Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year! ~♡ ♡ ♡

So.. now it's all over again...

The annual christmas madness and the new year's binge drinkings.

I hope you've all had very nice ones. 

Since for me, it can still only get better each year.

I have to admit, I've enjoyed Christmas Parties back in England, Christmas Parties & - shopping in Luxembourg and Germany very much this year. 

And now it's almost time to go back to the UK already again.. 

Time this vacation really passed so fast for me 

and it just made me realise how much i really love my friends and family.

The more I'm gonna miss them when i'm back for studying I fear...

Well, here are some photos:

We've even met Santa on the EF Christmas Party! 

back home i've really enjoyed being reunited with my friends again (♥´◡｀♥)

especially my best friend Benny ! 

Besides Party I also went shopping on beautiful christmas markets quite a lot! (´･ω･`)

and here the beautiful christmas decoration on the streets, in the mall & at home! 

 

and what would christmas be without the tastiest traditional self-made christmas biscuits? ^.^

we even have a nutcracker, look! 

I wonder if he turns into a prince if i kiss him? *^^*

i've also received some beautiful christmas cards from my lovely friends in spain and japan!

And this was my New Year's Eve! 

(yup, i dyed my hair that day! ^^)

Well, that's how my vacation went so far & i loved it since i've had a pretty exciting one!

I hope you all had an amazing year 2013 as well,

but i also hope you'll have an even more amazing 2014 of course!

Looking Forward Christmas..

I'm sooooo looking forward this christmas vacation, 

you have no idea how exhausted i am from school 

since it lasts from august until now without a single break. 

It is still very different in comparison to school in luxemburg where we have additional holidays and the autumn vacation. 

it just makes it feel like a lot less vacation here in england, 

even though i know it is about the same amount of days we get off.

Since there are the second subject assemblies running at the moment 

and the teachers have to write our second reports school is quite busy as well. 

I just finished a 1000 word essay for TOK about 'knowing through imagination'. 

I'm also looking forward going to japan, see my friends again, 

and of course going back home! ～＼(^o^)／

I have to admit I actually didn't really miss my family awfully much 

but i think it will be nice to see them all again anyway 

(and my beloved dog of course!) 

I spend much free time these days focussing on my school work but as well 

listening to music, watching movies and with my friends. 

it is actually still unbelievable for me i've already made so many friends 

in the short time i'm at EF and i love the fact that they're all international 

since it makes it way more interesting～♪

Here a bunch photos ;3

my new boyfriend.. i call him johnny ;)

last but not least a selfie (of course) (*^^*)♪

if you like the filter i've used on these pictures you should try out the app 'afterlight' - it gives awesome effects and looks to your photos (◕ ‿ - )

Torre Abbey Café - My Very First Article for the Impact Magazine

I'm soo looking forward our first issue of the Impact magazine 

for which i'll write a column about trips you can do in the area of torbay.

So here's a short 'Preview' of what my first article will look like〜

_______________________________________________________________

With Love from the Torre Abbey Café ♡

You still feel a little new and are looking for interesting things to do in Torquay?

Well, this is the absolute right page for you then!

As in the Headline already said, this article is about the Torre Abbey Café which is seriously one of the cutest, most lovely places in whole Torbay! It might be a little hard to find but in the end you'll be absolutely rewarded & it shouldn't be such a big problem with my trip-advising-map.

But first things first! - this is what expects you on my fabulous, cute little place of the week... 

You enter the room and are immediately taken by the comfortable and cozy atmosphere
- just like in grandma's living room! -
As you walk in you start smelling the flavours of coffee, tea and all different types of cake
and when you finally take a seat and notice all the cute, little details it makes you really feel like home.
well for me, there is no better place in whole Torquay for having cream tea & scones then the Torre Abbey Café. But why don't you come and see for yourself?

The Torre Abbey Café ~

just to insure I won't starve :3

It's been 2 weeks now..

.. since i live in england and i think i've got enough time to make a first impression.

it is: absolutely amazing! i love it here- everything (except the very moody weather haha)!

i've met new super friendly people and made friends with them, 

done a lot of crazy things in the time i'm already here and simply enjoyed life. 

here are some pictures of the lovely, little town torquay, 

which the lucky me can call her new home for the next 2 years～♪

isn't it lovely?

i loved the day we went to the big wheel (*´ω｀*)ノ

it definitely gives you the best view over torquay and you can take wonderful photos

(just like me^^)

i definitely recommend you to do this when you come to torbay and the weather is nice. ♪

well, not such a nice part, at least not for me, is the homework i get . 

but i know it needs to be done so i take my time to do it and it's seriously not too difficult. 

yesterday eve we went to the cinema watching insidious 2! ♪

here's the trailer:

(just in case you're interested and haven't seen it yet)

*omg omg omg*

i've screamed like a crazy!

 it was sooo scary, i loved it!! (;;;゛ω゛;;;)

oh! i've also bought a new phone because the old one broke..

(-> i've dropped it in the shower T___T)

and sent post cards & skyped with my friends a lot of course (^_^)v♡

and last but not least my pale, tired face (´ω`)

*just to give you a life sign*

hope this post gave you some kind of impression of where & how i live now..(*´ω｀*)ノシ
