This is my weekly recap. This time a tiny bit (haha) different from the last weeks (months). This week was ful of crazy and amazing stuff and it was impossible to fit it into such a short recap.
Here's a (weird) text about my last week. I hope you enjoy it and I'm proud of you if you make it all way through it ;)
This week was amazingly amazing and at some points awful as well. It all started on a lovely sunday (which wasn't lovely at all) with a train ride from my hometown to Vienna. During this train ride I read about 50 pages of a book I liked and disliked the same time and learned a lot about wedding traditions and usages and decided for the hundreds time in my life, that I want to have a wedding without all this annoying usages one day. It ended with a burger, the start of a week without cooking even though every day I thought "I have to cook today." But my permanent thought was "Tomorrow I'll go and get a new hair cut" and there was no such tomorrow.
Monday was terrible as always (but now I know: next Monday will be awesome!), but it was the day when I watched a video on Youtube which made me happy, because it told me that I'm going to see my favourite YouTube vlogger (who is also a writer) on Monday, which means that I skip a class on monday to go to this gathering/reading/signing thing, but shhh! don't tell anybody.
Tuesday was a day of a good Swedish vocabulary test and a big smile on my face. Nevertheless the day turned into darkness and boredom while watching a more than 2 hours long, Russian movie just with German subtitles. I didn't understand anything, not because I don't speak Russian, it was the fact that all the happenings in the movie didn't make any sense. But I watched it at an university "party" (we are forced to call it this way, the snacks were the only party-ish things), so it has to be a good movie.
Wednesday, a day where I wrote the funniest Dutch homework ever and put on nailpolish for the first time in my life (believe it or not). Wednesday had a terrible ending which led to a terrible Thursday when I didn't get out of bed on time (6 a.m.), instead I slept till I woke up (11.30), which means that I missed a class at university, but I didn't care. Instead I ate breakfast (about lunchtime) and headed over to university to my Swedish class where I was first dissatisfied with the mark I got on my test (still I am), but then the whole lesson turned into a beautiful, disharmonious humming, which should have been 50 people who actually are not able to talk three sentences in Swedish without "um" and stuttering, singing Swedish christmas songs. But still we were all happy, because it reminds me and definitely many others of Bullerbü or any other Astrid Lindgren book/movie. After that the lesson turned into completely awesomeness when a Swedish exchange student told us in his charming way that väckarklockan ringa (alarm clock) at 10 a.m.
After Swedish I went to the big christmas market of Vienna for the first time this year (and the first time after many years) and couldn't decide what to eat first. I ended it up with delicious langos and an apple covered with dark chocolate. Finally I found the perfect birthday present for one of my very best friends (whose birthday was back in September) and learned a day later the way to play a kazoo, which is sheer amazing.
Thursday never really ended. Everything I did turned into something else, but all in all I spent too much money.
The night was first a movie, then a horror of Nederlands and then a horror of horror, because I couldn't get any sleep.
Monday was terrible as always (but now I know: next Monday will be awesome!), but it was the day when I watched a video on Youtube which made me happy, because it told me that I'm going to see my favourite YouTube vlogger (who is also a writer) on Monday, which means that I skip a class on monday to go to this gathering/reading/signing thing, but shhh! don't tell anybody.

I fell asleep early in the morning and got up 2 hours later to get ready for today.
Today was a day full of books and publishers and publishers and books, also known as book fair Vienna 2010. We didn't missed anything while wasting our time by searching the source of Narnia bags, but for sure we missed a class at university. But who cares? Older students teached us that classes are overrated.
The day turned into an awful rainy day, a tour through 7 different book stores and a big smile on my face.
I'm in bed now, still smiling, but tired, tired, tired.
It was an up and down with many twists and one of the best weeks in a long time.
Have a wonderful weekend! :)
And thank you for reading this.
Awesome! So what I'm doing is just having people write their articles then e-mailing it to me along with any pictures they want to go with the post. We'll then choose a date that the post will go up. You can write on anything you want regarding Christmas... so, yeah, you've got free range :D Can't wait to read it!
ReplyDeleteI read it all the way through! It was very interesting, Antonia. You had such a busy week!! Are you going to get a hair cut? ;) You might look cute with short hair! I have short hair and love it.
ReplyDeleteI am still waiting for my package. ;) I am hoping it will come on Monday; I am just beside myself trying to guess what it is!
Natalie: Sounds great! I have to get some ideas now :)
ReplyDeleteShaynie: No, I don't want to have short hair. I had quite short hair many years and now I want it long. And short hair also means that I have to go to the hair dresser more often, which is horrible for me. Going to get a new hair cut is one of my least favourite things to do ;)
And the woman at the post office said that shipping takes two weeks :(
