Come on and let it snow

Congratulations to me! I managed to get through all of my exams and most of my presentations and hand-in deadlines. Only three more weeks of class and I will finish the taught part of my master. Freedom (not really, but I can pretend it will be)!
During all of this craziness I managed to enjoy the snow as well. My friend Jessica came over for one weekend and it was great. We visited Vianden and had snowy adventures in Grund. We couldn't find our way back up from the valley so we had to climb via some deserted stairs and then climb over a fence because there was no other way than the way back. And since the stairway we just climbed did not have any railing, it was a bit dangerous to go back. So we decided to create a new way be going over the fence. The people watching us seemed to think it was a bit strange, but well (I clearly do not feel any shame ever). During the rest of the weekend we drank a lot of hot chocolate and went out to a bar to see some live music (which we could not understand, since it was in French). It was great to actually get to enjoy the snow instead of just being hindered by it!

Why I blame my house mates for my insomnia

First of all: happy new year! I personally had the best New year's Eve in years. My friend Samra came over to Luxembourg and we had dinner with a whole bunch of my house mates. After midnight we made the fire alarm go of by lighting sparkling stars inside. A marvelous start of the year. After that we watched the fireworks and danced around on Iranian music in the living room. A small group of us decided to go out after, but the music was so shitty (this seems  to be a general theme in my life) that we left after one hour. Back in the resi, we sat in the kitchen talking until 5am. Oops. But it was a good night.

The day after we went to sleep late again because Samra and I were watching Inception and trying to understand it (I now do, but only after reading the explanation). On Wednesday evening we played cards with my flatmates until 2am. On Friday, I went for a walk with my 2 neighbors Tata and Sasan and after had a taste of some Pakistani food my flatmate Waqas brought. Again, it was 2am.

The next day I was supposed to have a meeting to work on a presentation at noon. Unfortunately my flashy new smartphone was out of battery (a win for the good old Nokia) so my classmate knocking on my door was the thing to wake me up.

I clearly need to change my lifestyle a bit. But at least it is fun.

XOXO
