thursday, the big day
It's thursday today and this is the day where I always expect calls or e-mails from my boss telling me about people who complain about my articles. The issue from our city desk (is that the right translation?) always appears on tuesdays in the newspaper. And although this happened - as far as I know - only twice, I always expect such reactions. Probably because I'm never really content with my texts. In the two cases where people complained about my texts, one of them even almost terrorised me and send letters to our office and to different city departments. He even send them a copy from my article where he marked the parts which were "completely wrong". Luckily I was the one who was right, but I guess I got traumatized back then, lol. Still very funny though.
I'm not in Easter mood yet.. wouldn't mind if the temperature rose a little. Therefore I've been in a shopping mood lately, hehe.
Besides the new clothes which may require a huger wardrobe, my DVD collection increased for several essentially needed (well more or less^^) films and episodes:
- Hatari!
- La Haine
- Gilmore Girls Season 5 & 6
- Friends Season 1 & 2
- Candy
- Brokeback Mountain
- Scoop
- Lucky # Slevin
That's not good for my budget, but I hope that my shopping enthusiasm will slow down now, lol.
I finally started to go to the driving school and already took some lessons. I'l try to get as many as possible before uni starts again.
I actually planned to revise the last semester but I still haven't done very much. The revision includes lerning to talk and write in a British and American accents which is quite fun (until it comes to the transcription, yuck). Unfortunately I didn't have the chance to practice that with others yet very often. I just talk to a friend from England from time to time. She'll come to visit me in June, wohooo! :-) This will be fun!
I've also been going to my favourite Irish Pub quite often lately. The people working there come from England, Ireland and Australia, and as one of my lectureres said "Go to Irish Pubs and train your English!".. hehe. Alright, if you say so! ;-)
I'd love to show more pictures I took of events I had to write about, but I guess this is probably not allowed since the people I took pics of probably don't want to be presented here. This is a pity since many photos are really hilarious/strange/suprising.
Anyway here are some other pics I took within the last year because I have my beloved camera since almost a year now.
