gothikmausBefore I start rambling, here are two little videos I took in the hostel in Cologne and on the train to Frankfurt. Starring Nicole, Chris and me.
Only the best hotels for Ärzte fans on tour
Ärzte fans make the Deutsche Bahn richer
Thank God the week is over. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were a nightmare, I couldn't understand a thing at work, I spent hours just looking at screens and screens of code (think Matrix), trying to figure out what the hell I should do and failing miserably. I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown on Wednesday, at one point I went to the toilet and started wheezing and shaking, I was afraid I would break down and cry, but luckily I didn't. That night I went out for a drink with my colleagues, I was tempted to just go back to the hotel because I really wasn't in the mood for going out, but in the end I went, I didn't want to spend another evening alone at the hotel. And then yesterday things finally started to get going. I didn't know how to fix the problem simply because it couldn't be fixed! We need to change a part of the standard code that usually doesn't have to be changed, but we explained our problem to some super-expert and he told us to change it. So the problem wasn't my incompetence in the end, the solution proposed by the super-expert is identical to the one Ihad proposed. Duh.
Anyway, I had the interview at university today and, even if I'll have to wait till next Friday for the official results, they told us that they're probably going to accept all of us (there were about 25 people at the interview.) I'm SO relieved! I guess my almost-breakdown was caused by all the pent up stress related to both work and university and now that things are (hopefully) clearing up, I feel much better.
I also did a bit of shopping today and bought the most adorable skirt ever!
It's not really the most flattering model, but it's just so pretty, as soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it. They only had 2 left and one of them was my size! That's fate!
Ad just for the hell of it, a photo of my adorable fur ball. His name is Spillo and he's a bastard, but how can you resist those eyes?
And I've got drabbles to post! But I'll do it tomorrow, I think I'll just collapse in bed now.
