I guess today I passed the first of the three tests which I have to do this week... *sighs*.... I hope my luck will last :o) The test was not that bad, there was just one out of eleven tasks which I couldn't answer... so keep your fingers crossed and hopefully the 10 tasks left were answered correctly by me :o) Tomorow's test should not be that hard either, actually I'm most afraid of the test on Wednesday, about Scotland. I loved the seminar (*waves frantically to Nikki*) but it is so much to remember. *mutters* Bonnie Prince Charlie. Born 1720 in Rome. Died January 31st 1788 in Rome. Brought up Roman Catholic. Landed at Glenfinnan in 1744. Fought battle in Edinburgh with 2500 men and won. Was defeated at Culloden little later. Fled and spent most of his time in exile Jeez and that's only the top of the iceberg ... *sighs*

On the contrary, I want to thank you guys for the lovely comments on my writing-debacle-depression-thing ... you truly know how to cheer someone up, dears! *hugs*

I'm on page 100 of "Fellowship of the Ring" now ... must say, I was rather surprised how easy it is to read in English. I thought Harry Potter was more difficult. Anyway, now that I read it for the 2nd time, it's quite strange ... cause EVERY page is like an epiphany to me. It's no longer just a book to me ... it's my ticket to Middle-Earth... strange hm? Anyway I can't express how glad I am that I finally managed to "unlock" Tolkiens style and learn to love it ... if you follow me *wink*

And one great song...

Full Of Grace - Sarah McLachlan


The winter here's cold, and bitter
it's chilled us to the bone
Haven't seen the sun for weeks
to long too far from home
I feel just like I'm sinking
and I claw for solid ground
I'm pulled down by the undertow
I never thought I could feel so low
oh darkness I feel like letting go

If all of the strength and all of the courage
come and lift me from this place
I know I could love you much better than this
full of grace
full of grace
my love

So it's better this way, I said
having seen this place before
where everything we say and do
hurts us all the more
its just that we stayed, too long
in the same old sickly skin
I'm pulled down by the undertow
I never thought I could feel so low
oh darkness I feel like letting go

If all of the strength
and all of the courage
come and lift me from this place
I know I could love you much better than this
full of grace
full of grace

my love
