Back to work
ell, 00:20h
I am zonked. Totally zonked. Sleep deprived. Drawn out. At least not underfed - yet. But happy.
Since Monday I am working on the mothers' ward, and although I am still like "Oh my god, a baby, I don't want to break it." it's an awesome job. And at least I don't have any more "get up at five" shifts for the rest of the week and then some.
If it weren't for that slight biting paint in my shoulder / neck / heard that just doesn't seem to go away. If it won't vanish tomorrow I guess I'll take a day ill on Thursday.
No, wait. Thursday is my free day. And I'll be having lunch with my family. And my brother just decided I got to go shopping for that.
And just when does he think I'm supposed to do that? Well, looks like I got to deal with that now, too.

Personal log

Please note that these lines were composed in a state of utter despair. I believe I'm emotionally compromised, good thing a free weekend is coming up. And then, it all started so well. Although I was once again practically asleep in the first two lessons, the day was over after those two already and at least they were rather fun. And after that we had an end-of-block activity, which meant we went to one of the best pizzarias in town and spend the 'third lesson' there. After that I went into town, bought myself a harmonica and my mother a cheesecake for mothers day and did some work for my dad before I got his car and went back to my mountain.
I watched an episode of Clone Wars, wrote a little, read a little and was pretty happy when I got a phone call. A little pretext here: My dad gave me driving lessons for my last birthday. Not car driving lessons, because I obviously can do that already, but driving lessons for a horse carriage. And today the guy finally called back, telling me that he still had a free spot tomorrow afternoon, which meant tomorrow was going to be a quite horsey day.
And then I got the message. It was only a short message from my riding instructor, telling me there had been a fire and that until further notice there would be no riding lessons. Damn. At least that was my first thought. And the second off course, was anyone hurt? Where had the fire been? Were the horses okay? I wanted to look it up in the internet immediately, for she and the others surely had better things to do than telling me.
And that was when Murphy law came in. My computers internet decided to strike. Completely. No looking up things. No writing with anyone about it. In my desperation I decided to call Liz, however she was partying with the others of her grade, celebrating the fact that they had just written their maths final. For a moment I thought about going there and party with them, but I was not exactly in the mood. And after all I did not have anything to celebrate. Another choice would be to still get home tonight, but I also put aside that idea quickly. I didn't want to tell my mum now, why on earth I was coming home now, although nine hours earlier I had said I would come tomorrow and why I would leave again for some hours in the afternoon, for driving lessons.
So the only choice I had left, was burying me in some kind of relieve. But my PC currently is not playing DvDs, remember? And the internet is still not working, so now movies or TV-shows. Writing was out of the question ever since I got the message and I don't want to spoil the book I'm currently over, or any other book, with my lousy mood. Besides the leftover pizza seems to have lost it's taste and I don't want to waste any chocolate on my lousy mood. When did I get so sentimental?
What I could really use right now is a Piano in a lonely room. But I neither have a piano, nor a lonely room, and I don't dare starting to play harmonica or guitar right now, because of my neighbors. The only relieve I got right now is writing this log in a word document. And after that, I don't know what I'll do. The fact that my dad just called and told my, that as far as he knows only the indoors arena burned down and so most likely no one was hurt doesn't really help. Maybe I'll go straight to bed. If I only knew that I could sleep.
And maybe I'll be going to my teacher on Monday and ask about that classroom with the piano. After all there I got the lonely room with the instrument, at least as long as there's no class in it, and as long as teachers are in the house. But for now thanks for your patience. Good night.

Needless to say that my internet is working again, at least somewhat. I hope it's enough to watch some more Star Wars. Also I have calmed down a little again. Eating Pizza now.

May the fourth be with you
ell, 23:25h
So it is official Star Wars day. And right for that I am more and more diving into the franchise again. In the morning I put on my Yoda-socks and decided to go for a green-grey Jedi-ish T-Shirt over longsleeves style while wondering how it is that compared with the other franchises Star Wars is still somewhat underrepresented in my nerdy multi-versed Room.
After that I started thinking about what to do with the day. After all I still can't play DvDs on my notebook (not that I have any Star Wars ones... yet) and my Internet is too crappy to watch anything there. So I only hastily scribbled down the Aurebesh on a note after noticing German in todays time-table and went to school, still not knowing what the day would bring. I sat through three astonishingly interesting lessons, and passed German by writing stuff in Aurebesh all over the rim of my worksheets.
Afterwards I instantly packed my stuff and went into town, where I spent the rest of the day working for my dad, watching a load-out screen on one notebook while trying to work on a enormous tabular word-document that needed at least two seconds for every action on another and was glad that I also brought my own notebook, because that way I could watch some Clone Wars meanwhile, among them one of my favorite episodes. (Guess what, a guy nearly dies, and it's NOT Skywalker.)
Some three hours later I was finally done with at least one of my tasks (the other will have to wait for a while) and so I could go home, with a pizza in my pocket. It has advantages when your boss is also your dad. Now I'm sitting here, eating a folded Quattro Formagi while trying to decide which Movie Soundtrack I'm going to listen to, because I have to at least do some clean up and / or learning today. And off course Star Wars is not among my CDs.
