Isolation and Acting

Nothing new here in good ol’ Munich. Still studying daily for my upcoming exams, and the library life isn’t that exciting. I can’t wait until they’re over (which will be Friday, February 1st at 17.00). I can’t wait to sleep in again, see my parents, my sisters and my nephews again, have a love-life with the lover again ;). Missing all those things quite much. When I have upcoming exams I stay in Munich, I’m at the library at 8am, staying until about 7 or 8 pm. Almost no talking (except when the Lover and I study at home and explain things to each other. Good study method, btw), always looking down on your books (my back and neck and also head hurt so much). It actually drives you crazy after a few weeks (me at least).

I read, that after Heath Ledger got the role as the “Joker” in the new Batman movie, he practiced his role in a hotel room for about a month. He described the joker as a “psychopathic, mass murdering, schizophrenic clown with zero empathy” (taken from wikipedia). Imagine practicing a role like that. What a job. Pretty tough. If I were an actress and had to play a role like that (or any role where you’re a rapist, mass-murder …) I think I’d go crazy in my head. Totally. If you want to play your role good, for the time when you’re making the movie, you have to be the role, you have to be a different person. At least that’s how I imagine it (I must say, I really have no idea of how the movie-business works). No wonder the actors take medicine (of whatever they take). *sigh*

Or what do you think about this? Could you play a role like that? Do you think it somehow would affect your life?

Birthday Blues

It’s my Birthday (in 1 hour) and those are the things I’ll do:

  • Get up (Try to get up) at 6.30am
  • Drink a cup of coffee, milk, two sugars
  • Try to take the bus at 7.36am to the library
  • Meet the lover at the library
  • Study
  • Pause & read my B-day SMSs
  • Study
  • Go to the Lover’s at about 3pm and study out loud
  • Answer phone calls
  • Read B-day SMSs
  • Eat, Cuddle, Sleep

How exciting 🙁

The Fad – The Library

As mentioned a few blogs earlier, study time has started.

The only place I can really concentrate and study, is the State Library in Munich. The motto for a lot of chicas and dudes in there is “Hey! Look at me! I’m hot shit!”. Even an uni-magazine wrote about the “cat-walk” in the library (a year ago) and that the library is turning into a dating agency more and more.

I have never seen:

  • so many Mac-Books in one place before (Why? Because Mac is so stylish)
  • so many chics wearing minis before.
  • so many dudes with greasy hair.
  • so many dudes with Polo-shirts before
  • so many chics with boots (over pants) before

A few days ago I went to the bathroom and see a girl paint her face. She was wearing a mini-dress, short sleeves. It’s cold in the library. I start freezing just looking at her and wonder “if she ever had a Bladder Infection”. Do you really need to look pretty when you’re studying? (IF you’re studying).

But actually it’s quite amusing looking at girls in high heels who can’t even walk in them. 🙂

stabi So many people in there have a Macbook. For what, I ask. You can see what the people in front of you use their laptop for, because you sit so close to them (see the image), and most Macbook users use it for Word. And the Internet.

Do I really need to pay about €1500 for a laptop just to use Word and the net? Amusing – once again.

Oh well, I still love studying in there, without the State Library I probably wouldn’t study at all.

Today we visited FOGRA. It’s a Graphic Technology Research Association located in Munich. Things like that (we talked about Color Management, PrePrint, Computer to Plate, ISO, PDF/X, ICC, Proofs) are much more logical when you hear them from people who work with that daily.

Well, I’m back to writing my summary about CtP.

And for whoever is wondering about my sticking-out boobs in mylast post – no, they don’t stick out like that (as much as in the images) 😉

Just a hello

I get up every morning at about 7am, from monday through sunday. I get up, get ready, take the bus to the library. Sit in the library until about 8pm – stuying. I get home by taking the bus. I sometimes get out one station before my home station, so that I walk a bit and get some action 😀 some action. Not enough, that’s for sure.
So, should I wonder about my belly being huge?

Normally – when I lie down in bed, my tummy area is a little hollow (is that the right word?) Well, see the demonstration below (images not true to scale):

tummy

See how it “goes in” a little? Well, because I love eating and because it’s winter and because I don’t ride my bike etc blablabla it’s like this when I go to bed.

tummy

Argh, the last time it was so big (for more than a week) was when I lived in the States and gained 20 pounds (the food is just soooo good there) 😛

*sigh*

It’s not that I’m fat or anything similar, I’m still tiny (just when I gain, I gain on my belly. And boobs), but I don’t feel comfortable in my skin at the moment. The lover asks me weekly if I gained on my boobies, with a big grin of course (on his face), argh – I gained everywhere! I’m sure glad he thinks it’s sexy 😉

Anyways, studying is going ok. Geography is interesting, GIS not so much, Quality Management and Print Media is ok, it’s a lot though. 🙁

3 weeks – rofl

Lucky me that I have internet, I could look up what rofl means on Stupidedia.org :). I always forget weird internet-talk-expressions.

As noted on my last post, study time has started.

I felt creative, see? Click the images to see my flickr notes 🙂

My problem isn’t only how to get that study material into my head (in three weeks that is), but how to get the material into my backpack and into the library – and home again at night. The “Mediengestaltung” book almost weighs as much as I do! (almost)

Another problem is my hair. Ok, no, that’s not a problem, but, it’s hair. And hair at times is just UGH. What should I do with it? I got very “strong” (very much) layers the last time I got it cut, also in the front, and I don’t like it. The back of my hair (see pictures) I actually like, but the front – it looks like I’d have short hair but uh oh – it’s long in the back.

hair

I’m thinking of getting it cut until my shoulders?

… I don’t know how to end this post.

Ttyl?
(I just read this post, it’s horrible. Sorry for posting so random. I’ll try to improve)

Study Time

*Sigh*
Starting on monday, my second home will be the library again. Exams are coming up, the first one is going to be on January 28. And I haven’t started to study yet. *Sigh*

Dates for exams are:

  • Jan 28: GIS
  • Jan 29: Print Media
  • Jan 31: Geography
  • Feb 1: Quality Management

*Sigh* 😛 (annoyed of the word sigh yet?)

A few days ago I stumbled upon the “thefanlistings.org forum” and checked the fanlistings who were up for adoption and Island in the sun by Weezer was listed. I applied – and got it 😀 *doesthedance*

For weeks now I’ve been listening to this song over and over again and I’m pretty sure it’s one of my favorits already. I was so happy (little things like that, also if it’s only online, make me happy)

If you don’t know the song, here you go: YouTube Video (I won’t post the video because, I’m sorry to say, I hate it when people post videos in their blogs! (Unless it’s a video of the blogger).
