Last Friday, a work and uni colleague convinced me to go out with them. Bad idea. A herd of drunk postal workers and me inbetween… eww. There was lots of touching going on, which totally set me off for days. Nothing that I can have, there is lots of “head work” still to be done. *makes note*

Sunday, the “studying in last minute” started, as every semester. 40 hours of work and Uni is not a good working combination, which I had to realize once again. Managed two exams anyway, but it was nerve wrecking! Especially as it was incredible hot and humid. I will take at least another exam next week, and hopefully a bunch more in autumn. Very slowly I am getting on.

On Wednesday my brother had his birthday, we didnt even have time to celebrate. Thursday, I received new Bento gear, which I love love love. Photos as soon as I get good ones.

Friday, was my second to last guitar lesson, and we decided that next year we will try to work towards my final exam, which will be a concert I have to give. About 30 minutes long. We pretty much have the program set, now its working on the details in every piece, and of course my nerves. I can still keep playing afterwards, but I really need a grade again to know where I am ability wise. Exciting!

I havent managed any reading, the days have been too short as they are, I did start Adrian Mole as a quick inbetween read. I much prefer it in English, I have no idea why I even have it in German, weird.

Knitting wise, my February Lady Sweater is pretty much done, its only missing one arm. BUT: as always I knitted it way too big, so I probably wont finish it. What a shame. Why do I keep knitting things too big. Everything I buy is too big. Next project will be Ysoldas Liesl, I ordered wool already, this one. Liesl will be my “Kur” project! Crochet wise, I got the cutest pattern ever on Etsy, this one. Will be a while before I can make it though.

My parents have been in my dreams pretty much every night the last few days. Not pleasant dreams, but I guess necessary for my head. Always painful to wake up after interacting with them.

I am sure there is more, but nothing that I can think off for now.

This week has totally been insane so far. Concert on Sunday. I knew the piece so well, but of course I had to throw my nerves away, as I usually do, and totally ruined it. I cannot believe myself!

Then, the biggest Euro football match ever in Austrias history, Austria : Germany! The mood was amazing, noone talked about anything else for days. Bummer that we lost, but it was still awesome!

Today is the last match in Salzburg, Spain : Greece! To celebrate, we went to one of the fan containers, and got souvenirs! A T-Shirt for my brother as an early birthday present, and a cap for me! I really am not an enough fan of our own team to get an Austria souvenir, yikes!

My knitting project, The February Lady Sweater, is progressing nicely. I am pretty much finished with the body. This is my Euro 2008 project! I am sure I can get it done before the Euro is over!

I almost missed this years signup for the Altador Cup! At first I couldnt decide, and then our internet stopped working! i signed up for Krawk Island in the end, in a total rush at Uni!

Off to watch football now.

Knitwise, I started the February Lady Sweater today. My knitted things would look so much better if I had the right wool. The green one in the model, looks amazing! *drool*

Concert next week, not looking forward to it at all. And Austria is playing in 3 hours! Yay! We will lose of course, but exciting nevertheless!

New addiction, crocheting elephants:

I also finished my stackable cats today. They are so funny. Not sure where to put them yet.

In reality, I should do nothing but study day and night, but I just cannot do it right now. I still have time though.

I need to get my hair cut.

All in the course of a minute, too.

On other news, Threadless is having another Sale, and I just couldnt resist. I am getting this and this one. Of course eyeing more. Argh.

So tired. But I have Uni all afternoon, dang. at least its a bit colder.

Very hard to keep the circulation going when its that hot. I pretty much fainted yesterday, it was dead scary. Not even food helped. Weird. Much better today, wonder what that was. I am now waiting for the thunder, really hoping it will cool down some.

Not too much progress on the stackable cats, I am still knitting on cat #2. Inbetween I made Bries latest brilliant pattern idea, a Little Acorn Project Bag, in the form of a strawberry. Mine didnt turn out that good though, photo.

I should be dead worried about Uni, these days I need a little miracle, I am sure my professors will agree *blush*, but I am way too stubborn to give up, its just a bit much.

All videos are now on YouTube here.

I spent today watching all 5 of Britain´s Got Talent Semi Finals. Am I insane? I dont have any time for this at all, but it was AMAZING! Well worth it. So many of them were so good. I like all the finalists, except I would very much have liked for Anya Sparks to go on. I am not too fond of the violin playing girls, so lets drop them, and take her in!

Does anyone know if you can watch the Final live somewhere online?

I have not the faintest idea of who is going to win this. They are all so very good! What do you think?

This is the first and biggest one. Two more will follow. I cant wait to stack them! I am also eyeing the new pattern that Ysolda is going to release. *drool*

Work for today is done. Thank God, its SO HOT! Uni a little later, and until then, I am going to throw myself out in the garden, weheeee!

On some days, I just cannot speak English. Interesting.

I finally watched the Ugly Betty finale, and it was brilliant! Probably the best episode all season. I loved the cuts, some were hilarious. I loved Mark and Amanda, especially in the scene in the Park cheerleading, and doing cart wheels and stuff. The little kid, what are you doing here, and why are you wearing eye shadow, HAHA! So good. And the last scene, with Betty stepping out of the door and the camera zooming out, everything black and white, but Betty. Sooooo brilliant. I think I am going to rewatch it now. What do you think is she going to do? I have a feeling that she is going neither with Giu or Henry. If she has to go, I hope she is going to Rome. I cannot wait to find out. Dont forget to listen and watch to the Ugly Betty Podcasts, they are always funny and brilliant!

Despite the impression that you might have after reading this entry, I actually barely watch tv, I swear!

This Raspberry Vanilla Cake I baked around midnight, while waiting for the results from Serbia. The cake is pretty good. Raspberries and Vanilla pudding is always a good combination. Easy and fast to make, too.

Not much else. So tired. Havent done a thing all weekend. Damn. So lazy.

Have a good week everyone.
