Awwwwww everyone made me feel so special today :) I had A GREAT day thanks to all those lovely compliments. They really really made my day :D :D :D. Maybe I should wear that pink sweater of mine more often *hihi*. Thanks everyone!
That being said. We still didn't get our essays back, so I emailed my tutor to send me my grade *superanxious*. Let's hope that it all went well. I think a bad grade so close to the exams would be a kick in the backside and not exactly motivating. Thinking of it actually makes me super scared now. Yikes.
... >_>!
The very last update on the random plant in front of our house. It's finally gone :) Thanks to Jeanne, the plant found its way into the bin. No more Voodoo or randomness for now *phew*.
I can see, all very short messages today, but my life revolves around uni only these days. So nothing too exciting happening at my end. BUT I did find something quite disturbing. I was watching tv like last week and I saw this ad for a "Sexpo" at like 12:15pm, when kids are in front of the tv !!! I mean how irresponsible is that seriously. No need to be prude, but kids really don't have to be exposed to these kind of ads either. It's certainly something they can do without. Anyway, then I forgot about it and today I watched Ellen Degeneres again and the same ad popped up again. So I remembered and that's why I'm only writing about it now. But still *argh*.
And my final short message for the day, our lecturer was talking about death of the elderly and death in general today. Among all those concepts and theories and even some euthanasia talk, she mentioned "bereavement overload" (which is for example when a person loses too many loved ones in a very short period of time) and so I couldn't help but think of Herbert Grönemeyer, who is a very successful German singer and a great artist. However, his personal life does not reflect his occupational success. In November 1998, Grönemeyer donated bone marrow to his sick brother, but the transplant was unsuccessful and his brother passed away. Simultaneously, his wife suffered from cancer and passed away 2 days later. Upon those 2 losses, he took over a year to recover and made his comeback in 2000 with one of the most beautiful and meaningful songs probably every written in German history and definitely his masterpiece, "Der Weg". A song that always gives me goosebumps and makes me tear up without fail. It makes me realize how thankful I can and need to be that I have all my loved ones around me, alive and kicking :).
