me, however, I ended up worrying. Worrying and at the
same time driving all my beloved ones I asked for advice almost crazy.

Things rarely turn out the way you expect. Would it not be better to just take things as
they come? If a decision cannot be made right away, why forcing it? Why do we put such
a pressure on ourself that we would never put on somebody else?

I am not sure what is the best decision making strategy. But I learned one thing:







































True that.
The challenge now is to apply.

Boxes all over.

And again I am packing.. how often have I done this these last couple of years? Oh yeah, it the 12th time
within the last 5 years. Well, let's say, I am not one of the steady ones. Lately, things seem to turn boring
more easily ever after. Have you ever happen to experience such an attitude on yourself?
However, I hope you excuse my absence lately as I have already cancelled my Internet contract and actually
start to enjoy the quiet evenings.

With I am filling my brand new boxes, the shelves getting empty and nostalgia sneaking up, I am replacing
my tea with the last bottle of wine I was saving for a special occasion. À votre santé!
