Thesis finished! No student anymore!

Sorry for being so absent these days!!! I even missed my blog anniversary.
No camera, no light, moving in a new apartment, and yet a lot to do for my exam next January!
Thanks for all your reading this out there, I am really thankful for this!

So the second semester of my M.A. program is over. It is the second of three. It was a semester full of frustration
and a lack of satisfaction. I imagined it to be not like that. But you have to go through, even it will be just for
the degree. Sad, but that's it. The last semester will be about writing the thesis and create a visual project out of
it. It is incredible how time flies by, I have the feeling I can hardly handle it.

7 things.

1 week, 2 cities. Our project here.

We met so many nice and inspiring people who were so kind to let us peek in their little rooms and studios full
of inspiration!

Lots of swedish candy.

Theres a huge definition lack between swedish hostels and german ones. I prefer the swedish.

Bullar & coffee make a perfect breakfast.

Enjoyed the sun and bavarian beer.

My favourite song lately.

Lovely little package from wonderful Sewon waiting for me! She sent me some chive seeds, I will sow later today! Thank you so much, can't wait for warmer days to see all my sowings grow!

On Saturday night we're off to Stockholm for 3 days going on to another 3 days Munich! See you after this week
full of inspiration of creative people!

Since our 2nd Valentine's Day I get a Cacti or a Succulent every year. First one 2011, hairy one 2012.

Thanks for all your wonderful relaxation tips! I tried some yet. I think a big reason was the interview yesterday,
that kept me in a stressy mood. Although I would never admit that to myself. It all turned out well, there's a new
focus now, I can work on.

7 things.

1_ Every week someone lovely is spoiling me with a snail-mail surprise! This time it was Vibeke and she sent me
the most beautiful things: wonderful soft wrist warmers, some lovely fabric, napkins and most intersting of all:
Blooming Tea Balls! I've never seen them before here in Germany and I am soso curious to see them blooming in
hot water! But I'll keep them for a very special moment, they are something precious! Have some of you ever tried
these balls?

2_ First semester came to an end, very stressful but also productive.

3_ Spent a funny evening with my class mates.

4_ Next day we had a cute little breakfast with some homemade Chai Latte! I love Chai! What is your favourite
kind of tea?

5_ This is post N° 200.

6_ Met one of my best friends for her incredible Apfelstrudel! (This week seems to be just about food & tea)

7_ No, there's a break on my studies for a few weeks I'am looking forward to answer all the lovely packages I got
lately!

7 things.

Started a Photo Project to use my analogue cameras more often.

Finally finished a project for my studies. Felt strange, because I felt drowning in work the last weeks. To see the
end of it feels strange, I can't help.

My car is broken again. I don't care, I go by train all the time either.

Strangest weather ever. Storm, lightning, rain and sunshine at Sunday finally.

Saw "Car Culture". And a lot more, this is my favourite. It's from Jin Shi, a Chinese artist.

First semester of three is almost finished.

Keep my fingers crossed for my boy next week!

7 things.

 Met a lovely lady with her dog Zac at the train. Hope they are fine.

Looking through really old vintage photos with my aunt to get back to our very roots.

Got a huge package of the most wonderful smelling teas from lovely Viktoria!

Read a really beautiful novel written by Haruki Murakami.

Last year this time was a lot of snow. It is so warm now, my Magnolia starts to sprout again.

You know Jessica's blog already? I really love to sneak through her pictures when I am stressed.

Still working on this, but there is some time left to finish, no need to hurry for me!

7 things.

Met a lovely friend of mine. She's living in Hamburg right now, so we don't see each other so often anymore.

Made myself two new necklaces.

Lot of reading.

Went for brunch with another friend from Hamburg, we haven't seen for years!

Baked some apple & peanutbutter muffins.

Got addicted to apple & peanutbutter. Such a great combination!

Can't wait for this calendar!

Designblast 2011.

More information here. The speech of TROIKA was so impressing!

I really need your help for a part of my Master thesis:
My theme is about the whole Magazineculture, including fanzines, self-publishing & blogging.
One part is the new way of writing a diary or reflecting about oneself.
So I would like to ask you some questions:

Why do you blog?
If it is a kind of diary for you, why do you choose this media instead of the common, even though it's public too?

If it's possible I would also ask for a picture that represents you or the answer.
Maybe a routine thing while blogging like a cup of your favourite tea, the place you always do it, something that
represents you and the blog. Or just a picture of you. You can send the answers (& the photo) here.

I am aware of the fact that this is a delicate thing and a lot can't be that open to foreigners. I really appreciate that.
For those who might join, be sure I will handle your answers and pictures with total care! Hoping for some answers,
I wish you all a lovely week!

Autumn is mushroom time. I ate a lot this week.

Decided to reject television.

So I found some time to be creative again.

And to bake a cake. Unfortunately it was eaten immediately, so there are no pics.

New lovely books about grafic design & zineculture. Looking forward to sneek through..

Visited a vernissage. And they snapshot me. But not too bad to be on slanted.de!

The weekend was really stressful. So it should not. We need to get a plan to calm down.

7 things.

Is it really Sunday again? Time is running so fast...

Went to the awesome Kienholz exhibition this week! Do you know their work?

The swiss fondue was delicious! But I decided to drink a white wine along, no tea.
We spent a wonderful evening with some colleques and some visitors from Australia! Now I am really thinking
about living in another country someday, Australia would be wonderful I think! Does anybody of you live/lived
away from home for a several time or still does?

Yesterday we went to Jupiter Jones, it was great! It was the 3rd time we saw them play and it's always different!

They was also a fabulous new band playing: "My Glorious" from Vienna!

Moving is finally done! F I N A L L Y! For this year...
(We're living with my boy's parents now when I am not at my student's appartement. I am feeling like a nomade
right now, always flipping araound.)

Next week there is a holiday and I will have a few days off.
I really need some time to think about and get some inspiration.

It's raining since two days & my literature list is becoming longer and longer.
Good time to enjoy some tea.

7 things.

3 posts this week! I am rising again!

Got a cold.

Slept a lot.

Enjoyed some evening walks with the dog visiting some animal friends.

Collected some seeds for next year.

Wanted to visit this event, but it was sold out. Bah. But I am curious what others will tell.

Coffee & sun.

Homesick.

Finally got the account for using the internet here at the new school.
Last week was pretty heavy, but now we can work on our own most of the week.
I really like working my own schedule.

I never lived in a city before. It's so noisy. I miss the countryside.
But home is not that far & I will go there in a few hours to spend my weekend there.

Sorry again for being such a bad blogger lately, but there was so much going on last week:

I met a lot of new, interesting and (so far) lovely people!

Our first project was to organize dinner for all of us was hectic, chaotic but exciting.

Friday we spent the whole day at the MMK.

And I saw Ai Wei Wei's and Serge Spitzer's installation "Ghost Gu coming down the Mountain"!

We went to the farmers market & ate our first chanterelles for this season. They were so good and finished immediately,
I couldn't even take a picture of them to show you!

I love pomegranate & figs!

I am not ready for winter yet, I hate freezing.

Automne.

Autumn is here finally. Feels like we've skipped summer. I wish I would have more time, to do my favourite things,
riding my bike or go for a long walk. Havn't done that for weeks. But there is so much going on right now. It is
almost three weeks when I will move into my student's appartement and start my Master degree in a new town.
I promise I will be a better blogger then. Some double exposure I did a year ago - or is it two yet? Time is
running so fast...

Lucky girl I am.

First I wanted to thank you all for your lovely wishes and your congratulations on my B.A. thesis! They mean the
world to me, so many thanks to all of you!

And tody I received the answer from my interview on Monday. And it's positive, they want me for their M.A.!
I am so happy, you can't imagine!
