Nostalgia
I finally finished reading and correcting Mira's thesis (Examensarbeit). I listened to Raphael the whole 2 hours it took me reading it and I felt soooo nostalgic. I haven't heard these songs for AGES. Honestly, I don't know when I listened to them last... must have been years. It was pretty funny... I wanted to sing along or at least hum the melody, but I was wrong sooo many times. Ah the embarassement. Raphael used to be one of my favourite bands. It's a shame I didn't manage to see the bands I so loved and adored years ago in a live concert. I saw so many bands and really enjoyed the concerts but it would've been way different if those bands had been bands that had really touched me... teenage memories and stuff. Pierrot (I will never forgive myself for missing the chance to see them), Raphael, Baiser, L'Arc~en~ciel, Luna Sea, X-Japan, hide... These bands today don't touch me at all. Meep... I'm not a teenager or early twen anymore. I really want to get rid of all the junk I have but it takes so damn much time to get everything on ebay. Sucks!
Only three weeks left until Easter. So much to do until then but I'm somehow lacking energy and I really don't know why. There's no reason! Before Easter there's the meeting in Osnabrück where I have to present a poster and have to make lots of experiments to fill the empty spaces on it. Besides, there's this application for Woods Hole that needs to be written and that's due end of March. It's so damn difficult to write. CV in English, letter of motivation - why I want to take part in that course, previous experience,... and a lot more. And I fear that this will be all in vain. This course is limited to 18 people and is open to post-docs as well. So do I have ANY chance? Our new veterinarian is going to apply as well, and Olaf maybe too. And then there's little me with so few experience in the matter...
Good news: I asked my prof if I can get some days off around Easter (ok) and was then also brave enough to ask about June. And yeah, I can take 1-2 days off!! That means Rock im Park here I am. I'm so damn happy that I can go. This was the perfect start for the week-end. Now I only have to ask Melanie and buy the tix. The special sale is prolonged until Wednesday so I have to hurry!
And maybe Mira is going to visit me at some point during the next weeks. I'm sooo looking forward to having my lil sis here!!!
Bad news: Oma is in hospital again. Nothing serious but I was really shocked when I heard the news. She'll be fine again soon my mum told me.
Bad news is also that Yv's general mood and condition is still bad. Her boss is an ass, money is a prob and then there's this "good" friend of hers who always behaves in unpredictable and strange ways that are driving Yv mad (and me, too). I talked with her for 2,5 hours today again and it's always the old story with new words. I feel really sorry for her.
