Insomnia.

Threeee more days and I'm a freebird. In the meantime i fill my days with staring at my purple wall, turning some pages of Géologie des aquifères, making some refreshing fruit salads, doing my laundry, solving some exercices for "Hydraulique" or "Génie des Procédés", trying not to think about all other erasmusninja's in holidaymodus and every now and then I stretch my legs for a walk in the garden. As you see, I'm more passive than a retired grizzly bear on Prozac and still I can't sleep at night. So annoying, it happens to me all the time in exammodus. I feel as zen as yogateacher during the day but then when I try to sleep I start stressing out. For example stressing out about: "will happen if I don't fall asleep and I will be to sleepy tomorrow to study" or "what if my box of oatmeal will be finished before the exam on tuesday and I don't have time to go for groceries..."  Ridiculous I know, but it's tough material for thought (especially the oatmeal-issue).


 So what to do in examperiods to find sleepiness back:




- physical activity (example: Jogging, very effective but very impossible in this blistering-lazymaking-Montpellier heat)
-watching series (I'm the kind of person who wants to watch 3 episodes in a row if I have access to the whole season, so I fall asleep eventually but somewhere between 2 and 3 am...)
-new since my stay in France: a glass of Muscat before sleepytime! was effective 2 weeks ago but now I think my body got used to it and since I decided to wait with becoming an alcoholist until my midlifecrisis, I refuse to double my Muscat-dosis per evening


So my solution for this insomnia night to come is...              blogging!
I allready apologize for the language errors caused by lack of sleep of previous days and this useless post, had to write some anger off. I maybe think sleep gives me a chance today so sweet dreams and I promise, more interesting news to come after this period of  boredom.


Ps. For all other little silly billies (in exam or holiday modus) who appreciate a new tune every now and then, these music blogs will keep your ears from bleeding:

I've got a date with the niiiiiiiiight

Hello there,
my Erasmus is coming sooo god damn close.
I just can't stop thinking about all the things I have to do before going there. But until the 24th of january all I can do is study all goddamn day long. Yeeeiks. Whatever, I really need to find some list with "what you can't forget to bring on Erasmus or you'll die" and soon !!!!

I thank GOD for inventing texting, twittering, fb and all the shizzle. Otherwise I would have died from NO communication the last few weeks. Yesterday I really laughed my ass of behind my computer just by chatting with another crazy study buddy about how crazy this study stuff is making us. I tell you, it's because of the lack off sleep!!!
One of my best friends told me this afternoon she's going to take me to the train station in Lille the morning I leave (28th january). Cause my parents can't that day. Shame shame shame!!!

Ok, with every day further in this exam period. I'm becoming a little bit more cuckoo.
Think it's time to make some more excersises about "Distillation and Rectification towers" Oh My, sometimes I really wonder where this bio-engineering studies are leading me.

One advice!
Keep Drinking Coffee, it keeps us alive!

Love Luis

Wisdom of the day.

Insane in the membrane.

We're back in Ghent, that is my sister and me. After the christmasdays at home we moved back to studyland. My concentration level during exams has always been at an artic level (read: far below zero). My day goes like this:
I plan to wake up at 8 am, but mostly I wake up around 10 and then realise: "holy moly I already should have studied for two hours now." And then after a superfast poppin' breakfast (love vanilla oatmeal) I start "studying" like a crazy turbo nerd. Around 12 am my brain goes into stand-by modus and decides to take a break. A loooong break mostly. In the afternoon I'm a disaster if it comes to concentration. And by night when it finally get's dark again I can concentrate again. So I stay up too late again and wake up the next morning also way toooo late. So this goes on and on and on. Luckily my sister has a more productive way of studying and we decided to study together in the appartment she lives in (her roommate is at home during the holidays). Crazy hilarious scenarios here during our studybreaks. We brought a longboard from home and sometimes longboard through the hallway (we had to stop it because the neighbours from the floor below asked us what the heck we were doing at 1 am in the morning. woops.). My sister also has this constant urge to clean the appartment, so if you don't mind your step you fall over the vacuumcleaner or get suffocated by a whelm of "Mr. Proper" when you enter the bathroom. And then there's the cooking part of our studytime together, if we don't dance on crazy music during our breakes we create funny recipes in the kitchen. Really we should write a cookbook for (wannabe) insane students.  Ok, now that I've update the world about my new living situation,(Wich is in fact still pretty boring because studying IS boring.) I'm gonna try to stick my eyes to my book and study!

Cheers,
and to all fellow students: I know how it feels (bad bad bad!),
so goooooood luck!

ps. I need a party

Full Nerd Modus, starting now.

Yihaa, the most schizofrenic part of the year is starting. While snowflakes fall from heaven and cute Xmas sceneries take place in all places. Student like me, get the shivers if they think about the amount of unmarked (and in my case unread) weight of paper they have to digest before january. Oh my Oh my. The last deadline for all the tasks this semester is on friday and tomorrow I still have a information session with a professor for a thesis. (Maybe I'm going to Chili or Vietnam #thumbs up) So after all that shizzle, I can finally put on my favourite Pyjama's and headbands (yes I wear headbands when I study, don't judge me for that :p) and start to brrr STUDY. In between I'm shopping Xmas presents like a crazy shopaholic and "hooray hooray" I booked my train to Montpellier. Leaving 28 january! Lots of love, little bit of diesel. Luis

Dance dance dance!

[Lykke Li - Dance Dance Dance] This song is not leaving my mind for weeks now... I guess it's a sign I should share it with the world. Check out her old album people, cuzzz her new one is coming out soon!

Granny.

Yesterdaynight, just when I arrived at the christmas-market, I received a text messages from my mum that my grandmother is in the hospital again. Bam, that's when the good mood went away.
My grandmother or 'mamie' like whe call her, means everything to us. She lives only 5 minutes away from my parents house and since I was 12 I practically lived there. Now that I study in Ghent, every weekend I stay at my grannie's house :-) In our eyes, she's indestructible. She's 80 years old, but she talks non-stop to everyone who crosses her path, she walks from one store to another to get what she needs, she cooks all day long for us, even if we're not hungry. And everyone just keeps saying, calm down. But it's impossible to keep her still. She's just a bizzy bee.

But indestructible grandmothers also seem to have their weaknesses, two weeks ago she had for the first time in the part of her life where she's supposed to be called "an old lady", a bad experience caused to her age. A little stroke in her brains made her end up in the hospital for a week, nothing really bad happened because they were early with her, but still. I just feel that when older people start to struggle with their health, it's a street with no end. So yesterdaynight I heard that she was in the hospital again, a bleeding in her stomach caused by the medication that she takes. I'm really scared that something terrible will happen. And now that I'm leaving on Erasmus, I feel like I'm leaving her alone. She's really holds our family together. We wouldn't know what to do without her. Can't wait to visit her tonight probably she'll just lay their smiling and talking like 2 weeks ago, pretending like she's on a holiday in some fancy resort in the Bahamas. Our 'mamie' you can't not adore her.

hmpfff...

Fall(ing).

 

Because falling's not the problem,
When I'm falling I'm at peace.
It's only when I hit the ground,
it causes all the grief.

I guess it's the weather or just the time of the year that makes me so twisty again.
Do you know that feeling you get when you've got tuns and tuns of things to do, but you just stay in the same place the entire day just nobbing and thinking about how you'd wish your life would be.
That's what I experience on sundays. The rest of the week I don't think and just fall, in and out of life, love, trees and sometimes windows too.
