How I did it
How to go to England
It took me
18 months
It made me
excited

How I did it: I saved up money, applied for an MA program at a british University, was accepted and booked a flight. Now I've been here for two days, and will be staying for one year. The preparations weren't as bad as I thought, but that might be because I am a EU student. Read how I did it…

How to write my bachelor thesis
It took me
5 months
It made me
I don't know

How I did it: I went to a self-help-group about work structuring every week to report progress and whine about troubles. This was seperate from university, so I could really say whatever I wanted and vent and so on, and get all positive responses from others in similar situations.I tried to stick to set working hours, during daytime - getting up early, not going to bed too late. And regular meals in between... no chaos in the rest of my life was allowed. Read how I did it…

How to sign up for the IELTS english language test by the British Council and pass with the score I need to attend university in the UK: 6.5
It took me
1 week
It made me
gratified

How I did it: After signing up and being appointed a test date, I collected some training software and a book. One week before the test I started working through the tests to get a feel for them. I constantly watched english movies and read english books for a few weeks prior to this, so the tests turned out to be pretty easy. Read how I did it…

What more can I say… it feels unreal. I think I’ll only truly believe it when I’m there.

feel beautiful (read all 2 entries…)
Low Point 2 months ago

This was a horrible, horrible day for this goal. Maybe I’m just PMSing… it happens! But I stood in the changing room today and looked at myself in the mirror and could’ve cried. Maybe tomorrow will be better. Otherwise I have to MAKE it better. Grrrrr!

stop hating myself every time I fail
Little things 3 months ago

I hate when little things throw me completely off. One stupid misunderstanding or an unexpected situation can ruin days for me. This just happened, and put me in a seriously bad mood, which I cannot afford right now. I feel it’s only getting worse. Tomorrow, I’m hoping for a fresh start come morning.

I now realize that I am far far far from getting this goal done.
