Greek | Visit

Today we went to a Greek restaurant for lunch. (No, we are not one of those Germans who boycott the Greeks just because some Greeks do that with German goods on account of some Germans' reaction to their financial and political crises. :P)

Most Greek food includes meat, so there weren't too many vegetarian plates. I had some Feta, a salad and "caviar bread" au gratin with cheese and nice condiments. :)

Afterwards, we had family visit from my uncle with his wife and my three cousin(e)s (11, 12 and 15 year old).
I, my bro and two of my cousins decided to play Monopoly. I noticed that the game reveals a lot about somebody's real character. For example, my brother is a typical "Id"-Person (see Freud's "Id, ego and super-ego" theory to learn more about that, it's very interesting!) who gives plenty of rope to human or his own desires and instincts regardless to the disadvantages they may cause to others.
Therefore, at the beginning of the game, he tried to gain as many streets as possible in order to get rent from us.

...Anyway. On the long term, I would have probably won the game because I didn't spend too much money on buying streets. So, after a while, one of the others would have miscalculated their capital and be forced to sell his streets to me. :D However, we had to stop playing in the middle of the game because my cousins had to leave.


In the evening then, I went running. Running has become sort of a habit of mine over the past couple of weeks, and I'm getting better and better. :)

Apart from that, there isn't much to tell you about... Life is currently taking a calm pace, yielding a lot of leisure for me. :) (Remember, I already have spring break :D)
In the next two weeks, I'm going to start spring-cleaning in the garden like digging over and making bigger my two little fields, washing the bicycles and so on. :)

This is probably the last post on this blog. :P My next one, on Wednesday, will just be a link to my new blog (which is almost ready by now!).

When I have changed places, my uncreative phase will hopefully be over as well... I feel like it's time to blog about something else than my everyday's life, all the time. By the way, if you have any ideas or wishes concerning a topic to blog about, feel free to e-mail me!


Bye,

Facile

Hello :)

Today was a very nice day. :) It began with me waking up at 6.30 AM from one of my cats' meowing in front of the door to my room. Usually I would have already been up at that time (he must have sensed that :P), but the first four lessons were canceled, so I could sleep in. :)
I let the cat come into my room and she immediately crawled on my duvet - soo cute. :) Then I turned around and fell asleep again. :D
Two hours later, I finally got up - unlike the cat, who seems to be into sleeping all day anyway. :D

Well then, after breakfast, showering and the usual stuff, I rode my bicycle to school for the second time, this year. :) It isn't cold outside anymore, so I didn't even need gloves.

At school I had Spanish class where my teacher decided to use my new white zapatos deportivos for vocabulary questions, lol.

Over the course of the day, more and more wind came up, so my way back home was really arduous because I had headwind. :| At home I took a shower, ate something and then finished reading my favourite book (Pay It Forward, a great book!) for the second time. This week I also read Fahrenheit 451, which we had to read for English class. The idea of the book reminded me very much of Brave New World. Anyway, it's one of the few books that are good (in my opinion), even though they are obligatory at school.

----

Today I noticed that there are only six days left till I move to my new blog. :D It's not even ready yet (fine tuning is still to be done), but I'm confident that I can do it over the weekend. :P



Hmm, what else... Oh right. I'd love to share more pictures with you since many of you told me they liked those that I posted.
Currently I only have one picture worth mentioning. I took it yesterday evening. If you look close enough, you can see some birds among the branches of the trees. :)

Abigarrado

This weekend, the 2010 F1 season finally started. :D The first GP just ended and I think it's pretty obvious who's going to rule this season: The three best German drivers (who also were in the top ten, today) on the national side, and Ferrari on the constructor's side. At heart, I always stick by Ferrari. I love their racing car and their merit in the Formula 1 history. But on the other hand, I am also happy when a German driver (especially those from Mercedes) win.

Anyway, this season is definitely going to be gripping. :)

---

For the beginning of spring break (Friday), temperatures up to 15°C are forecasted for this region! :D That means the last snow survivals of this really strong and harsh winter are going to melt away for sure. :) The ditches here are still frozen and filled with snow, so it does not yet look like spring here, the more so since the nature hasn't greened yet either. But I'm definitely looking forward to warm spring holidays on which I can start gardening, cycling and just be outside more often. :)

---

This week is going to be just as nice as the previous ones. :) Tomorrow's P.E. class in the afternoon is going to be a big relief, as always. And it's also the last lesson in which we play basketball; after spring break we're going to play soccer, which I am good at. :)
On Tuesday, me and a friend want to cycle to school, if the weather plays along. The same goes for Wednesday and Thursday, when school starts later than normally.
On Friday, the first day off from school, I may cycle to the city again, get that delicious pita and other yummy things at the market and get some books.
As far as books are concerned, I really something to read for spring break because I'm done with all the books I bought in the past.
I'm not a fan of horror books with zombies, superstition and stuff, but Stephen King's "The Stand" seems to be different from typical horror books and worth reading.
I'm also thinking about reading some political books from old philosophers like Plato (Politeia) and Aristotle... It would be soo cool to read them in their original language: ancient Greek. Perhaps I'll learn it, one day. After I've learned Swedish and Italian, that is. :P


Anyway, I'm off for some running now. :)

First ride of the year | Law group

Hey,

As I announced yesterday, I was planning to cycle to school, today. So I did. :)
The ride to school in the morning was easier than I thought it would be. I must admit that I didn't rush things because I am not used to those long distances (30 kilometer back and forth) anymore, the more so with the new bicycle.
However, the ride was quite easygoing... so were my four periods at school.
On my way back home, it was more windy and I guess my legs were a little exerted from the morning ride, so it took me more effort and time to get home.

However, I arrived here at lunch time and wasn't much later than normally. And above that, I've had enough physical activity for today. ;)

Maybe I'm going to cycle to school tomorrow, again. A friend of mine (the one who also accompanied me last year's summer) wants to come along. :)

There's something I forgot to tell you in my yesterday's post: law group. :)
It eventually took place on Tuesday for the first time (and will take place every Tuesday after spring break).
Some of you might remember that I eagerly wanted to join law group as soon as it takes place. The teacher is great, the small group of about ten (sound) students is great and I enjoy the subject matter very much, too.

On Tuesday we started talking about taxes, forms of governments and the Federal Constitutional Court (which similar to the American Supreme Court, I think).
All in all, it was highly interesting. I would love to have law group all day, instead of normal school.




So far for today... I noticed that I recently didn't comment on my other dear blogging-friends' blogs very much. I promise to do that again, soon. :)
