Happy Christmas & a Merry New Year!

Pine scent from the Christmas tree fills the living room I'm sitting in with my macbook on my lap, a cup of chai tea in my hand and a plate of home made christmas biscuits in front of me. ~ Yes, I'm typing with one hand. ~ The Christmas days are just over and I'm the most relaxed I've been in quite a while, hence finally writing this blog post.
But I don't wanna waste this post to bore you talking about all the stuff I've been busy with, instead, I wanna wish you a belated Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year (as I most likely won't post before the 1st of 2017 anymore)!

And coming to speak of the new year, I have so many resolutions:
- to expect less & prepare more
- to judge less & respect more
- to complain less & thank more
- to regret less & smile more
- and of course to travel more :)

What are your new years resolutions? 

And did you have any snow for Christmas where you live?

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 (◕ ‿ - )

☆Summer Vacation 2013～ Madrid ☆

this post will be about my summer trip to madrid where i went to visit some friends.

well, after this trip i can clearly say it is one of the most beautiful cities i've ever been to and definitely always worth a journey... 
(ok i admit, it also was one of the hottest cities i've ever been to ^^...  43°C --- ahhh!! )´0`()

here are my photos to proof it ;)

Madrid, i'm coming! (^ ^) 

my outfit of the day of arriving - look at my huge luggage case omg! (>o<)

i look like a ghost lol (･ω･*

we were so lucky with the hotel since it was just at the gran via, 

one of the hot spots of madrid nightlife right in the centre of the city~ ♬
