Month: November 2007

I have 1 hour and 10 minutes, then this day will end. So I need to blog now, before, well, before this day ends.

I just got home from swimming. The lover and I set Monday evening, 8:45pm, as our swim-date. Today I also started my “belly-muscles-training for dummies” workout (it’s a dvd). I’m all euphoric, which isn’t a good sign, seeing euphoria doesn’t really last all that long.
But after reading J’s comment on how she works out and her blog posts on how she works out, I got all motivated. I need to watch that DVD first though to know what I should do with my tummy, what’s good for it. Then in the future, I have that routine and I can do that workout whilst watching Friends or Scrubs or King of Queens or Simpsons 🙂

Do you have a daily/weekly/monthly sport/workout routine?

I really like this t-shirt (on a sidenote), it’s from threadless.com

(I have 45 minutes left until tomorrow now)

Today was a very depressing day. My “fear of flying” ate me alive. I woke up at 3am, couldn’t go back to sleep for one hour because I had the most wicked thoughts about a plane crash. And I couldn’t stop those thoughts and at about 4am I was glad that my tiredness came back to put me asleep again. The awkward part on this – it wasn’t even me flying. My Mom and Sister flew (they should be landing in Atlanta, Georgia right now) to the States today, to Siesta Key (Sarasota), Florida (I must say I’m jealous they are allowed to spend the next two weeks in such a beautiful place), with Delta Airlines.

My fear of flying is pretty frustrating. When I fly I’m totally terrified (note that I’ve been flying since I was two years old and at least once each year) but the older I get/got, the more I got scared. 9/11 didn’t really support my fear.

I really wish I wouldn’t have that fear, this whole day I was a nervous wreck (it scares me most to know the plane is over the ocean), I really wish I wouldn’t feel this way because I’d love to see so many more places on this world, I’d love to fly to the States again (plus, I still have a free flight with Delta because of all my sky miles) – the States have so awesome shops :D.

Next year the geography class is flying to Crete or Santorini, I’d love to go but… eh, I’m afraid I won’t go. I haven’t been on vacation for sooo long though (except Austria).

Anyways, to get my thoughts away, I’ve been surfing for Engagement-rings 😀 Germany really doesn’t have any pretty ones, so I googled for Tiffany’s. There’s even a store in Munich 🙂 Oh, they have such pretty rings. I want one <3. Back to the US - do you have any ideas on what my mom/sister could bring me back from the States? I already “ordered” a few things, like

• Victoria’s Secret Panties
• Clinique cream
• Clinique eyeliner
• Pillow cases (Germany doesn’t have the American size)

Have a good start into the new week!

It’s pretty frustrating.
It’s pretty frustrating when you account for something with team-members and then two of them cancel. When you agree on a date, isn’t it just the most normal thing to attend that appointment? They cancelled for stupid reasons as well.
It’s frustrating because I plan on meeting them and so I plan on no other plans because I plan on meeting with them. Get it?

I just got a new dvd-set today – Friends Series 6 – yay! 🙂 Now I only need Series 1,2,3,4 and 5 and then I’m set. That’s the good thing of not being rich! A Paris Hilton could buy all ten boxes at once – nothing to look forward to. I however can afford a box like that (also if they’re not expensive) every few months, and then I’m so looking forward to ordering it from Amazon 😀

What are you regularly looking forward to?

It’s 12:45pm now. I’ve been sitting on my presentation about “Turkey” (the country – also if you might know, but people (English speaking) tend to give me cook-books) since 8:30am. Hm, that’s only four hours, but I have to take a break. My key aspects are

• History
• Politics
• Religion
• Scenery
• Settlement Geography (Ankara, Istanbul, Izmir, Antalya)

Now, the presentation is only allowed to be 20-30 minutes (preferable 20 minutes). For four hours I’ve been writing about the Religion (which I find most interesting). I skipped the History, I until now have no clue how to shorten history which started about 13.000 years ago. Well, that’s not true, I have a clue, I might start with 1923 (Atatürk) or even with WWI, depending on how much info that is. (it is a lot).

I also skipped the Politics. I realized – I’m sorry for saying this – I am not interested in the Politics of Turkey. I’m not even sure if I’m interested in the German politics 😉 (I am, of course, but it’s quite frustrating at times). I’m very much interested in the US politics though (not going to express my opinion on it).

The Religion, the Islam, is very interesting, that’s the main reason I chose to give a lecture on Turkey.
I need a break from that now though, too much “only one god” (I watched a few videos about the believes in a row, so that’s why), so now I’m blogging.

Here’s a shot of my powerpoint presentation. Very plain, but the plainer – the better (just like with Websites :D)

Are you interested in other countries and/or their religion or not really?

I joined the german Facebook about one week ago. It sucks. It sucks even more when you think that the guy who “copied” facebook got so damn much money for the German Facebook, named “StudiVZ”. (Adastra wrote a good Article, it’s in German) Actually I wanted to boycott StudiVZ, but then, about that written one week ago, I joined.

Of course, the first thing I did, is search for a whole bunch of people I know from somewhere.
I found this guy, let’s name him Bob. Bob and I used to “hang out” when we were kids. By “hang out” I mean, our parents were friends, so when they used to meet, we used to meet. I always thought he was so cute and I always had a crush on him and if my dad and his dad wouldn’t have been cousins and maybe somewhere in us we had the same blood, then I would have seduced him (or at least dreamt of seducing him). When I had those “my-vagina-feels-tickly” feelings I wasn’t a kid anymore, I was a young teen (and so was he).
Anyways, I found Bob, and Bob looks… bleh! In some pictures he still has a slight touch of his childhood face (without wanting to sound all pedophilia-ish now) which is still very cute.

It’s a bummer when you look for this guy you thought was hot shit years ago and then you find out how he looks today and it’s all disappointing. But that doesn’t only happen with guys, of course.

Today I joined NaBloPoMo, the “National Blog Posting Month”. I’m not blogging regularly at the moment and I want to see if I can manage to blog every day (it will be hard, oh yes, it will be hard). Especially because I won’t know what to write about.
Work? The Lover? University? Munich? The Weather? My Thesis? Websites/Webdesign? What did Tracy do today?
Is there anything you’d be interested in reading?

Thanks for all the helpful tips on my last post, I try to follow them.

Now playing: Peter Bjorn And John – Young Folks

Not much to say acutally. Tomorrow (thursday) it’s a holiday here, meaning no class (no work).
The Lover and I are going to drive to his parents for the days. Thursday till Sunday. On Sunday we’re going to visit my parents then, because a friend of the family is visiting from the States.

I felt kind of, how do you say, “emo”? the last few days. I hope it’s because I was PMS-ing. I have thoughts I don’t want to have and they just don’t seem to go away and it’s so hard to force them to stay away.

What do you do when you feel down, when you could just cry all day, what do you do to cheer yourself up?
