Exactly 365 days ago...

... it was the beginning of a journey to Germany. A journey to see my family again after almost 3 years. A journey to see my little brother getting married. A journey to celebrate the reunion of old friends.

We celebrated weddings, birthdays on long hot summer nights. Wie die Zeit vergeht....

Flashbacks

I have been thinking about my time at uni a lot recently and that's when I found T.S. Eliot's Selected Poems in a box at a friends house. I analysed "The Waste Land" and "The Hollow Men" in my Master thesis and I have to say it's a completely different experience reading these two poems now 5 years later. I can't really describe the feeling, I can only say that it feels good. It gives me hope reading them, although they are amongst the darkest and depressing literature I can think of. It makes me feel proud because they stand for 130 pages, a Master thesis, 6 months of my life, and there is no better expression for it than "blood, sweat and (a lot of) tears".

I have done it. I wrote all of it. I have accomplished something that seemed impossible to me at the time but I have mastered it so to say.
I think of my friends who were there for me, proof reading, mentally supporting me in any way possible - from talking things through over and over again to getting me away from my desk to party all night when it was necessary (or when we thought it was necessary).
I think of my family. My rock. The most beautiful people in my life. And I hope I made them proud as well because they have always supported me in ways no one else does and no one else could have. My gratitude to have them as my family is beyond words.

Happy New Year!!

Hello everyone!!

Tut mir leid, dass ich mich so spät oder früh (wie mans nimmt) melde - ich hoffe ihr habt alle gut reingefeiert und hattet Spaß!!
Weihnachten war suuuper schönes Wetter hier in Sydney bzw. in Bowral auf der Farm. Dann lag ich fast ne Woche auf der Couch und war krank... das war nicht so toll, aber zum Glück war ich rechtzeitig zu Silvester wieder fit und wir haben in Pyrmont aufm Balkon mit Blick auf die Harbour Bridge gefeiert!! Yeaaah baby!!

Am 1. und 2. Januar wars suuuper heiss, waren Samstags schwimmen und Sonntags im MCA in der Annie Leibovitz Ausstellung und danach lecker Essen in the Rocks! Yuuum!!
Danach wieder fast ne Woche auf der Couch verbracht mit ganz tollem Essen und Dvds und täglichen Spaziergängen in Darling Harbour und Pyrmont.

Gestern hab ich mich mit DJ Garth getroffen und wir sind in die Art Gallery zu den Chinese Warriors und danach ein Weinchen trinken in the Domain. Auf dem Heimweg bin ich dann leider so richtig ins Gewitter geraten und war gut nass, als ich heimgekommen bin... well, Sydney summer I guess. Morgen solls wieder heiss werden - hoffen wirs beste : )

Ich wünsch euch alles Gute für 2011 - let's rock it!!!
