Well, today was a pretty productive Saturday! Sure, I could have done everything I did in about one third of the time, but I still feel pretty good about all my accomplishments.
I finished the summary for my last (ever!) test, I vacuumed the apartment, I finally started watching the Tudors (looooove it!), I finished three crafty projects that have been lying around for forever and a day, and I plan to watch more Tudors and do more craft stuff.
Oh yeah, and I made brownies:
Feels pretty nice having one of those in your tummy.

I totally love how much snow we are getting!
And the fact that I don't necessarily have to go outside too much makes it even better (I imagine traffic must be horrible...).
Just watching the snow fall while I am (supposed to be) studying is really calming.
And a very tiny part of me wants to go out and build a snow-something, but for the most part I am liking the warmth of our apartment. Maybe that changes, we'll see.
And the warmth of my bed for that matter. I slept until 9 today, and it was total bliss. People with the motto "I'll sleep when I'm dead" must have very unconfortable beads or serious insomnia. Idk, I just like to sleep at the moment.
So I'm trying to enjoy the winter and my last days of study-holidays before the 9-5 lab work starts again, with lots of hot tea, candles and a good book or two.
Hope you have a cozy weekend too!
When I was looking through my files and reorganizing a little, I stumbled upon some interesting pictures from ma very first VIT, back in 2007:
Recognize him? It seemed to be sort of a theme that day:
Who knows why...
Well, I'm off to Glarus, I need to study for real now... Test next week...
Have a nice and relaxing weekend!

After a first three weeks of general laziness and the urge to crawl back into bed and sleep some more, I can now say that...
And for the first time (as far as I can remember), I actually have an exhaustive, written list of new years resolutions. And I plan to actually keep them ^^
So here it goes, in no particular order: What I want to do in 2010 (and after)
1. Wear mor colour. I run around in all-black-and-grey clothes too often. And navy blue does not count as colour splash.
2. Find cute flats since I have no shoes that I like that are not high heels or sneakers. I need to change that.
3. Go to at least 3 concerts because I love live music and I have to stop being too lazy to go out.
4. Learn to make bread and other yeast baked goods too. I'm getting tired of the muffins all the time.
5. Learn to make carbonara sauce. The ready made ones are never quite right.
6. Lose 10 kg. The Christmas holidays combined with exams did my waistline no good. Need to change that.
7. Go on a hike with my father as I did last year. It was so much fun, the view was great and we just had time to talk about everything. Wonderful.
8. Go on a date with my man at least every month. We are slowly turning into couch potatos with no social life, which is at the same time relaxing and driving me crazy.
9. Have a clean kitchen every night. There are few things worse than waking up to dirty pots and leftovers.
10. Finish my master in about October. As much as I love student life, I think 4.5 years at ETH is quite enough for me, thankyouverymuch.
11. Find a job, preferrably one I enjoy and earn more than at the cash register of Migros.
12. Make a lot of Christmas presents by hand which I realli like doing, but didn't have time for this season.
13. Swim in at least 3 different lakes. Shouldn't be so hard in Switzerland, right?
14. Sew some clothing for me and my man.
15. See Jack hardy live. Best. Folksinger. Ever. Too bad he is from New York, not very well known here and getting old - meaning he doesn't come to Europe often.
16. Start jogging regularly. I bought really nice jogging shoes yesterday, so the only excuse I have laft is the cold weather. I plan to start in march or so, as soon as the snow is gone for good.
17. Buy a digital camera. Takin pics with my crappy cellphone camera just sucks.
18. Get off my lazy ass and blog once a week or more.
While some of these should be easy (13), others may take a while (2) or may not happen this year at all (17). We'll see how it goes!

relaxed
Finally, I am done with tests for this year. There are two more coming up at the end of January, but right now, I couldn't care less.
Now I can finally enjoy winter, christmassy stuff, I have time for friends family, baking, crafting, reading...
Ah, the rest of December is going to be marvelous.
AAARGH, is it ever going to end?
I am writing on a paper and the progress is ex.tre.me.ly slow... and I should study for so many tests too. Can't wait for December 18th, then I will at least have a break from this torture.

stressed
Well, well, doing high-cost SMS lottery pays off in the end...
I just won two tickets to the New Moon pre-premiere tomorrow, and I am thrilled to say the least.
Anything involving vampires is great, but add cheesy teenage romance, halfnaked werewulf boys, a little sparkling here and there - I'm totallly in!
- Mood:
giddy
busySo, I *finally* handed in the darn outline for a paper I have to write for one of my courses, one piont less on the do-it-immediately-list.
And I have a plan for the next week. I really like plans, and lists. I have many many lists. Some of which I plan to share here sometime... as soon as I am not so incredibly swamped with work anymore.
But its late, I did enough for today - I think I'll cuddle into bed with a book now.
Have a great start of the week tomorrow!

Lately, my life seems really overwhelming. I feel like I have a "to-do" list, a "would-be-nice-if-it-would-get-done-even
I get lost among school, household, sewing, cooking (healthy if possible), keeping up with friends and family, sport, planning for christmas, studying for exams... And sometimes I wonder where I should take the energy from to get all the stuff done.
And the fact that I am really unsure if who I really am, what I want in life and where my priorities lie does not help much. But that's another story...
Then, last Wednesday I went to the DIO concert, even though my head told me that I had a million more important things to do. And it was the right decision because even though I was rather tired the next morning, the experience to see a Japanese band on stage again was... an emotional rollercoaster, really.
I have never seen DIO in my Summer in Japan (did they even exist back then?), but many other visual bands. And just like at the moment, in that summer I was trying to juggle various different things, while feeling kind of lost and alone too.
It took DIO about 5 seconds of the first song to get me back to that summer. All the feelings were back, it was like emotional time travel. I was almost in tears most of the time!
And I that's when I realized how I survived the summer of 2005: I was listening to a lot of music. I used to get so much strength from music, and somehow I must have forgotten lately.
So I really hope to get the chaotic situation inside me under control, one step at a time. And with an awesome playlist in the background...
The top ten would be:
1. Jack Hardy - Fallen
2. Gazette - Cassis
3. Wolfsheim - die Flut
4. Dir en grey - THE FINAL
5. HIM - In Joy and Sorrow
6. Tanzwut - Meer
7. Kagrra, - Haru urara
8. X Japan - Say anything
9. Children of Bodom - Needled 24/7
10. Nightmare - Star[K]night
And any other song by all those Bands really. And Muse. Coldplay. Amaterase. Feindflug. Flyleaf. Gackt. Janne da Arc. Kent. Sonata arctica. And others.
Have a wonderful sunday!
