I started taking classes… Acting classes to be precise. Yes, I said it – the big mystery is solved. It is my first ever acting class and the first session was on Saturday (8/1/2011). We did a lot of games and had to create some scenes and improvise a little. But we are only getting started and I am really, really, really looking forward to start working with scripts. It is a general beginner’s class for eight weeks and I wanted to take method acting classes next month. I cannot believe I am finally doing this! Wish me luck and I will keep you posted on this :)

How I did it: I intended to move to London for the last two years and after I failed two parts of my oral exam and would have to wait another five months I was like "Now or never", asked my friend (who was already living in London) for advice and ended up sharing a flat with her and another friend of hers. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Even though I don't have children yet and therfore can't have possibly passed it down to them, I realized that I'm doing so much genealogic research and I wouldn't want to be for nothing, I will simply shift this goal to my bucket list ^^ So, the "do more genealogy research" part is probably a never ending story (although I'm on it ;), but even though if my future kids would not want to continue my work, there are still plenty of organisa… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I went to donate blood at the German Red Cross. Three weeks later I got a letter with my blood type ^^Just find a date that is convient for you and do it. It was not as bad as I imagined. Felt a little shaky afterwards, but hey, it was definitely worth it! Plus, the best of all: you don't have to pay anything ^^ Read how I did it…
See all "How I Did It" stories...
I’m thinking about getting a dog after having lived one month in London (when I get my first salary). The question is a) can I afford a dog and b) are dogs allowed in my future flat? It’s wait and see… Will report back after receiving my first salary ;)
Edit (30 Aug 2010): Nope, there are no pets allowed in my flat… Therefore, this goal got to wait :P
Finished reading “Achtung Baby!” by Michael Mittermeier – a very famous German comedian and definitely my favourite one!
I think I should make it a rule to buy a new book as soon as I finished reading the last one (or if the last one turns out to be boring beyond believe!). I just have to watch out not buying too much books before I move to London next month – otherwise my transport costs will rise… (but I still got some books which I haven’t finished reading – how am I supposed to, they are all stored in boxes xD).
