13. Hello! I have holidays! Hurra! What's new! And books!

Hello all you lovely people!
I am currently back in Germany with my family until early May. After pulling an all-nighter to finish my essay (which didn't turn out great. The teacher who grades the essay seemed to hate me and I was having panic attack during the class anyway, so while writing the essay my anxiety levels were UP) I now have time to relax and most of all READ and WRITE. I am still ten books behind on my goodreads challenge and plan to catch up very soon. The book I've read mostly on the train here is 'The Secret Life of Bees' by Sue Monk Kidd. It's a great book and I recommend it very much indeed! They made a film version, with Dakota Fanning, which is also really good! Then I finished reading 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' by Douglas Adams, which you have probably read already, but if you haven't, please do! It's great! Now I've started to read a german book for once. I'm enjoying life very much at the moment! :) I've even managed to write a short story, which is something I usually never do, because I either stop writing before I finish it, or end up writing a book! But short stories are good, so yay. I've also started learning how to sew. Anyone who has known me for a long time will find that hilarious. I'm about the worst person to ask when it comes to doing something in an orderly fashion. But who says clothes should look orderly? Or even like clothes? Screw the system!



All the best,
L.
