Miss Print

I’ve realised that the atmosphere of my personal 43thingsverse has changed substantially, too much for me to continue using this site. I guess it all started with that sharing fiasco… I expected it to become less of an issue over time, but for me 43things hasn’t been the same ever since. The uproar and the losses have made me aware just how special this community is, but the other consequence is that I no longer feel at home here.

Thanks to everyone who has supported me over the years. Thanks for inspiring me with your great goals and insightful entries, thanks for helping me to sort out my thoughts, thanks for recommending some wonderful books.

Maybe I’ll rediscover 43things in the future and use it again, but for now I’m going to retire my account. I may be back to read or message, but I won’t be setting goals and writing entries.

To everyone I’ve ever cheered: If you happen to be in Germany (more precisely: in the area around Frankfurt) and are looking for a place to sleep or someone to have a chat with, write me a message. I’d love to meet you in person.

I passed level 2 with a score of over 80%! I was really unsure if I would, because I didn’t have time to study any Korean in the month before the test. It was a multiple choice test and I think my score reflects quite some lucky guesses. As expected, I was weakest at writing and strongest at listening, thanks to extensive drama watching :)

is a therapeutic goal for myself. I’m afraid I’ve developed a tendency of zooming in on the negative, of lamenting about it and feeling discouraged about humanity in general. The positive things somehow slip my mind in the process – I see them, but I don’t dwell on them.
I’m pretty sure I’m going to develop a distorted, depressing outlook on life if I continue like that. I want to be more balanced and happier and to achieve that it’s important to focus more on what I perceive as positive. I know there’s lots, I just need to remember it, so I’m going to write it down.
