Update Finally
I have to wait for my train and figured, I might as well be using the internet here to write a short blog about all the things that have been going on lately.
I listened to the health presentations at church and one of them was dealing with relationships. There is one crucial thing to remember which I found very important to think of in any situation! You cannot change your partner, only yourself! Many times, when you don't like a situation, YOU have to start rethinking in order for the situation to get better. I know it is not easy to do so, especially, when you think you are right, or what is even worse, you have the right to act and react the way you do. But think about the positive effect on any relationship, when you make up your mind first and tolerate and respect the other side. I thought I had to share this with you.
There is a study saying that love consists of 5 different languages. Unfortunately I don't remember all of them. What I do remember is:
1st Lob and Anerkennung (look them up in a dictionary, there is no time for me to do so right now)
2nd affection
3rd gifts
4th time
and the fifth I can't remember. I think this is interesting, because I would say any language works for me but the thesis says, that one language is the best for each individual and we have to find out what kind of language the other party (friends, boy and girlfriends, family members, etc.) speaks in order to show our love to them.
Ok this should be it for right now on this topic. Things in college are going all right. I bought a book for Bio today which cost 80€. This is a lot of money, but this book will last me all my life. I hope I don't have to buy that many other books.
English is fun. I think I have a good understanding of the meaning of words, but in translation I am horrible. I have to start learning vocabs in the good ol' manner with my beloved flash cards. There are so many other things I am concerned with at the moment though. Energy, telephone, internet, house stuff (e.g. broom, detergents, towels,....)
Time is up, my train will soon arrive and I have to leave now :D

This church presentation sounds very interesting and similar to a sermon I once heard on TV given by a televangelist. I was just flipping channels and stopped. The message was similar: Don't expect or try to change others in your relationships. Look at yourself and make positive changes in your life. It makes sense and is... logical ;) Thanks for sharing and reminding me of this. Maybe we can talk more about it and the languages of love another day.
