Today I felt like I took a jump back in time. Back to 9th grade midterms and finals. And now I remember why I hate it so much. I had to take an English test to prove to the university in London that I am able to follow the courses in English.
Most of my friends already said to me that I would do well, and I do speak English every day, but I am not at all a literate person. I somehow fell like that some of the things in the test would even be hard for a native English speaker, who is also not very literate.
I am crossing my fingers, arms and legs that the result is at least good enough to get me into school.
I don't know if the fact that I am getting a bit sick, is caused by the acupunture I started this Monday or it is the fluctuating weather that for the moment causes me to wear too little clothes.
But right now my roommate is out of town and I have the flat to my self, so tonight I don't mind that I need to stay indoors and try to get better. Instead of going out I will enjoy the beautiful view of spring from my kitchen window while listening to some nice music and drinking heiße Zitrone mit honig.
All day long I have been outside.
First I lay in the park with my morning coffee. Later I went to Teals to sit in the sun, on the rooftop of her courtyard together with her and Elisabeth. I brought my knitting stuff as I am making a new pullover, that I can almost not wait to finish. When the sun was gone from the yard we went to get ice cream.
After I went to Club de Visionaire to meet up with Stine and her friend Martin. And we sat and had a drink while enjoying the sunny day and the music.
I been listening to this new song from the Fleet Foxes. Every time I listen to their music I feel like I am back at Roskilde Festival 2009. Their music reminds me of summer and I always get in a good mood when I listen to them.
I think I will go and get a ticket for their concert here in Berlin, tomorrow on my way home from work.
Last night I was at an exhibition opening. Etienne Allaix, the artist found a lot of old photos, and cut them through to remove the faces in the pictures to create a universal memory, rather than a personal one. I really liked it. The old photographs for sure, but also the idea, though I don't think that I could do it myself. I love buying old photographs at the fleamarked, but the main reason I do so, is because I find the people on them inspiring, despite of the fact that I don't know them.
