19. Friendships

I'm insanely naive when it comes to friendships. Once we swiftly dance over the threshold between acquaintances and friends, I assume that the friendship is gonna last until we die, or maybe beyond that. I remember talking to some friends, and I think I was the only one in the group who was certain she wanted to have children one day. One of them said: "I wonder what kind of mother you'll be..."
I said: "A good one, I hope. Also, you'll be able to see and make your own judgement."
She looked at me strangely and said: "Well, maybe... If we're still friends..."
I was slightly freaked out by that. For me it was the most natural thing in the world that we would, of course, be friends forever. All those broken friendships of the past were still influencing me daily, but those were things of child- and teenagehood. We were adults now. Surely such a thing couldn't happen between adults? Joke's on me: She left our friend group a month, maybe two months later.

18. UPDATE

A lot of things have happened since my last blog post. I'm not entirely sure why it's been so long. Certainly not for lack of ideas. If anything, I have too many! I guess I've just been a bit busy. And I still owe England a blog post. Because I left England in June!! I miss it!! I'll definitely visit. I would visit now but I have no money :/ 
But good news: I passed my exams over there! :) 
I've also secured an internship in September (in Germany) with a lawyer//two lawyers. They mostly do criminal law and family law, which are the topics I'm most interested in :)
I have to write an experience essay type thing for Erasmus today! We'll see how that goes... You're welcome to give tips :P
