Installing Finished

Today my day started off kind of lazy again. When I woke up I started my computer finished all my emails...

Then I watched a movie and in the meantime I installed a burning program and I finally installed my printer as well. So now I am all up to date. After that I tried to fix my launch cast station, because it started having an error and I don't know what is wrong. I just can't fix it. I tried so many things. I gave up. This error is not even a known error. The message that comes up is.

"Sorry, there was an unknown error
Error 0-8"
or something similar to that. It really got on my nerves. So I checked the station of my sister and it was all right :( which means, it is not my laptop but my account. Oh well, I can live without that.

Within me watching my first movie my brother told me that I have to bring him to Hagebaumarkt, because the machines he wanted to work with this morning were finally out of order therefore we had to buy new ones. So I took him there and we bought a really cool new machine. This machine has two parts, one for the corners and one for bigger areas. So it is a two in one machine and it wasn't even that expensive. Otherwise we would have had to buy two new machines. So we saved some money. I love saving money.

After I came home, I got into my sad mood. I was still not able to figure out why this happens. To make me feel better I decided to go and practice a little bit violin. The funny and good thing was that it really did make me feel better. I loved it so much today. One and a half hours were over without me even noticing. Then I went upstairs to do some math. I haven't done a lot today, I should have done more, I know. "All" I did, was 6 pages written. But it was only three pages of my book. I still have a lot to go. I don't think I will ever finish, if I continue at that pace. So that means I have to do 13 pages tomorrow. That is more than 4 times as much as today and I did 3,5 hours of math today.

When I look at all those numbers I have to say, that maybe my day wasn't all that lazy. I hope I have some great math news tomorrow. I just have to stick to it always remembering what I do it for. It is really hard for me, because I want some fun during my vacations as well. This is why I watch movies, but I always think bad of myself if I do. Isn't that so retarded. I want freetime, and when I take myself some time off, then I feel bad about doing it. I am so messed up.
I ate very little today. I had a very small bowl of cereal this morning, actually this noon. It was already 12 something. And for dinner I had just one slice of bread. That was all I ate today. So I will cook something tomorrow.

My mom and Tabea left to see my grandmother and help her with her house chores, because she fell and broke her wrist and now it is hard for her to do her work. I decided to stay home, but actually I am wondering, if I wouldn't have done more, if I would have went. Oh well, it is too late. Next time I will probably go. Marion went to her friend. She left yesterday morning and will also return tomorrow. So all that is left of our family is my brother and my dad (if he isn't out for work) It is very nice, because it is calm and now one yells, screams or cries anymore.
That is pretty much everything I did today. I will now continue with my bible reading and then I will go to sleep.

Addition to Lazy Day :)

This day will be an absolute lazy day. I watched about three movies, while cleaning up my room, working on my laptop, eating breakfast,... it was really cool and I enjoy having two screens. This is just awesome.

I got to talk to Mathuel online today. It was really nice. I haven't done that in a really long time. Man, I still have another year ahead of me before I will graduate. Isn't that annoying??? I am so sick of school and all of that stress and trouble. I guess I will be really relieved when I finished the next year and of course I will try to be good and work as hard as I can.

I fear I won't stick to my priorities. I hope I can do everything the way I actually want it and not care so much about my grades. What are grades compared to eternal life?? But I know that once I start school again priorities get messed up because they are so longterm but test are coming up very quickly and you have immediate consequences. In my opinion this should be included in every-day prayer. Maybe you can also pray for me so that I stick to it.

Something really cool I read today in my bible's annotations is the following. It will only be a part of the text, but I thought it was really great:

People often compared Leah and Rachel, judging the two sisters by what they were on the outside. Not God. He never asks us to compare ourselves with any other person. In fact, it is a slap in God's face to look at someon else and say, "I wish I were more like her." Why? Because God tenderly and uniquely designed you just the way He wanted you to be. He made you for Himself. He made you in a way that can never be duplicated. When you begin to compare yourself with another person, you are saying, "God, You made a mistake. You failed. You could have done a better job creating me." None of us has the privilege of critizing God. He is the Creator who looks at each of His created beings and says to Himself, "It is good." Get to the place where you hold a high opinion of yourself based on the fact that God made you exactly, precisely, intricately, wondrously, and uniquely the way you are. You are a one-of-a-kind creation for which there is no comparison!

I really like this. I think this is something that should always be remembered.

lazy day :)

I got shocked this morning. I tried to start my laptop and it didn't work out :( I didn't know what to do so I called my dad. He couldn't help me either. The last thing left was to call the hotline. I felt so intimidated, because I just had my laptop since yesterday. Before I called I decided to take of all the extra things I plugged in and all the sudden it started. YAY.
So now I have to figure out which one it is that freezes my laptop. I feel so dumb that I haven't figured that out before.
You know what? I really like the keyboard of a laptop. I think I can type faster with it than with the regular keyboard, for whatever reason. Are you the same way?

What chapter are you at? I had some interesting thoughts over some of them and I took them down so that we can discuss them once you get there. Maybe you already had them yourself. I am eager to also hear what your thoughts were.

new laptop

Today was my big day!!! I got my new laptop. Man, I like it a lot. But let me tell you one thing after the other and not mess the chronological order up!
I woke up this morning and I prayed. Afterwards I decided to go to sleep once again, since I was still so tired. I think I slept until 9 am. That would mean I slept just about 8 hours which is enough. I continued my day with getting dressed and starting my "beloved" math. I think that I will finish my math in time, because it is only 70 pages total. I thought it was much more so I am glad to be able to tell you the good news. Today it was about 4 hours of math on and off. Around 11 am the doorbell rang and I knoew no-one was around therefore I ran downstairs to open the door. It was my new laptop. The next thing I did was bringing it to my dad. He needed to secure some of the initial settings, so it took him quite a while. This is why I said I did math on and off. I went downstairs several times to check if my laptop was ready yet for me to use it.
Just before noon my sister asked me if I could bring her to Sulz because she needs to create a bank account. She will take on a job which consists of going for a walk with a dog every single day. She doesn't even know how much she will get for it, but she doesn't care since it counts towards her half year of caring for a pet so that she can get her own pet. Funny right? So we went to the bank but since she is still minor we needed the signature of both of our parents. Therefore it didn't work out today. Since we were already in Sulz she also returned some books and, of course, got new ones. Therefore our little trip was at least worth it.
Around 5 pm I made dinner for my family since my mom went to look at different cupboards for our living room and my sister Tabea went along to look at some beds. I haven't heard if she found one or not. My mom took pictures of all the interesting and nice furniture she saw, but apparently (is that how you spell it?) the pictures didn't come out too great.
Now I am finally done with changing my room so that my laptop fits and I will take some pictures soon once my room is a little cleaner.
I really like having two screens. I think my dad is also envying me a tiny bit, not really, but a little bit, because he has never owned a laptop himself.
I did a lot of math today. :( it was not hard but it took long. I am glad that it is going though.
I guess that is all for today. :)
Till later...

Last day of work

Today was a kind of hard day. I started working at 6:15 almost like I wanted to. I like working in the morning. It is very relaxed and therefore enjoyable. I was surprised how quite and nice it was. Time went by extremely fast. As did practically the rest of the day as well. My knees still hurt on and off and I haven't figured out yet, what it is that makes them hurt.
When I came home for lunch I was very hungry because I didn't eat that much in the morning and I was up since 5 am to get ready for work. We had some really good food and I went off again to work for the last hour this summer :( I actually asked if I could work for longer but they already had enough workers which wasn't very surprising. The good thing is that they told me I can apply every single vacation and that they liked the work I did. That is very good for me, I tried really hard as you know. Sometimes I was tired but I always tried to meet the time. Sometimes I did, others I didn't.
I talked to a lot of people today since it was my last day. I said bye to everyone I saw when I left for lunch, because most people didn't come to work in the afternoon since that wasn't regular working time.
The next two weeks will be tough for me since I have to do math and English. I finished my German novel today. Overall, I would say that I liked it a lot. Especially towards the end. I wonder how long I will still feel the same way. Maybe it will get even more interesting through interpreting it but you never know. So that was 350 pages of reading that had to be done. I started reading the book 'Death of a Salesman' but haven't advanced a lot in it. I think the reason I do English first is, because I don't want to get started on math. Don't worry, I will soon start, since I see the necessity on doing it. I want to have a chance to get a good grade next year and especially in the abitur, which counts as much as the previous three semesters. Funny, right? IF I get to it, I will also do some French, but I doubt that there will be enough time during those two weeks.
By the way, I am not expecting you to write me anything. I know you are extremely busy right now.
Oh, my sister had some friends over for her late B-Day party. They chatted and talked and did whatever. My mom made a cake and two of them left early one stayed a little longer, she is actually still here. We had Raclette for dinner. We had it outside so that it won't smell tomorrow :) That was smart of my mom.
Tomorrow we are asked to play something in church so we still have to decide on something. I am now the music coordinator for 5 Euros/year. Isn't that funny. I have to pick the music every time something has to be played and therefore everyone has to pay 1 Euro (including myself). That leaves me with 4 Euros per year. This is more than a joke, but I think I feel more responsible if I get money for the job even though it isn't much. So now my family and I will decide on something. Bye.

Work

Today was a very good day as far as work goes. A lot of funny and enjoyable things happened. For example, I got to talk to some people and they were all very nice to me. I think they start accepting me since I try very hard to understand all the machines so that I am able to change things for a different working order myself. This makes me feel better and doesn't bother anybody else!!
Then in the afternoon I switched into another section where I could learn lots of new things. I am always eager to be able to do more, since that might help me to get hired again. So I learned how to use two more machines. yayay! I could only work until 5:30 once again. This is very sad. I think for that reason I will start working at 6 tomorrow to make up at least for one hour. I hope this will work out. I still have some work left over that I know how to change and stuff. And I say to myself, if I start working at 6 no one can take away this hour. I don't know if they will let me work in the afternoon even though I am still missing some hours.
Hopefully you will let me know what is going on with you by next week. I know that this week is extremely stressful for you, therefore I don't expect any comments but it would have been nice to just hear a 'Hello I am stressed' :).
There aren't any other news besides work, you know. But that will probably change by next week. Oh, by the way, I will ask if I can work another week, even though it is unlikely. I need all the money I can get. :)
I will now continue reading my novel for German so that I will have that finished by next week. Luckily I am more than half way done already due to lunch and the 15 minute breaks at work.
I hope that I can really concentrate on math and music for the last two weeks. I haven't decided if I want to concentrate on English as well, even though I should. But I doubt that I can finish everything in time. Two weeks are over extremely fast! I will definitely let you know how it goes though.

News

Today I couldn't work the ten hours I wanted to. They were short of work therefore I had to stop one hour early :( This means I have to go to work on Friday afternoon. I hope this will work out tomorrow though, but as of right now it doesn't look like it. Oh well, if I lose some hours then so be it.
I forgot to tell you some great news. I think you will be very happy over it. Well, my dad tried to fix my computer on Tuesday. It took him practically all day and in the evening, after I got home from work, he told me that my computer is now definitely irreparable :( He continued telling me that I should buy myself a new one. He said if you take an older one you will get one for 200 to 300 Euros, but I thought that was two much money I need to spend for just an old computer. For that reason I decided to buy myself a laptop since I have to spend the money anyway and I need one when I go to college, too. So last night we looked at laptops in the internet and we found a really good one as it seems:
It is a Fujitsu Siemens with, I guess, regular features. The bad thing is that it costs money:) duh. I have to find some work over spring and pentecost vacation or else I will have a big money problem. We will see how it goes. I will be really happy to own a laptop though and I hope that I won't ruin it so fast. It should last me at least for half of the time I will spend in college.
As soon as you get a chance, let me know what is going on with school and everything :)

Departure

Hello Priscilla,
I just got home from work. Today I even got some blisters!! They don't hurt too much though, which is good I guess. I didn't get to work until 6:30. I could only work until 6 because then everybody left today. That means I have to work 10 hours tomorrow as well as on Thursday. I think I will be allright if I get enough sleep tonight. I will make sure to go to sleep early:)
My dad is fixing my computer. I hope he can do something about it. I get really annoyed with it. I wonder how you are doing flying over the Atlantic ocean :)
Once my dad fixed my computer i hope that i can put up some pictures here as well. Maybe this is going to work out.
I am definitely glad that we started this whole blogger thing. This is an awesome idea to keep track of each other's schedule as well as everything else. When you read all of this, I hope that you had enough sleep already. I know todays journey is tough and I also know how I felt! On top of that you won't even have time to adapt to the 6 hours time difference since you have to go to college right away.
By the way, I wish you the best for your class taking. I hope that the people in charge can do something about it. They just have to!!!
This is giong to be all for just now. I basically wanted to try out if blogger works. If you respond by the end of this week I know it works :)
