My Bookish Life

Hello to another post about the subject writing! I had two posts about it before and I quite like to write about this theme, so here it is... The title "Did she do it?" refers to the things I wrote in my last posts about this. I haven't postet anything of my writing yet. A question you probably had after reading them "When will she post something?", "Did she post anything yet?" In fact I did. Quite a few things actually. I finally had the courage and since there where none of the horrible reviews I was so afraid of, I decided it was a good idea to finally take the step. I was quite anxious the first few days. Would people even read it? Would they comment how bad it was? Would they say it was crappy and I should quit? Fortunately they didn't. And after posting my first big work "Picking Up The Pieces" I even got good reviews and people wanted another chapter and another. It made me happy. I finally had done it and it went quite we...

Hello guys! It's been quite a while since my last blog post (over a year, holy molly and I'm so soorryyy!!!!!). I thought about blogging a while ago but never had the inspiration to do it. But I guess that it was time for a small update and here it finally is.  2019 was a brilliant year somehow. Had lots of fun on concerts and with my friends on the road, work was not too good but more of that later. Also my progress in writing was pretty good. If you're interested, here's a link to my AO3 page .  So work... Bad news first. No I didn't quit, not yet at least, I just got stabbed in the back by my bosses and transferred to another job after writing applications for different jobs in our company and got denied all of them. Now I'm my bosses boss "secretary" and the idiot of the whole firm. I still don't know what all my work will be but for now it's crappy. Mostly because - not of the work itself - but because no one feels responsible...

Happy New Year 2019! I'm quite looking forward to the new year. 2018 wasn't a bad year for me, it was quite good and successful, but I intent to make 2019 even better. 2018 was - as I mentioned - a good year. Stressful and full of work but good. I finished my training as freight forwarding agent in summer with quite a good score after months of studying and working. It was a very busy time but I also enjoyed it. I started a  job with a permanent working contract in the company that trained me. I helped out in a few departments and sadly I'm stuck in one I don't like at all at the moment. But I hope I can leave soon, so I keep going.  I intent to stop being stressed and work this much. I often did 10h a day and it was simple too much after a while. My resolution for work next year is to be good at my job, working for a promotion, get back into my old department and ignoring everybody's shit. I signed a second working contract for a few hours of work on Sat...

Hello guys! It's been a while since my last post. Sadly my laptop died and I just got it back yesterday. Edit: This was the beginning of the post when it died again!!! aaahhhh.... But now after a while it's back again and (for now) functioning. Well how are things? Good, definitely good... Finished my oral exam on the 5th July and are working as a fully trained freight forwarder since the 6th. I've lots of work and it does not get less. But that's a good thing in some ways, right? We had a few calm days lately but I'm already bored. *giggles* I can't stand when I've nothing to do. Won't have a big time off until October so I'm enjoying every weekend to the fullest or try to. Was at the Sting & Shaggy concert on Friday 13.07. and it was absolutely brilliant! There where so many wonderful classics from the both of them and some songs from their new album 44/876. If you wanna see a thread of pics and videos from this concert, click here ...

Sooo.... Another Wednesday at the cinema with a friend. Hihi no I'm not addicted, just a normal fan who wanted to see this movie. So pretty excited after all the hype on my Twitter TL I asked a friend to come with me and soon it was time for THE movie. I loved the beginning! It brilliantly made and the story of Wakanda is just beautiful. I'm just not quite sure who tells the story to the child. Is it T'Challa to his son or his father to him? I never get it... If you've an answer feel free to comment below. I wanna solve this mystery. Anyway.... Yeah the beginning and the soundtrack gave me goosebumps. African influence, combined with modern beats when we have the songs by Kendrick Lamar & Co. - awesome. The flashback to 1992 was good too. Interesting and not giving away too much for the rest of the story so it was still a shock for me to find out who the boy was, playing basketball. The timeline quite makes me a bit struggle. All this happend after "Ci...

Hello guys! I'm sorry I was away for so long but I simply had lots to do and work is kinda stressful atm and then I had no inspiration/ motivation to write a blog post. I'm sorry. Well, exams are done, I've my results and now I'm preparing for my oral exam in about a month. As I said work is kinda stressful atm because of all the official holidays we had this month. I work half time in another department and half in my own. I sometimes feel like I have to clone myself to get all the work done. I hope it'll be better in the upcoming week but I doubt it. Probably have to work on TUE (another official holiday here) too... Alone. And I'm worried that there will be some crap I have no clue how to handle. But well we'll see about that very soon.... Everything else here is fine, it's getting summer and very warm some days. It's beautiful but I prefer the rain due to my hay fever. My back is killing me again and I'm just working on pain killers ri...

Hello guys, I know it's been a while since I last posted here but I've simply been so busy. And when I was not, I wrote a bit on one of my fanfiction to relax. 24./25. April. The crucial dates for my 3 final exams I have to write... Our school/trainee-system here in Germany is quite complex so short version: working in the job is just not enough and we have had school during the last 3 years as well. To be fully trained, we've 3 tests in our main subjects (logistics/freight forwarding/marketing, politics/sociology and accounting/ controlling) 3 tests in 2 days and then 2 months later an oral exam. I've been studying very hard for this with a friend and took this week and next week off to study some more. As wasn't as productive as I thought I'd be but I'm good in time. I'm studying with a colleague from school most of the time. We're nearly finished with all the stuff to rehearse and now we're often do old exams to test ourselves. I'm ...
