Like in Keane's song: Its just another day and nothing in my way...
The past week has been very successful for me: I had to hold two presentations, one in International Marketing Strategies and another one in Company Project. Both presentations went well, very well, actually. I have to admit I was extremely nervous about them and could not sleep a couple of nights. As I have mentioned before, I am the manager in the Company Project, so last week had to make the 1st serious human resourse decision and fire a person who, to my mind, was not properly doing his work.
After the hard part of the week, decided to award myself with a day of full rest and went to Göttingen. Its a university town, very nice and very German in every sense, unlike Kassel. There you can see the tiny streets full of flowers, typical German houses, German pubs and students. There is an immense number of students and therefore bykes, parked everywhere! Göttingen is included in the number of the best universities in the world. And I am proud to say that one of my Economics Professors on Competition Policy is from the University of Göttingen.
As I have mentioned before I go to the gym, called Fitness Company, here. Funny fact, one of my professors (two German courses that I am taking)goes there with me. She also attends Competition Policy with me!
I feel relieved and happy these days! Mostly because I got myself a Christmas present - a Mango dress for the New Years!:) Now even Germans who talk to themselves seem to be funny and not annoying:)

Как можно быть несчастным? Ведь это неудобно. Не знаю, я не пробовал.
АД
Вот ты все лезешь к ахматовой под подол, а взяла бы и выложила - свое.
Восстанавливая по памяти, шлю
АКРОСТИХ
Помилуйте
Родная пани
Ей говорил он иногда
Любови где
Ютятся яни
Бесспорно иней есть еда
Однако что здесь интересно
Духовно мы
Едой хотим
Янь изувечить как повесы
Но
Инями
Его едим

Why do you think I was unhappy here? I was home sick and still am, its a different thing, as far as I see it. I don't know about you but being on your highest point, which is happiness, all the time is just tiring and meaningless. There have to be ups and downs allowing us to see the difference and thus value our ups more.
Thank you for the verse however:) You have a different style than I do. I will post some of MY verses when I get home and find them. Achmatova is my hero, whose poetry is simply adorable and embodies what I should be writing.
PS Why was that poem written on February 14th?
My boyfriend Allen lived in Gottingen for two months this spring! How did you like it? He said he would have liked it a lot better if he had been living in a nicer place...
Aren't you going home for New Years? Merry "Catholic" Christmas from the States!

Ashley, Merry Christmas!!! Thank you so much for the wishes:)
I love Gottingen - its one of the most beautiful and "German" in my understanding cities that I have seen. Though living there is probably like in Kassel: nothing's going on since you are in a village:(
