Well this is it. I got my uni exam results today. Passed all my courses which was a relief. I have friends coming over on Monday and we'll be travelling around the west coast for a while and in two weeks I leave Aberdeen. Time has been something to me that always passed by quite fast. But this year seemed literally to go by with a wink of an eye. I yet have not made up my mind about the year but I'll keep you on the run about that. Take care!

Last Friday I went to Glasgow with my flatmate Britta a visitor of hers, Alex from Dortmund, and Sura. It was fun. Glasgow is nice and defenitely worth a visit. We went out on Friday to (supposedly) the best Union in the UK, the Strathclyde union, and then went to the Uni of Glasgow on Saturday. Very nice and old and posh. Also, I had Haggis for the first time and finished the stay off by watching the Rugby game (Ireland vs Scotland) in a nice sports bar in Glasgow centre. Scotland lost... Nice trip though! enjoy the pics.

I deleted the shoutbox. The spam commercials were getting on my nervs. Do something bout it serendipity! ty

After having a horrible table of 7 at work I happily polished glasses. Of course, for my life seems more and more like a film - this time Kill Bill - I broke off the bottom of a wine glass and smashed the stem into the palm of my hand. Blood came spilling out as no special effect maker could have done better. After having waited about one and a half hours in the hospital (which was quite pre-World War 2 by the way) I finally found out nothing too bad happened, got put a bandage on and sent home. No fees to pay there weird British hospital system... Thank you Quentin.

Well, this was the year 2006. I had a great time. My vacation back home is almost over now. I will be flying back to Aberdeen on Sunday. Going skiing on Saturday before that and then ready to tackle my two exams in January. I had a good three weeks home so far. I am quite tired of eating and partying though. But it's all good. Well all the best wishes for the New Year. Take Care!

Last Sunday I went to Slain's Castle. This is the place where Bram Stoker was inspired to write, or at least finish his Count Dracula Novel. Today it's only a ruin but it was still a really nice trip! We were 5 people visiting the castle just on a cliff next to the rough North Sea. Just 45 minutes north of Aberdeen lies this beautiful castle ruin. You should go see it if you have the chance. We then went to Peterhead to have some tea and got back just with dusk. Enjoy the pics!

Last weekend I was part of a charity event: A sponsored hitchhike to Newcastle. Sinda convinced me to be part of it so we met on Saturday at Uni to head of to Newcastle (which lies in enemy territory: England). Our first hike was just to the outskirts of Aberdeen. After having waved about 10 minutes with our dodgy Newcastle signs, a nice truckdriver picked us up and gave us a lift to Perth. I always wanted to ride with a truck so that was a really cool experience! At a gas station in Perth (yes Broxton roundabout Britta :D) we went around asking people getting gas for about 15-20 minutes until we found a family going to IKEA to Edinburgh. They dropped us of just behind the Firth of Forth Bridge a bit outside of Edinburgh. Being lucky, the first person I asked at a petrol station there was passing by Newcastle (Thank you Dave!). About 2 hours later we got to the outskirts of Newcastle. Quickly doing a toilet break and then jumping next to the road to the city centre, we got to Tyne Bridge in Newcastle - the meeting point - about six and a half hours after we left Aberdeen. Just 25 minutes after the first team! We had loads of fun and were very lucky. Other teams had to wait for about 5 hours in the cold not getting a lift... well you snooze you loose. I win! :D We enjoyed Newcastle nightlife after that and had a good time. spending the money we would normally have spent on transport partying in the city with - supposedly - the best nightlife in the UK!

As you all might now it was my birthday last week. I decided to have a party at home. And since the Scots go totally crazy on dressing up I decided to adapt to the local culture and do the same: have a theme party. My theme: Toga! I really didn't think anyone besides Valle and my flatmate Britta would come dressed up but in the end almost all of the people came as Romans. Really funny. Bad thing about togas; since most of them are white and you drink red wine, everyone ended up having red wine stains on their togas. How did the Romans do that? Enjoy the pics!

Wow, I am so busy right now. I hardly find the time to socialize over the internet! Well, I am fine. I enjoy uni life. It's fun and there's loads of things I can do: Volleyball, AIESEC, loads of societies and sports and so on... I read this article about German words emigrating into other cultures and countries so I thought I could do that to with words that don't really exist in English. (see heading) Aberdeen is treating me well, besides the weather people here, or at least at Uni, like to party and go out a lot. Right now I'm fighting to get my Uni work done and at the same time don't miss out too much of the social stuff here. That's all for now. I have to finish that Spanish assessment! Cheers p.s. the server has been lagging quite a lot so you might have had difficulties accessing the site or watching the pics. Hope everything is fine now again.

I got a flat!!!! I'm so happy! I'll move in with a German girl (who organised me moving in) and an English guy on Tuesday. The flat is really nice and 5 minutes walk to Uni. I won't talk about the prize though... Well, I'm so really happy to finally move into my own place. I hope to have internet soon and thus to be able to communicate with you more thoroughly! cheers
