Have a different life by this time next year (read all 5 entries…)
Update 6 hours ago

Alright, this goal is soon to be, well, not exactly finished, but one year will be over as of 6th December. So, I still got a few weeks left, but to summarize it:

- live happily in London, England
Won’t happen before mid-February (if I have passed the exam that is)

- work at my “job that doesn’t feel like a job”
Same as above (unless “Plan B” comes into effect)

- make a living in the job mentioned above
I wish…

- find myself a boyfriend (or, even better, be found)
Hm, yeah, well, I found someone with whom I have fallen in love with, but he is no longer available.

- lose 15 kg
I’m still at it, and have, thus far, lost 9kg (currently weighing 63kg).

All in all, I finished 1 1/2 goals (losing weight will be accomplished soon and the other half – at least I’ve fallen in love – it’s a start, isn’t it?)

But, I’ll keep going until I can tick off every single one of ‘em!



Learn to read and write in Sütterlin caligraphy (read all 2 entries…)
Well... 7 hours ago

Although, I have not done anything lately, I can at least read it by now (talking about handwriting – printed letters have always been pretty easy for me to read).

However, I have no clue, whether I could actually reprodruce it in writing, as I have not tried it yet. But I’m satisfied with my achievements and, thus, will tick it off as done :)



Plan B (read all 2 entries…)
In case of emergency - use "Plan B" 1 day ago

Usually, when I plan things – and I only plan really big, important stuff, which have an impact on my life (e. g. my working life) – I always got a “Plan B” at hand. So, I’ve been thinking about what am I supposed to do in case I also screwed up my second exam (I SO hope not, but still, I gotta be prepared for anything – coz, you never know!!!).

Well, anyway, I was thinking of taking a gap year as an au pair first, but then again, I feel like it would be a waste of time (plus, I’ve been babysitting since I was eleven and worked for two years at two nursery schools – as part of my former vocational training – and, actually, the next children I want to take care of should be my own – besides, I don’t feel like I could learn anything anymore in that particular area anyway).

However, my mind came up with an alternative! I’m gonna scratch together every last cent I’ve got, pack my stuff and make my dream come true (and I’m not talking about moving to London, England, I’ll head straight to L. A. and try to get lucky – cf “Find a job that doesn’t feel like a job”). I know, it’s risky, irresponsible and God knows what (because my current financial situation is a bloody joke). But dammit, if others can immigrate to Africa with nothing more than a toolbox and set up a property imperium a couple of years later or go anywhere else and make it, so can I!!! I mean, what can I lose anyway? Sure, lots of money, but I rather take my chances than sitting in a corner, feeling all miserable for myself, because I didn’t pass the exam, again, and retreat to the darkest place within me, because I’ll feel like it’s the end of the world.

So, in case of emergency – use Plan B!!! (along the lines of “Yes we can”) ^^
