It's this time of the year again - where everybody is coughing and sniveling. For the longest of times I was fine but now I'm down with the flu as well. However, silly me is still debating whether or not to go to work today cuz it's not really really bad yet. I know it'S silly and I know I'll regret it the moment I set foot in front of my class and ( Read more... )

I've changed jobs since I last posted. Unfortunately and despite the trouble I had at the old place the new one really isn't my cup of tea. The colleagues are friendly and the kids are really sweet but something doesn't feel rigth ( Read more... )

those of you wo know me know about my friend gertrud. she fell sick about a year ago and couldn't live on her own anymore. her family didn't have the time and/or nerve to look after her so they sent her to a senior residency. in the beginning she was very upset about it but she adapted after a while - at least this is what she said ( Read more... )

i know i already posted a little snipplet about my nightmare experience with my former landlady, her fuckhead of a partner and the time i lived in my "little house" but since i never had the time to elaborate: here's the long version of the story ( Read more... )

oh my god, it's really been forever since i last updated my LJ. so many things have happened that i do not really know where to start. as for my new job it is seriously demanding. i like the kids and collegues but the hours are murder. i can't wait for the christmas holidays to arrive! the other major theme in my life has been my asshole landlady ( Read more... )

so, today was the big day - and i have to say that it was very anti-climatic. after very little sleep - i had a big fight with my parents and my new landlady - i was up at 6 a.m. went to school about an hour later only to learn that nobody really felt responsible for me. i was asked to check with the other teachers and see if one of them would be ( Read more... )

my god I can’t believe that it has been so long since I updated my journal - time really is flying when you’re busy. only last week I had my introductory week and come monday will be my first day as a teacher trainee. crazy as it sound but I’m really looking forward to it. oh well I’ll probably be over this first enthusiasm by the end of the week ( Read more... )

the whole country - no make that the whole continent - is suffering from one hell of a heatwave. my room gets as hot as 35° over the course of the day. i never thought that there'd be a time i'd wish for a couple of days of gray skies and nasty german rain. i'm totally drained by the heat and humidity. there's no relieve in showering since the body ( Read more... )

i know i haven't updated in what seems like forever and worst of all there has been absolutely no reason for it. since i finished university i had all the time in the world but for some reason i didn't feel like interacting at all - not even in a virtual way ( Read more... )

finally, my exams are over and dealt with. i've even done really good apart from the one oral exam i complained about some time ago. funny thing is i'm so drained that now where i have the time to do anything i couldn't do for the last 10 months or so i feel so drained that i barely manage to drag myself to the shower and back. it's as though ( Read more... )
