Mistress Darkness

Wow how fast time passes. There is so much I wanted to do besides you know studying - but somehow with the flu and catching up I ended doing almost nothing. I guess I just need to focus for the remaining days.

I need to search for literature for my history term paper for my home university, I need to finish the final Essay for the Austen course, I need to work through the Foundation of Grammar terms to be able to write the test in week 10 and I also have a final exercise to hand in. Then one last assignment for Semantics in Week 10.

However, I want to work a bit on fanlistings and Maratofel as well. I guess, I go by a this for that system. For every real work I do, I do a bit of fun stuff.

Today, I start with cleaning up the place a bit, bringing away bottles to the recyling container, wash my laundry and also type up a few things, so I do not need to bring the papers back with me.

Well, I know I could have started working on this earlier and not spend so much time playing Civilization or working on my fanfiction and webstuff. However, I am not complaining about the assignment. Tastk 2 is actually something I can do very well and Task 1 should be managable.

As I have to print the out tomorrow at the IT centre - I thought I might book my flight with ryanair and print out my boarding pass (yes, I long to be home for soooo many reasons). What did I realise? For only 35 Euros or Pound (not sure which) I can take along a second piece of luggage with additional 15 kgs! Wow, so I guess I see how many cool stuff I get in the next two week and then I book my flight accordingly. That is too awesome and too cheap to ignore!

I just wonder if I will get any problem with the tax although I am not sure how that works for second hand books. But it uplifted me a bit in spirits. Sarah, the girl who lives opposite from me and also goes to my home uni in Germany, feels just like I do. We have to be here, the semester abroad is a must not a choice, we talk way too much German all around and we count the days till this experience although not regarded as a bad one by either of us is over.

Which reminds me 44 days left. In 44 days at this hour I will lie in my awesome bed which is not too soft, not too hard, has no feather sticking out, is not lumpy, does have really soft covers, with an inviting pillow that is not flat and constantly falls into the space between matress and headboard.

If not for the time pressure regarding the work load and assignment, the dumb cold that prevents me from going to the gym to exercise I would actually be rather content. I guess the latter bothers me the most. As I feel drawn to my super awesome ice-cream. NOw I will finish task 2 of my assignment and then make another layout for maratofel.net on which I worked way too long today already.

I handed in my essay and the paper on time - I think the essay even turned out rather good.

Sunday I am going to meet Tersha, and tomorrow I am going to relax.

Monday I have to drive my parents to the airport and then I have to take care of the dog. Not to bad, gives me are more relaxed enviroment to manage my time in between working on what I want to - fanstuff and what I do not want to - my history term paper.

I think I conclude the evening by extensively playing Torment, one of the most awesome computer games ever made!

idolizer I miss you! Hope you have a good time, but I will be glad when you are back and online. I guess now I know how it is when I abstain from posting for longer. Internet presence is not just a term - you actually feel it if a person is online regularly.

We got the results of the exam last week and I passed. Now I just need to focus on the other exam regarding the medieval seminar. Still lots of stuff to do and read, worst of all is the damn paper I now I really need to work on, I have to hand it in on the 30th May and I can not fail.

Means I really have to get my shit together and not let myself be distracted too much with fanstuff, just a little bit to keep going. If I do not do anything fannish at all, I wither and die mentally.

Spend the last 12 hours working on Eternal Hunger - My Roxula / Immortal companions fansite. Mostly worked on the time line of events, but also some quotes and graphics ... Most time I lost trying to make sense of the plot holes. I swear Summers did not waste one second thinking about the timeline of this movie - alone saying that the Valerious family had only nine generations including Valerious the Elder till Anna - ridiculous. I think 15-17 is more reallistic.

Anyway - you will see what I mean when I'm done. But now I got to go to bed. I'm yawing and I have a difficult time concentrating on what I'm doing.

I just hope my notebook doesn't break down. When I woke up 16 hours ago, I tried to turn it on and got weird error messages until finally Windows started again. Bleh.

I did my shopping, I got only one duty left to do in the cold, but that will have to wait till daytime. Then I intend to stay inside where it is warm and cozy.

I got a huge list of stuff I like to do, but feel somewhat unmotivated to start.

Uni-Stuff would include:

• the take-home-exam and some re-reading for it


• some work on the british social history text sheets


• presentation for british social history


• some reading/practice for linguistics, including the homework


• some reading for paedagogics


• grammar terminology pack

Fan-stuff would be:

• buttons for neglected fanlistings


• icons (more boondock saints, van helsing and lost boys)


• wallpapers (at least some more)


• new layouts (my journal, my icon comm, lost boys fanpage, forbidden fruits)


• finish the dororo fanlisting


• apply for more fls next year


• lots and lots of writing

Household-stuff sums up as follows:

• lots of laundry


• general kitchen overhaul


• some cooking and freezing of the rests


• bedroom/cloth sorting/repairing


• rabbit habitat scrub out


• sorting through papers


• probably things I am not think about right now
