Working 9 to 5 (and 6 to 10...)

Now it's SWOT-VAC, they call the examperiod SWOT-VAC and I've forgot what it means. Anyway, I'm spending my time studying to my first exam that is on saturday morning. It's probably the hardest exam, but what do I know? At the moment I'm enjoying a fabulous salad with kidney beans, snow peas, carot, avocado, brown rice and mustard vinegrette. Everything tastes fantastic with my vinegrette!

I collected my wildlife management essays before and was excited to read the comments. However, as I didn't do a proper proof read, there were a lot of comments and some grammar mistakes. Would be ebst if I had an english person doing the proof reading of all my works but I don't have that. Don't feel like harassing the few native english speakers in my house...

Although many comments I got 87/100 marks on the first one and 83/100 on the second. "Great work. Lots of good references and great research done! Good job writing an essay in a language that isn't familiar to you". First time someone said that, felt good! :)

I'm increadibly homesick at the moment. But it helps thinking that my parents are coming soon, exams are finished in 3 weeks, I'm going to see nice stuff and then GO HOOOME!

June, why am I not as lovely as you?

Sitting at the library in a hoody, jacket, scarf and vandrarstrumpor. It's still cold. My hands are cold, my nose is cold. Everybody seems to think that as soon as you originate north of the latitude 50°N you are not welcome to freeze anymore. In that case an african can't sweat for example. I think that's silly because I think they sweat. Back to the cold, I guess the temperature dropped again the last days because now it's so hard to get up from bed. And I'm unbeliebly unmotivated to go write on this stupid report.

Fuck it, today I only feel like going home. It's like you should be ashamed of wanting to go home when you're here. I MISS HOME AND IT'S GONNA BE AWESOME TO COME HOME! There, I said it. Of course I miss home when my wonderful friends, boyfriend and family are there. I can't see anything strange with that.

Yes, I have a bad day or days maybe I should say. It's been a bit shit lately, it really feels like my brain came out with the shit a few days ago. Therefore it makes it so much harder to work.

At least it's June.
(Sorry for writing such a depressing blog insertion!)

Eine kleine junge

Soon I'll be more active on Skype, which probably means less studying... But I don't care cause at least we can skype again. J is coming home! If not Landvetter decides to shut down the airport in time for their arrival.

Okay, enough procrastination now. Back to report writing!

Tschüß!

Montpelier - The Rafters (Official Music Video)

Here they are people. Enjoy!

2 down 2 to go

Right. I'm currently going through a sugar coma here so I can't really put my thoughts together. But I CAN tell you is that I've submitted two essays today. Have been working on them for a while now but the last three days have been manic! Yesterday I worked 7 hours in the library and then 8 hours when I came home. The hours between 1am and 4am passed really quickly. Woke up 9am and worked again until 2pm today. Then I went to uni to print and hand them in.

They were alternative assignments because I didn't go to Fraser Island with the class. But I don't think I would have liked their report more than these, as they had to make graphs and analyze in excel. And at least one persone know that I don't fancy that... My essays were about Wildlife Management and conflicting issuess. One about the Feral Camel (Camelus dromedarius) in Australia and the other about a similar controversial topic in our home country. So I realized that the Scandinavian Grey Wolf (Canis lupus) was perfect. Although, more time and I would have done them better. But perfect is a measure beyond reach so average will do, but still I can't be totally happy with them as I hardly had time to proof read... The topics were interesting at least, so it wasn't too bad. God, I'm thinking I'm turning asian soon. I wonder if this is how they feel. Do they do perfect or are they never happy enough with what they accomplish?

Enough about essays and asian.

I'm having a sugar coma and need to rest. Reckon I'm going to bed early tonight. But before that I need to start thinking about a topic for my next report about climate change. And what else than a climate change documentary can make you more inspired?

Ps. I've find a second love, a Brisbane band called Montpelier. They're awesome!

Toodles.
