Rain and clouded sky

Hey guys! So here you got five more posts today. Well I start to keep up again, right? Gotta tell you, this feels really good and even though I will be on the road again next week, you will still get some regular posts. Just need to keep this going or my creativity will just dry out or something. Speaking of dry, a few days ago the weater wasn´t dry at all, but I still had to get outside and organize some stuff. Bad thing was, that my umbrella is still in Bielefeld. So little me had an adventures afternoon running through the rain until it finally ended in the evening as I got back to my new place. But the rain with the light of the sun and later on this cold but clear feeling in the air, were amazing, so I tried to take good shots for you. Hope you like them.

Sadly you don´t see it properly on this photo, but all this bright light here is actually rain.
In the evening the sky was filled with clouds and it seemed to be really dark, but somehow it was also
 a bit brighter here and there with some small spots of blue sky.
And the air smelled so fresh and clean, wonderful!
Here the proof for the main dark atmosphere.

The park behind my new "home"

And now that we mentioned the park behind the student residence, I just have to show you some photos. It is so beautiful down there, you know to just go for a walk, sit in the green for some minutes, watch some ducks chasing each other, go jogging, sit down in the cafe and drink something. Whatever you do, actually you are in the middle of the city, but it´s still calm, relaxing and pretty. I feel very lucky, to have this park so close here. To have the possibility for having a place to calm yourself down. No garden you call your own? No problem, go to the park.

That´s the cafe at the park. Haven´t tried it yet,
but it looks really nice.
You even have enough space to make a picknick during summer.
And the tracks for walking/running/jogging are really nice and right next to the water.
The pond there is not very big, but it doesn´t need to be.
And last weekend I was able to watch a really beautiful sunset
through my window here.

My new place (Wohnheim)

Many friends ask me about my new place. And to give a small insight in what a student residence might look like, I thought to show you some photos I also took for my family. It is not much and quite simple, but I already changed it a bit to make it more personal. Maybe, if you like, I could show you some  more photos of my room here in a few weeks. We´ll see how it turnes out.

First things first, had to bring my plushie dog Beethoven with me.
That´s what you see, when you enter. A bed, a desk, a small box with
drawers and a chair. All this was already in the room and sadly I am
not allowed to remove or change them, so I´ll make the best out of them.
On the other side of the room is a closet and a some shelfs for books,
DVDs or what ever you like. Right now I still place my shoes
next to the door, but I want to find something else to do with them.
In the basement we have a party and training room for the whole house, so everyone can come down here to spent some
time with others or (like me) train a bit to tone up. So the best things down here are the billiard table...
...the soccer table and the punching bag. Next to this room is also a small bar for parties and a music room with a piano.
Down in the basement we also have the washing machines and
dryers you can use for some coins.
Every floor has ist own big kitchen, with many cabinets for every student and six refigerators (three people share one).
Furthermore there are two toilets (gender seperated) and three
bathrooms on every floor and a room to hang up wet clothes.
And that´s what the residence looks like on the back sight.

Learning greek and notebooks

As a small update concerning university. Things go pretty good here, there are a lot of interesting courses and projects to attend. During october you might get some nice archaeological posts as I joined a trip to Rome for a few days. We´ll see. The only course I am struggling with is ancient greek. Don´t like dead languages and even though it is no problem for me to learn vocabulary, it is the grammar I always stumble over. Anyway I really do my best, but it would be nicer, if I had a bit more money to buy some awesome gadgets or something to make studying more fun. For example, found those amazing notebooks lately and was really tempted...but don´t have enough money right now. What do you like to do, to pimp up your studying? Let me know in the comments.

This is what it looks like, when I learn vocabulary.
Always running around with books, learning material and water.
Look at those badass notebooks. So awesome!
And I was tempted to get me this as a diary/journal.

Some outfits I wore lately

The warm weather also remained in Hamburg so I´ve decided to wear my black lace skirt. The Outfits turned out really well (with help from my lil´sis) and I wanted to share them, even though the photos aren´t that good. But who knows, maybe I find the time soon, to make a fashion post again. Hope you gonna like these here anyway.

Haha well no, that´s not the skirt, but I also wanted to show, how I run around the house, lately. Cookies!
So here we go. Never wore the skirt that high...but still good.
On a very sunny day I wanted the show my inner mermaid.
Also went a little bit darker with one of my favourite Disney shirts.
On that day I also made a walk through a forest here in Hamburg.
And I wore that outfit twice, but the first time I added my favourite
Cardigan, because it was rather windy in the morning.

Return to Hamburg

But as things go I had to take the train back to Hamburg to get back on track for university and my presentations that needed to be worked out. Well on the train was not much action to tell you, but as we arrived in Hamburg we saw this big fire through the windows. It looked pretty bad, but still couldn´t find out what it was. Just hope, that noone got hurt.

Oh this young woman was also wainting for the train in Bielefeld
and this nice skirt just caught my attention.
Like I said, the trip as such, was calm and without action.
At least the sun was shining, through the whole time.
That´s what we saw through the windows...looked rather bad I would say.
And even in the city you were able to still see the smoke.

Flammkuchen and ice cream in Bielefeld

Well, told you that we went for lunch in the city center of Bielefeld. My BF wanted to show me this restaurant for Flammkuchen "Le Feu". Flammkuchen are similar to pizza, just the bottom is thinner and you don´t put that much on it. More simple and really delicious! Pretty sure it was not the last time, we went there. And because the weather was so perfect for me, we couldn´t restist to get ourselves some ice cream at the best spot in Bielefeld. I had a hard time to choose a flavor, but went with Stracciatella in the end. What is your favourite ice cream flavor? Let me know in the comments.

The entrance to Le Feu, but we decided to sit outside of cause.
This is what my Flammkuchen looked like. So yummy! Get hungry again, while looking at the photo, to be honest.
Well of cause we were not the only one, who wanted to use this
wonderful weather for a stroll through the city and getting some nice
cold and sweet ice cream, so we had to queue a bit.
But in the end we got what we wanted and it was just the perfect idea for that day!

Beautiful weather in Bielefeld

Hey guys! So like I promised, already gave you the first collection of new posts yesterday. Today you get another seven. Took the chance after the long weekend in Austria to spent some days in Bielefeld with my BF during the next. We got blessed with warm temperatures, sunny weather and a big motivation to go out and do stuff. We even went to watch "Civil War" on big screen in cinema. Have to admit, that I am no big fan of Spiderman, but here he was hilarious. The movie is nice and actually I´m glad, that we saw big. Well as you know, you are not allowed to take photos in cinemas, so we got you some nice sunny photos instead. Feel hugged.

In the evening we just took a small walk trough the streets nearby
the Heeper Fichten forest to enjoy the sun, as we got home.
Also as we went to the city center to go for lunch there were
summer feelings all over.
Haha the proof...I was not alone. Tadaa!
But as you see it was really beautiful. I love weather like this the most, especially with forest or water nearby.
And not a single cloud on the sky.

VW Bullies

Do you have a dream car? You know, like you always see it on american movies or similar, where people tell about this one car they really want to have. I tought about that a lot lately and have to admit that I don´t have this one car in particular, but several I really wouldn´t mind to call my own. This would a be a nice proper Jeep to go offroad, a Chevrolet Impala 67 or an awsome old school VW bus...you know those hippie cars, you can go anywhere you want, sleep, live and laugh in. Stuff like that. The thing is, there is a car dealer in Bielefeld, who sells several of those buses. And I fell in love with more than one there. Sadly I don´t have the money right now, but I would be really tempted to get myself a nice blue or yellow one. Do you think?


Dragon cake

Oh my gosh! A good friend of ours had her birthday and she really wanted to slay a dragon once, so my BF´s mother made this really cute dragon cake, to make her wish come true and we decided to decorate it. It took way more time, than we expected, but damn we are proud of the result! What do you think? We really had lots of fun with that and luckily she liked her cake very much and of cause it was delicious.
