guess who's back?
i haven't been updating my blog in a while, i have been kinda busy alternately doing my internship at a newspaper and sleeping... i've been so tired lately, i habitually fell asleep at nine p.m. do'nt think its gonna change with uni starting again at tuesday and having a workload like no semester before but oh well. i'm still sort of enthuasiastic about next semester, i already got all of my books (which cost a fortune, and i'm gonna kill someone if all we do is read ten pages and then call it a day). on top of that, i'm really looking forward to moving my clothes back to bonn since my closet at home is bursting at the seams. yeah. so much for girls talk. st andrews is annoying me because they decided they needed a transcript and a letter of reference with the application two weeks before it was due, and the erasmus-people at my uni didn't know about that, so that caused some panic. and i still don't know whether the letter has to be in english... thank you very much.
also, i'm going to see kate nash in cologne in may, yay! i was so excited when i saw that she was gonna come to germany and even to close to where i live so i have to take the opportunity.
oh man, considering how i haven't written a thing here in months, it's surprising how little i have to say... i really enjoyed my internship, it lasted six weeks, the people of the editorial staff were treasures (does that make me sound like an 80-year-old lady?) and i got to write loads of articles which made me really proud and happy cause everyone told me that that's not always the case. so yeah. still not sure whether this might be a possibility for a later career, and also not sure whether i should do another internship at a newspaper or rather somewhere else... i'll have loads of time when i come back from scotland, about four months... maybe i should make up my mind now since i don't want to apply to late... argh, decisions, don't you hate that when you've just completed an internship and need to worry about the next? maybe it's a humanities problem that you feel you have to constantly collect experience which puts me in a sort of catch-22 situation because on the one hand i know it's important and that nobody will employ you if you go there and say: hi, i studied english and german but i don't have any practical experience whatsoever. but on the other hand i hate that there's so much pressure and that everybody expects you to have completed 10465452194054 internships when, most of the time, you don't get anything for it but experience... but enough with the complaining, my internship was amazing and i'm awfully glad i got the chance to do it and everyone placed so much trust in me and let me do great stories, so... i'm not one to complain here (:
happy new semester, everyone!
