this and that...
Happy belated Birthday, nee_chan!
*snuggleloves* I hope you had a fabulous day, Lady! ♥♥♥

The boy and I got back from Germany a couple of hours ago, where we spent the weekend at the house where my grandparents used to live. It now belongs to my dad and his siblings, but they are trying to sell it, so I really wanted to see everything one more time before it's gone.
There are so many happy memories tied to that place where we used to spend almost every summer vacation since I was born until I was about 20 years old. I had a really hard time leaving today, knowing it might have been the last time ever in my life. : (
Unfortunately, the weather wasn't exactly nice, so we couldn't really spend any time down at the lake, swimming and sunbathing. But on the other hand, I got to meet up with gwy on Saturday while visiting Munich (which is about an hour from the house). ^____^
It made me so very happy to be able to see her again, even though it was way too short to really catch up. I'm definitely planning to go see her for an entire weekend as soon as I get the time. ♥♥ So, Saturday was wonderful with shopping and eating (an incredible amount of) sushi and being with two people I love. ^_^
The coming two weeks I'm working full time to get enough hours so I can take off from work until November. Yay! for upcoming trips and vacation! \o/
...BUT it has to be earned. XD I've still got a paper to finish (a short one, about 15 pages, and I've got a third written already) and then I need to prepare my presentation for the defense of my thesis, which is taking place on July 7.
And after that I will be free. For real (except for the administrative stuff I have to take care of in order to graduate)...
So, my life's still busy but not half bad, I think. ^___^
