It's been roughly 1.5 months since my last blog post. Much has happened, much has changed. I will try my best to catch you up, on the daily blogs this week, consider this "part 1" lol.
I didn't hope my blogging would be as scarce but my procrastination, combined with naturally accident prone-self, proved to be a deadly combination.
I unfortunately have been in loss of my new mac book pro, purchased prior to departure. I cooked a really great dinner, so proud of myself, so I decided to take a picture (cheesy/pathetic...i know lol). Since my laptop was up, thought it would be more convenient to use my webcam and save upload time as well. Little did I know, the juices from the steak were dripping onto my laptop. Epic fail. Wish I had a better story, but that was the day my laptop went into a coma. Since then, I've been without a computer from april to early may. Unable to communicate to family and friends back home, do homework for school, and occupy those really boring moments.
On the other hand, it made me utilize my time well. At the university, I had to get my homework done by that day, since I was unable to work from home. I started reading books again, creating collages, redecorating my room....really touching into my creative and artistic roots. Unwilling to bear no communication with my family and friends, during the remaining 2-3 months, I bought a new netbook while awaiting to bear the repair costs, until I'm back home (where $ works in my favor lol).
In true Jaimie fashion, take the good/leave the bad. If you can't do anything about it, make a joke about it. Laughing is good medicine. So my new laptop is Austrian by birth/purchase, so it has a german keyboard, but programmed in English. A dear friend of mine suggested we should name it. I wanted a name that would reflect strength and durability. New to this "naming your stuff" lol, I asked for suggestions from the expert. Then she said the wisest words of all...."Arnold". Genius I thought....Arnold after the Schwarzenegger....after all it's Austrian and speaks English. Genius. And that's how my new netbook was named.
Arnold has help up nicely. Been much of a lifesaver and aid to keep communication alive back home. Yet, with doing homework at home, I keep procrastinating updating my blog, when distracted with the busy and exciting social life of an erasmus student, when school does not inflict. Wish it wasn't so but here's to a fresh start, in documenting the rest of my travels and adventures, in a timely/daily manner. Prost...a cheers to a successful future...in the small world of my blog. Haha. (Yes, I'm pathetic and corny at times, I know lol.)
