Dani's Journal

Another beautiful day today. :-) I even was outside without a jacket, because it's quite warm. :D Seems like spring really is here at last. *yay*

I'm so glad that exam week is almost over again. ;-) Just one more day to go, with Spanish reading comprehension/vocabulary and English grammar + writing skills tomorrow.

Today we had our Spanish orals, which actually wasn't as bad as I had feared. *g* [And way better than my English oral on Tuesday... *lol*] We were in pairs again, and had about 10 minutes to prepare. First we had to talk a bit about ourselves (name + age, where we live, hobbies,...). Then we had a selection of topics (e.g. our last holidays, plans for the next weekend, our pets) from which we had to choose 2 or 3 and ask our partner questions about. And then there was a little picture story, where we had to describe the pictures and tell the story together. Oh, and also we were given a situation ("going to the pharmacy with toothache"), and had to do a short dialogue with it (one of us as the pharmacist and the other as the customer). Well, all in all I think it went alright.
Afterwards we had our English listening comprehension test. It was ok too, although I had to guess the answers a few times... *lol*

Next week we have 4 days of computer course (MS Office). I hope it's not only the very basics, because that could get a bit boring... But we'll see and hope it'll be fun nevertheless. ;-)
And the week after that already starts the new semester (wow, that half year went so fast!) with a new time-table.

Today after school I met up with my mum in the city and we did a bit of shopping/browsing together. It was nice.
I bought series 4 of "How I Met Your Mother". <3 I know I haven't even watched series 3 yet (I intend to start this weekend!!), but the price wasn't bad, so I couldn't resist. :p
And I finally had my first proper ice cream this year! *yummy* :D


Oh, and by the way, my LJ comments counter works again. Hooray!!

The rest doesn't really fit that well... *g* And PLEASE don't play "La Paloma" at my wedding! *rofl*

Is there anything wrong with LJ??
It seems that it doesn't add new comments I made to the statistics in my profile anymore. *doh* I commented at least 5-6 times today, but the number always stayed the same... :-(

Well, I'm off to bed now, and hope that things are back to normal tomorrow. *lol*
 

Some more photos, from my second walk today.
I was out for 3 1/2 hours, which included about 1 hour of window shopping though. :D


( click for pics )

Today is the most beautiful day. <3 Sun, blue sky and really warm (~14 °C). *yay*
I had to hand in some documents at an office, and on my way back to do some grocery shopping I had a nice little walk through the park. :-) There were a lot of people with dogs or small children around, all enjoying the good weather.

( a couple of photos )

I just had a little something to eat, and I think now I'll go outside again. Would be a waste not to. ;-)
So maybe there'll be more pictures later, if I find something else worth shooting...

I sort of rediscovered Facebook and currently enjoy being a bit more active there, so I haven't really been around here very much... *blushes* :D Still trying to catch up with my flist now. ;-)

But there actually isn't that much exciting stuff going on anyway...

On Monday I bought tickets for Dieter Nuhr (a German comedian/cabaret artist) for November. *yay* Love him. I've already seen him live 4 times before, and it's always sooo funny!! <3 Totally looking forward to that!! :D

Yesterday I spent a fab day shopping. <3 Bought two reduced English books: "The Skin Gods" by Richard Montanari and "Cranford" by Elizabeth Gaskell. Also went back to the department store that is closing down this weekend. It's really empty by now and most of the stuff left is rather useless. But I was lucky and found two musical CDs for a real bargain price - 1,50€ and 4,80€! *yay* Normally they would be about 15€ each, if not even more...
In addition, my Amazon parcel with season 1 of Chuck and the book "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak arrived. :-)

In other news, I finished watching season 1 of Castle and love it more and more with each episode!! <3 It's so awesome and funny! Will start with season 2 shortly. Can't wait!! :-)
And I finally caught up on The Big Bang Theory. Hooray! :D
