My night with Moll;-)

Well, just try to find my way back to "normal" life. After 10 days focused on writing + reading it´s hard to prepare my stuff for short holidays. I´m just tired but have to pack my bags. Funny, I have no clue where to spend my holidays. Fact is my best friend comes with me to...??? Have to find a goal. Greece is too hot- Oslo maybe too far away, I don´t know where to go. Maybe it´s the best to stay in Austria-in the South to be able to visit Italy or Slovenia..we´ll have to discuss that later. Have to visit my sister, water my parents´+ uncle´s plants-all on holiday, have to do so many things and no plan where to start- and no power as well.

During the last days I just was focused on my course- lived in another world once more. I didn´t sleep more than 6 hours each night (too less for me), just stood up, ate something drove to Vienna, started the course, had an 1 hour lunch break-again course, went home, wrote and read,....I nearly had the same rhythm every day, nearly...except my night with Moll.

I spent nearly the whole night on reading , summarizing and responding to an article of Moll. It wasn´t an easy one but interesting (Lessons from Research with language minority children). But it was also a night when I nearly hit the wall and I had to overcome my fear of not getting it done in time. I knew I could do it but the pressure of not having enough time for work had been enormous in this night. I´ll never forget this night- went to bed at 1 in the morning and stood up at 4.30. It was hard but at least I did it! And after seeing may graded work I was glad to have spent so much time on that assignment.
So- hard work pays off!
But don´t ask me how I got through the day...

Now 2 weeks without course- but I have to do 4 assignments for the next block-starting in just 2 weeks. I have no idea, when and how and where I´ll write and read-but I´ll do it. Good feedback motivated me enough to do it. But now-that´s for sure I have to have some days off.

So have a good time, enjoy the summer and keep writing;-)

Influence and other stuff

Am I really so depending on the weather? Well, not always but at the moment I seem to have a weather-dependent mood;-) A little bit. How easily a person can be influenced-what a shame! But after weeks with rain and low temperatures not so unusual. (OK, forgot the 3 or 4 sunny hot days in between;-)

5 days ago I took some pictures in Vienna-it was cold and rainy. People were wearing coats, hats and some of them boots, too. Remember, it was 20 June!

But the good thing was I wasn´t able to take flower pics (OK, again a correction- I didn´t want to take flower or landscape photos without a blue sky). So I focused my attention on other themes- reflection and art. Got some funny, some interesting and maybe some strange pics.

Like the following ones-can find some in my photo-corner soon.

Love to play with pictures and create something abstract;-) fun, fun, fun!















Just a few days, then I´ll have holidays!!! Can´t wait any longer...

I want nice weather for my holidays -yesterdays sky promissed a better one and fullfilled my desire- blue sky and sunshine! Time again for T-Shirts and maybe sandals tomorrow;-)

I bought something else on an ebay-auction- some hotel nights in... Curious?
Guess where! A) Milan B) Vienna C) Munich

You´ll see some photos of the surroundings in about 14 days.
So happy whatever you want to do;-)
