… and I’m happy.
My internship at the remote sensing company ended September 28th and today I was told that I can work there two half days a week during the semester. God thanks! It fits in perfectly with my schedule and I’m happy I can work at the company where I’ll write my diploma in February and where I’m planning on working in the future. I’m glad they need me, too!
So, after I got that lovely message I went shopping!
I bought my nephew (it’s his 3rd birthday on Saturday) some Play-Doh, I bought myself some lovely pink goggles (when I go swimming without them my eyes look as if I smoked about five joints – or worse) and I bought two books, The Great Gatsby and Animal Farm. They were both recommended at SNARK and I need books to read.
Class has been going well so far. The professors already let us know when they won’t be there – nice! We had to chose a presentation topic in Geography class today and I chose Turkey (the country?). Also if I’m not a big fan, I’m still very interested in the people, the culture, the politics and the countryside. I guess I’m just not that big of a fan of the behavior of some Turks here in Germany. Their religion is quite fascinating yet I do not understand it. The speech has to be about 30 minutes long and I guess I should start researching soon.
Any thing else I could write about? Hm, well, my Ex got engaged. He lives in Texas and we only have contact through MySpace. I’m happy for him, it still is weird though, somehow, maybe. Eh – I don’t know. It was weird for maybe one second. How do you deal with things like that (marriage, kids, new girlfriend/boyfriend), if an Ex tells you about it?

Congratulations on the job! I loved 1984 so I need to remember to check out Animal Farm. I used to have too much time and read endlessly; now I don’t have any!
Too young to have a real ex. However, I am the jealous type. Thus I’ll need to move on first or I’ll wallow in self pity. 😛
The Great Gatsby and Animal Farm are both delicious. Ah, sophomore English…
Also way too young to relate to the ex thing (and hopefully will never, ever have to – oh idealism!), but…I would probably be the sort who’s all or nothing, and I wouldn’t even want to know anything about the ex’s life, so it wouldn’t come to that. But if I was forced to find out…I dunno. If my best friend who sucks at being a friend got married, I’d wish him the best. But I wouldn’t go out of my way to attend or give him anything.
Animal farm is a great book. That is a story I will never forget.
I have bought several boxes with Play-Doh for my nieces and I have always felt a little envy when they played with it and wouldn’t let me in 🙁
Congrats on the job! Sounds like it will fit into your schedule just perfectly. 🙂
I have still never read Animal Farm. Some English classes in high school read that, but not mine. I did however read The Great Gatsby in high school. I found it confusing and difficult to follow. It just wasn’t my cup of tea. Of course, I don’t get into classic-type books very easily. I actually had to watch the movie (which I didn’t really like either). I did miserably on the quiz needless to say. 😀 Hopefully you’ll have a better time with it than I did. Of coruse, I was a lot younger then. Maybe I’d like it more now.
I don’t really have an ex to be honest, so I don’t really have problems like yours. I imagine it would feel very weird though.
Tell me how you like Animal Farm, it’s one of my faves.
Congratulations on getting the job! I really want to read those books since they’re considered classics.
Grats for getting the job! 😀 I’m still waiting on my job applications…
I’ve heard good reviews for both those books you got. I might try read them during my summer, hmm.
It must be pretty weird to hear about marriage from an ex. I’m too young at the moment to hear about it from any of my ex-boyfriends soon but… I wouldn’t want to know. Especially if I still like him. 😮
