AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!
Exam. For German literature. Next monday. I didn't start early enough to learn. I hate it. I don't want to do it. Stress has me on an creative-intellectual high with rapid-firing synapses and periodical breakdowns, and that doesn't even begin to describe the emotional roller coaster. I termed it 'Chicken mode' when I wrote my master's thesis. Which I don't know anything about result-wise until now.
Ergh. Sorry to everyone to whom I didn't respond. I know, that's normal for me, but right now, I have an actual reason. We say "Galgenhumor" in German, is there an English equivalent like "Gallow's humour" or some such?
And besides all that, my grandmother went to hospital. Should she come out of it alive, I would be rather surprised. Such is life. Or death, more accurately. Galgenhumor, as I said.
Which doesn't prevent the uncounted tears I shed about this occasion already. Not because she dies, that much is obvious since about three years, only acute now. But because I selfishly don't want to loose all her knowledge, her sometimes sarcastic wit and her sweet disposition. Talking about my grandfather (who died five years ago), she said: "He's already waiting for me." And like her comment about 'Immortal Memories' it's like a punch in the gut in effect, but it also makes me smile. It's so... grandma.
