Student protests in Austria are ongoing and rapidly spreading all over Europe – looks like we have to keep the spirit burning at least until Christmas. Many people will go home to see their families and celebrate. I don’t feel like celebrating this year, well, every year, I’d say. Buying presents for people I don’t care about, singing songs that already now are causing this certain ringing in my ear … Not very promising, altogether.
What I’d like to do for Christmas Eve: go to my appartment, sit there all alone and watch a candle burning from the beginning to the very end. Or, if no candle is available, just meditate over the – then almost – past year. I think I’ll do that and save some money I don’t have to spend …
Every day there are more reported cases of Swine Flu, but me, I’m not sick yet. It’s actually quite cozy here at the moment although I’m busy over my books. Hopefully I’ll pass that exam on Thursday, and yes, hopefully those 2 days all on my own will do to make the appartment look all neat and tidy and clean.
