partners in crime

Posted by UkraineJane, 30.07.2006, 8:36 in while in Trier

that's it. i said 'bye' to everybody but Yoko and my communist people yesterday. my eyes got very very wet when i was walking home, but not one tear fell down.
Laura is leaving today, and Yoko with Levi are supposed to come say bye at the train station tomorrow.


feat. partners in crime: Laura, Yoko, Ovidiu, Caja, Levi, Tae, Alexandros, Annika, Ismael, Artis and all other super people who i met here. I will make a point to see at least some of you some day. <3
God bless!
they took pieces of my heart into different places of the world, and all i am taking with me is lightness.

troubling eyes

Posted by UkraineJane, 24.07.2006, 0:38 in while in Trier

The dreamy girl who liked to sit on the lonely bench in the shadow of an old garden wilted away. I buried her today, it is better this way. Only a miracle could bring her back.
The desperate sinking eyes stopped staring inside of me, and this seems to be the end of running in circles. Really, or it just seems so?

hanging

Posted by UkraineJane, 22.07.2006, 12:06 in while in Trier

after my exam i stole a whole hour of my poli sci prof's time to talk to ask about my "free market vs socialism" dilemma. i love smart and wise people.
now i am spending all my time on hanging and letting them all go one by one in my heart. saying good bye and hoping to see them again.
making a communist dinner with all of my kitchen kids tomorrow. going together to the pool today. you all people!
my lovely friend
we went for a Sex on the Beach and a hang last night
couples come to dance at Porta
to old music
"my" Trier
there were so many people in the city yesterday!
and this is what became of the Linden bloom. it is all gone. See you next year, linden blossom, if i find you in ATL.

one hour

Posted by UkraineJane, 20.07.2006, 14:45 in while in Trier

i have one hour before my second to last exam. this one is mündliche.
it is way too hot here for the past several weeks. yesterday a large crew from our wohnheim crawled to the swimming pool, and we were just sitting there in the water not to pass out from this +35 craziness. there is no ac almost anywhere, but i still love it this way.

we finished writing the new "Uni Trier for internationals" brochure with the international education director and 3 more foreigners. now i can write on my resume that i worked in germany
11 more days, and i am home. should i be happy or sad? whatever i should do, i am sad. sad, sad, sad.
no more communist kitchen - this is the worst one.

i was thinking of the next year. man, how will it be? first of all, will i live thru finishing math minor, being a team captain, senior seminar with a 40 page research, 5 hard core classes every semester and work to get my mom to see me walk to the stage and get a little sheet of paper that costs all together about 120 000 USD? then, will i get to do that what i want, but fear at the same time? are there ways to do it for a stupid ukrainian girl with an american BA? why stupid? here is why. if whoever thinks that they got it, and are greatly educated people with their BA or BS (dude, who called it this way?), just come to Europe and meet students here. An average one will be working on 2 MAs, will speak 6 languages, and has already worked in some insanely cool place (how about a germany embassy or sth of the kind?). But just do not ask me how old they normally are here The Eastern Europeans who come to the west are way too amazing as well. My fluent 3 languages and 2 stumbling ones are a shame! Take Justina from Poland. She speaks fluent German, English, French, Polish (duh), good Russian, and i cannot check her level of other 2 or 3 languages. Do not even start me with a REQUIREMENT of proficiency in English for everybody who wants to study poli sci in Trier. And a true need for this proficiency to live thru the theory classes.
No i am not jealous. I just feel slightly dumb.
oki, enough english for today. gonna go read some more articles and hunt down Yoko since we are doing our oral exam together.

Struggle for excellence, people, it is so needed! and, in btwn, if you come across some NGO that works in Africa and takes stupid little girls to work for them and does not ask to pay 1500 usd, lemme know.

Thank God for people that He strategically puts in our lives who are there to slap you hard across the face with Truth when you are all tied up in "self-sweetening."
- you are sweetening yourself, little girl.
- what? what do you mean?
- exactly that, you are sweetening yourself.

no more barefoot walking and after the bus barefoot running, or stark minimalization of both. i did it one too many times and stepped on some piece of crap in the street and my heel hurts now
sb called me from a strange number last night, but i do not bring my phone for the communist kitchen hangings. when i discoverd it, i was very surprised to get a phone call at such hour... we all thought together and deduced that the call came from England, and must have been my secret admirere. and then i got a voice mail: i mean, Sarah, you could have left me some hope to have one and not leave voice mail? (Ukraine, here we come )
one more thing, and i will shut up for today. Here is a typical German sentence for you
Das pluralistische System sperrt alle Bedürfnisartikulationen als dem politischen Willensbildungsprozess aus, die allgemein und nicht an Statusgruppen gebunden sind: die konfliktunfähig, weil ohne funktionelle Bedeutung für den Verwertungsprozess von Kapital und Arbeitskraft sind; und die als utopische die historischen Systemgrenzen transzendieren.

i myself do not smell shower gel, i simply watch others do it. we both get about the same kick out of it.
