Tuesday and All Saints

Today I went to school early in the morning. I was supposed to meet up with a friend at the Zoocafe in the University. She didn’t show up until much later therefore I got all my internet stuff done. This was a very good thing. I am glad I had time for it. When she finally showed up, we went over some Chemistry stuff. We didn’t really have a clue but it helped doing it together. Then we had to go to our next Vorlesung. Unfortunately we didn’t know that it was cancelled. For some reason practically everybody else except for us knew it. So we were sitting around until 10 minutes past the beginning of the regular lesson and then we got up and went to a Café to go over some more chemistry. Basically our first lecture was at 1 pm. This was so stupid because I got up at 7:30 in the morning to do my exercise and man I am so sore! I can hardly lift my bag and violin which I had to carry along for the orchestra after going home.
English was fun. We went over some grammar stuff (and I didn’t get all of them right, but I think I understood the concept) They give you the hardest sentences to check on you. After English I went home to “eat” but I had already eaten lunch during my “break” and therefore I only ate a little bit of salad when I got home. After having finished eating I went upstairs to take a nap. The next thing was practicing my violin. It was so much fun and I think I got a little better since this past weekend because I played along with the recording. It is interesting how much such a play along actually helps. My grandma got home just before 6 pm and I had to leave, I thought. Stupid me! I had another hour but since rehearsal started at 7 last time I went, I didn’t realize that I was an hour early until almost at Freiburg. I had so much time left that I decided to go to the University to check my email another time and write some more.
It was so weird writing this part of the text because there was a homeless person sitting next to me and even moving closer to check what I write (I originally worked on some poems but I was embarrassed to continue so I switched to my blog text since I was sure he couldn’t understand)
Yesterday my grandma and I wanted to go biking but the weather forecast was predicting rain and therefore we decided to go for a walk instead. I think we were outside for 1.5 hours and it felt great. The rest of the day was filled with pictures, violin and eating. Practicing was so much fun. I went over my favorite songs and after almost two hours I started with my orchestra music and that was no fun anymore. It doesn’t sound very good with just a Violin II. It has to be done no matter what and I know I wouldn’t feel comfortable during the next rehearsal if I don’t try to do my best in preparing at home. At night we walked for another half hour. Unfortunately I had my black shoes on with some socks that weren’t high enough and now my skin is rubbed off where the shoe’s rim was. I discovered today that there is a lot of additional fat accumulating in the area of my belly of which I could get rid of but still I won’t do any diet just sports. If it disappears I will be happy if not I’ll live with it :) Today is the first day that is really cold and I noticed the missing heat in my room. I only did 10 minutes of my regular work out. The floor was so cold that I couldn’t get warm. Maybe I should start wearing thicker pjs.
It is incredible how fast time goes by. We are almost at the end of another week and now I should definitely study much more than I have been (Yesterday I wanted to learn how to knit but the pics got in my way. There were still pics from my stay in the US that I hadn’t worked on but now I am finally done)

Anna Theresa sent me a nice saying of Winston Churchill which I want to pass on to you:

You will make all kinds of mistakes;
But as long as you are generous and true, and also fierce,
You cannot hurt the world or even seriously distress her.
She was made to be wooed and won by youth.
