Kalimera sas!
So I'm too late to wish you "kalo taxidi" Geli, anyway, I'll think of you spending your holidays at 15°C, while I'm sitting in windy and icecold Vienna (ok, today it's not so cold anymore - thank god). Sunday was great, we went sledging (do you remember the hill we were up, with the view over Vienna). As we all don't have a sledge in Vienna, we took plastic bags and we were the fastests!!! But the children were quite surprised, that we don't use a high-tech-stearing-sledge-thing, like they did.
Finally I finished my puzzle yesterday!!!!! jippie!!!!!!!!!!! Did I ever tell you of my puzzle? I don't remember it anymore, I bought a puzzle after christmas, because it was so funny to play with my cousin (that had 77 pieces and stupid me bought one with 2000 pieces). Sometimes I really hated the picture, but now it's finished and a nice mountain with a kitschy river and a shrubbery (I always had to think of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" *g*). Anyway it's finished and now I don't know what to do with it, probably destroy it - he he.
So I should go back to work, it's still quite stressfull, but I'm half done!!! Only 4 months more :-(
And I don't want to work on Friday and the half Thursday, because I'm going to a ballroom and dressing up and sleeping will take some time *g*
Filakia, Jutta
PS: how will you dress at carneval??? I think I'll be a bee, I only have to find an ugly T-Shirt with yellow and black stripes, but I'm confident of finding one at KIK or Takko *g* (sorry Eleni, you don't know these shops, they have grrreat clothes...).

Hey that is not fair! It is not my fault, that I have nothing to do :)!
And this week it can be a bit stressy cause I have to do a lot of interviews and then carnival is coming...
I wish you also kalo taxidi, Geli, have some nice days in the sun, and if you meet any of the erasmus-people, say hello to them!
My last week in Prague was also really nice, we had a lot of fun and -unfortunalty- drunk a lot. But beer is really too cheap there! And the best was, when we went to a concert of the Beatsteaks, I don't know if you know them but they are quite famous in Germany. And we only saw them by chance cause we lived in the hostel above the disco!
So, have some nice days in Portugal, Geli,
filakia to the rest,
Yvonni
P.S.: I think I can't go to Crete this year because finally I could register for an excursion (the one to southeast europe, I think we also go to Greece :)!) and this will be too expensive so I can't affort any other holidays this year. Only perhaps some days in Helsinki... I will try!

Yeah, I know that officially it's Monday now but I'm having my Sunday now. I was working the whole weekend so I didn't really have any time to xalara, so I'm doing it now. You know how Sundays are like: sleeping late, not doing/thinking of anything. I like this!
Geli, will you meet Pedro/Inés/Vitor in Portugal? +15 degrees? po po!!! Jarno will go to Austria on Saturday. I'm spending all my freetime with him, and it will be strange to be here 1 week without him.
Last night I had a dream that I was still in Greece and the atmosphere and all the people (including all of you) were exactly the same. Now I really miss it... sniif. When will you come here to visit me?
Geli, kalo taxidi!
Filakia gia ola!
Eleni - 31. Jan, 11:33
Hi all together! No it's true! I'll go to Portugal on Tuesday... yea yea yea!!! ...together with Thomas. We'll rent a car, going first a bit to the southern part, then a bit the norther part of Portugal and finally for 2-3 days to Lisboa! And it's gonna be 15° there... not -10° like in Vienna at the moment!!
Now I only have to finish my stupid paper tonight and tomorrow so I can go without any bad concience.
What's going on with you? Still a lot to do? (Maybe finally Yvonni as well? ;-) )
Send you kisses!
Geli
So suddenly everybody wrote something back! Great for my freetime!
But, be sure, this will change soon. Now we have to do some interviews on the street, which is the worst of our whole study I think.
Ok, in a row: First I meet this guy from the queue 3 times. We had fun and he is really nice and I think we stay in contact, but as friends. Nothing more. And it is ok for me. I don't want to enforce it. And so I am still ok with it.
Then I applied again for the excursion and they asked for language knowledge. Do you think it was wrong to say that I speak Greek? Otherwise I would have still 4 months to start to learn again:)! I think it is for a good reason so it is ok to lie a bit.
Then I wish you all nice nonfreetime and -perhaps it is also valid for me- but I am happier and more satisfied when I have a lot of stuff to do! Really!
Have a nice weekend...

Kalimera!
After only 4 hours of sleep, I'm astonishing awake today (when I think how I look every day in the morning, before I have to go to the lab... po po).
Right now it's more than stressful, I had a lot of work in the lab (some days I even didn't have a free minute to sit at the computer) and afterwards I had to study for an exam. And after some time of not going out, I had to catch up with it and Christoph is leaving in one week to do his thesis in Canada and he has his birthday, so we have to party a lot for his good-bye. But it was real funny the last days and especially yesterday (otherwise I wouldn't have stayed until 5 I guess *g*).
My internet boys? There are quite a lot and some are really nice, but by now no Mister Right (but I don't want to have a relationship right now, so it's very ok for me). Quite interesting people I probably would never meet in real (or do you know an lawyer with conscience??? sorry geli *g*) And with one of them I will probably do some dancing lessons, he asked me if I want to, I never got to know a man (and he's nice too) who wants to do this voluntarily...
Ok that's it from me now, I should be ready for skating at four so I have to hurry to go shopping before (I need shoes - dancing shoes - and I hate buying shoes, you know why Yvonni *g*).

I also support to get more boyfriend-information!!
Yes, thanks, Eleni, everything is fine with Thomas. We will even go on a one week holiday in the beginning of february - to Lisboa!! Renting a car, going around in Portugal a bit and after some nice days in the capital! I'm really looking foward to this!! ... and maybe a bit of sun! :)
I also have to work quite a lot at the moment. I have to write a paper. Today I already had a presentation about it and next week I have to hand in the paper.
So, Yvonni, enjoy your time of doing nothing, other times will come for sure! ;-)
Cross-county-skiing?? Sounds great! Have fun, girly!
Kisses
I wrote a long story for you but then something happened and it disappeared. not fair.
But the main things were that I'm spending too much time in the library and I guess that now when Yvonne doesn't have to do anything, we others have to work for her also. So, Yvonne, please try to find something to study!!!
And I'm curious about the relationstuff of all of yours! Geli, is everything perfect now with Thomas? I hope so! let's support the pharmacists :) Jutta, has anything happened with the internet friends that you got to know while we where there? Any skiing instructors this time? And Yvonne, how about the guy that you changed phone numbers with in a shop? any news about him? L.E.T. M.E. K.N.O.W.!
Nice weekend for all of you! I don't have any other plans for the weekend except going cross country skiing.

...to do! Huuaaar! I hate it!
Ok, I try to leave the house at least once a day, but finally the uni is over more or less and I don't have to work anymore on a homework or something like that. And I really hate it. I need a challenge!
And my stomach is a big bullshit in the moment, too much coffee and alcohol in the last time. I really need a break of... doing nothing. Puhpuh!
Geli, I am happy for you that you finally found out what is the best for you and that you are with Thomas (the pharmacy guy, right?) now!
But what is with the rest of the gang? So busy with studying and so on? If yes, I am jealous :)! No, not hornestly...
Ybovvn - 20. Jan, 15:57
yes, also sorry for my long abstinence... I have to work quite a lot at the moment.. writing a aper and I have no idea what the hell I'm relly writing about. But whatever...
Well, Yvonni, the week was ok I'd say. Herni really came here and tried to convince me that it would be a good thing to come together again and that he is soo sure now about everything and so on. But me, I just realized in this time that I'm just not interested any more. Strange thing that these things can change so "quickly", one day you are so much in love and would do nearly everything to see your "Hasi", some months later you are only bored and he is going on your nerves with all the things he does. Strange, strange.
But the gooood thing is, that I'm really together with Thomas now. I got sure about this thing during Herni was still here. And then we spent Newyear together and a lot more days.. *g*
It's really nice and I hope my stupid mind is not changing its opinion in the next time.
has anybody of you ever been to Lisboa? I'm planning to go there in the beginning of february and would be cool to have information.
And Yvonni, no Peru this february. Finally nobody had time/money to go and also me, the time before to go got less and less and my planning was shit so I decided to do it another time... where you all are coming with me, isn't it???!!! :)
Filakia pola!
Right now I have a break from my great excursion through Münster. It's funny, to go around with a rented bus! Just a bit embarassing!
I would like to now, how your -Geli- week with Henri was, because you didn't really tell us anything. But I have to say, I'm quite interested! And are you going to Peru now?
I should say hello to you all from your friend Norwegian Kristine :)!
She just wrote me a letter yesterday to say hello and to try to excuse her long abstinence. I think she is really happy with her boyfriend again! No comment!!!
Ybovvn - 13. Jan, 16:01
Hi girls!
I just found an e-card with the slogan: Helm auf! (so it's my surname as well!!!) Maintain your brain! (that you should wear a helmet when you go skiing). I like it.
Anyway, you're so funny Finish girl, I like you! And I don't care too much, actually I'm not from Vienna, there's a big difference to the rest of Austria (ok, the public transport is best in Vienna), I don't mind, let Münster win and Helsinki as well, at least there are people living who I like, so it's ok for me.
I don't know why I'm so happy today, I mean, my week of holidays is over and I have to wake up early again, but "24" starts in 30 minutes - jippie. And the sun will be shining tomorrow.
Lots of Hugs! Jutta

Hi Yvonne, here are some nice things that I liked in Prague (I hope I'm not too late with this):
-Petrin's hill (nice wiev)
-Charles bridge (you will go there anyway, without my recommendation)
-The big old castle
- Old graveyard for jewish people (but I wouldn't recommend the museum & the synagogues there; boring, boring, boring)
-etc
There are nice places to drink coffee&beer everywhere but the erasmus-friend of mine who i was visiting, said that if a beer costs more that 25 kc's, you will find cheaper places to drink it. In general the restaurants that are near the castle and Petrin's hill, are more expensive than the ones which are further. I hope this helped you at least a little bit.
btw, i read an article about a study of the public transport in some European cities, and Helsinki won Vienna!!! Hehee :) But unfortunately I don't remember which city has the best public transport, perhaps it is Munster...
Now I'm in a hurry again, bye
Eleni
