It's almost done!

I can't believe it, it is almost done! I only have to write the conclusion chapter (about 3 pages) now, and then I will be finished! Then I will have it proof-read, printed out and binded. Are you interested in seeing my paper? Then I will share some fotos later, my deadline is April, 16. Honestly, I don't care about the mark I will gain for my final acadamic paper, I am just happy it will be done soon (hopefully tomorrow or Wednesday).

Then, I also can't believe it's my birthday this week on Thursday. I will become 23 years old. I really feel old now, especially after having met some Japanese exchange students (see pics below) from our partner university in Nagoya the last weeks. Many of them just started their German studies and were only about 19 years old. I can't even remember anymore, what I did with 19 except for having finished high school at that time around. And now I am almost finished with university. Time is flying too fast. Can you remember what it was like whan you were at my age? Or if you are at my age now, what you did when you were younger, let's say about 18, 19?

Anyway, have some pics from our last meeting at university, before they left for Japan: 

 
Our group pic, of course there were more exchange students, but they were still eating in the canteen :-)

Okay, I hope I will have some good news the next days when I post again. I will give my best now at the final spurt!

Random Japan Picture Post

My paper is almost done! I can't really believe it! Still 6 pages to the end (I am at 34 pages atm). Let's hope I manage to get the whole thing done by the end of this week. :-) Thank you everyone for your support until now, it means a lot to me! I will think about a way how I can show my appreciation to you soon, that'a a promise!

Today, I thought it was time again to share some fotos from Japan (2008) with you! They are really random! I just took my camera and took pictures of anything which I thought was worth taking a picture of. Have fun and enjoy!

Kitty sweets from a supermarket in Yokohama
More sweets
Ad for purikura machine with Japanese gals
 Rilakkuma Coffee from a Convience Store called Lawson
Starbucks Macchha (Green Tea) Frappe! 
Plastic models from the Japanese McDonalds asssortment!

I still have tons of such random fotos, so this series will be continued for sure! If you want to see more of them, of course! Sometimes it can be boring to look at fotos another one took, right? Just tell me! XDD
By the way, this is my 40th post! ^0^ Thanks to everyone who was with me the last 40 posts!

Easter is coming nearer!

Hello everyone, are you enjoying a great weekend? It has been too long since my last post, I've been busy with the paper. I have 29 pages finished now, and I plan to get the whole thing done by the end of next week, before my birthday. I think I will come to 40 pages, if everything works out as I have planned.

When I went to town yesterday with my sis and a friend I realized it is Easter soon! You can see the Easter decoration averywhere in the shop's display! I took fotos of the one I liked most. It's from the "Lindt Goldhase" (Golden Bunny from a Sweet and Chocolate company called Lindt, very famous here in Germany). Have a look!

From the other side :-)
Lol, I think he looks like an evil boss of a great bunny army, who are going to invade our households at Easter time! 
Here is the smaller version which I got to Easter last year. Isn't he cute?

What about the Easter decoration in your countries? Is it even celebrated as much as here? Anyway, have a great weekend my dear readers!

I love Onigiri

Hey everyone, are you enjoying a great weekend? I do, since I decided to take a day off from the paper XD Just have to do more tomorrow then. Today I made some Onigiri, japanese riceballs. I think they are ideal for snacking inbetween. My friend (the one who dressed me up in a Kimono) told me how to do, it is surprisingly simple! Have a picture and get hungry! :-)

Somehow I had a flow of motivation today, hope this will keep on going! If it goes on like this, I am sure to be finished before my birthday. Btw, birthday, Congratulations, RicAdeMus! I hope you have a happy bitrhday. I am so glad I got to know you! Thanks for your kind words each time. This is for you!
