update on the excitement that is my life
2004-05-01
so...how are we all? personally, i'm doing just great. mostly. once again, i have a lot of things to think about which kind of stops me from getting important things done. i need to finish about a million homework assignments but each time i open my books, my eyes get all watery and my mind drifts away. i have to read one sentence about 20 times to understand what i'm reading. and then i read the questions and my mind goes completely blank because i can't even remember what i could have read that suits the question.
i just got all sad cos i read susie's entry and i realised i'll never have that. ok, so i'm *probably* getting a decent degree, too, but i'll never have any celebrations, which i guess i don't want in the current situations. if you think about it...i must have a thousand class-mates and course-mates all around germany. and i even know of at least one student in the netherlands. that would be...insane. so yeah...the chance of ever having any celebrations of that kind are pretty low for me. it's strange because when i was at school, i never wanted that. i never even thought of it. i just wanted out of there. it's not that i want the celebration stuff so much now. but i want the degree which i never thought about before, either. i don't even really need it now. i'm just doing it for myself. it can be useful later, though.
sadly, princess priscilla, my gay hamster of doom, passed away on thursday. so, there was only mr malibu left. originally, i wanted guinea pigs once all the hamsters were dead but seeing him so alone in his cage changed my mind, so i went and got a mate for him. his name is ignatz and he's still pretty ickle. the shop assistant said there might be problems since they're both males but they're getting along just fine. ignatz was allowed to sleep in the same corner as mr malibu already, so i suppose they won't slaughter each other. we're just a bit worried about the shop assistant making a mistake and ignatz not being a male. personally, i'm not too keen on having a bunch of hamsters anymore. they're cute, though.
the new-new job is fine, too. i even get something to do. i have to sort out the letters of people applying for apprenticeships and then i have to book them into a system and send out the letters and invitations for job interviews and tests and stuff. you get to see a lot of shocking things. some people aren't even able to write letters in proper german. and some letters sounded like personal ad's. "i am male, 23, caring, calm...blablabla". sometimes, it is quite funny. i hate it when they forget to send their latest school report along with the letter, though. because then i have to call them and usually, they're students or working or something so you never reach them. so i spend a lot of time talking to parents, siblings, relatives, whatever, whom i'm not allowed to tell the details anyway. the good thing, however, is that there are two other people in the room. they both are quite cool but hardly ever around. mrs r. is almost always out for some job interview or test she has to look over and mr o. is always...well, i dunno where he is. he just leaves and stays away for ages. *g* i guess he's visiting apprentices because he takes care of all the extra payment we get to pay for transport tickets and blah, so he takes a lot of time to talk to us and figure out the easiest ways to get to work and all. also, hardly anyone gets our extention. they all have to call the secretary and she decides whether they're put through or not. so the phone isn't ringing all the time. suits me fine, really.
hmm...there isn't much else i could write here now. i haven't done all that much, lately. nothing at all actually which even sounds sad when it comes from me. well, today is the last day of the delivery period for my car which mean the phone could ring any day next week. i'm guessing we'll go and get it next saturday. or...i hope so or i'll lose my last bits of sanity. i.can't.wait.anymore.
