apologies are in order..

Hey, it’s me..nope, i haven’t fallen off the face of the earth!i’m drowning in work, have a ton of papers to hand in and exams coming up. clearly i have a reason for not posting anything in these couple of days. i’ve been doing some research at a firm in my home town and writing my dissertation paper. the research is for an essay i have to write and also a presentation i have to make for uni as my last practical experience ( it’s a requirement at university to gather practical knowledge in each year of my studies; the research paper will be part of the mark i get for my dissertation paper- no matter if i used information from the research in my dissertation paper or not). the research paper is due on the 28th of May ( an it has to be about 20 pg long) and the dissertation paper( 40 pg long) is due on the 28th of June..in the meantime i have to study for exams while still having to attend courses.. crazy month..

hope your having a better time than i am..enjoy the wonderful weather! :)

"All the books we own, both read and unread, are the fullest expression of self we have at our disposal. But with each passing year, and with each whimsical purchase, our libraries become more and more able to articulate who we are, whether we read the books or not."

"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen"

Graduation cupcakes..final countdown-there are officially 6 weeks left until graduation day/ the day of the presentation of my masters thesis..after the 8th of july i can no longer call myself a student, there will be no more reasons for me to avoid going to interviews/ having a full-time job..i suppose some would call it the beginning of my adult/ independent life..half dreading, half looking forward to it :)

faithful reproduction of my daily activities..read, write, drink some coffee and write some more..23 pages down, 20 more to go…why is a masters thesis supposed to be so damn long? soon enough i’ll be left with nothing to write about.. supposed to start translating the research part of my thesis which is a questionnaire.i gotta translate it because my thesis is supposed to be in German while the people i managed to convince to fill out the questionnaire have done it in Romanian.. translation is definitely Not one of my favorite things to do when it comes to writing papers for university..oh well, i need to force myself to sit down at the desk and start typing again- why again? because i took a one hour sleep-break to make up for having an early start this day- woke up at 5 am. this is what i have been up to lately..hopefully i’ll be done with the work soon and back to browsing through tumblr and reposting favorite pictures…i really miss it!
