How I did it
How to be the coolest aunt
It took me
5 months
It made me

How I did it: I have the luck to live close to my sister, so I see Ruben, my 5 months old nephew quite often. At least more often than his other aunts! So although I'm not sure that I really am the coolest aunt, I think he's gotten to know me quite well already and he's always very fascinated by my presence and gets really cheerful when I play with him.

How to drink more water
It took me
4 weeks
It made me

How I did it: I always have had a water bottle with me, but always forgot to refill it, making me drink only the first 0.5l. Now I make sure I have water with me everywhere I go, and when I expect to run out of water while I'm for example on the train or in class, I bring two. I also started drinking green tea a lot, and I also drink black tea without sugar now. I think this is also a good thing. Read how I did it…

How to read three German books
It took me
9 months
It made me

How I did it: I started with a book I bought in Luxembourg. Normally I bought only German books of classic or at least known to me authors, but this one looked very pretty ánd the story seemed interesting, too ;)I turned out to be a wonderful choice, it was quite easy to read for me, and the story was absolutely great. After this one I read a book that is both for adults and teenagers, so it wasn't really hard either. But the third book turned out to b… Read how I did it…

write my thesis (read all 5 entries…)
Wow, 8 months ago I wrote "totally motivated" 2 months ago

... and since that moment I hardly made any progress. How bad is that! I really want to finish my thesis this year, but I just can’t get to it. Blegh.

And the prospect to be unemployed after graduating isn’t really motivating..

lose 5kg (read all 4 entries…)
And 2 up again :( 2 months ago

Everytime I’m doing well, I slip back into my old habits.

Very frustrating.

But, I keep trying. At least I’m doing sports now one or two times a week.

I just checked my wardrobe and it’s really depressing. I really don’t have any nice clothes anymore, because I don’t want to buy anything in my present size. Or actually, I just can’t find anything I like that looks nice and fits well.

When I’m down five, I’m gonna throw away all the stuff I don’t like, and I’ll try to buy three new pair of trousers than. At least one jeans.

I want this so badly, why did God make chocolate :( If it wasn’t for chocolate, I wouldn’t find this so terribly difficult…

Since summer 2007 I have replied to over 160 ads for a room. And still no luck. How depressing can it be?
