Summer Holiday Books

Summer is approaching even though it still snows occasionally.
This year, summer means three long months of doing absolutely nothing. Or well, not nothing, there will be lots and lots of reading..and of course sunbathing and swimming and enjoying :)

This year I'm going to be away for 5 long weeks. Which normally would mean that I need 30 books. Now we all know that I can't take 30 books with me..my suitcase isn't that big!. But I thought that I could get away with ten books...one in my handbag, two in my hand-luggage and so on....

So now the excruciating task of setting books aside begins. They have to be:
  • Quite small 
  • Not too heavy
  • Bubbly and perfect summer reads
  • Interesting
  • And I need diversity..
So the first book I'm going to set aside is The Not-So Secret Diary of a City Girl by Allie Spencer  it is a Little Black Dress book, perfect for my handbag. It will be the first to the hopefully growing stack of books on my windowsill..taunting me when I'm bored........

Good Cop, Bad Cop

I didn't get my usual Summer-job. Which is actually very bad news. I've already booked my Summer vacation and now I don't have the money!!! :(
Well, some of you might ask why I booked my vacation already if I was unsure about the money. Lets say it this way:




This I shot today on my balcony. It has looked more or less like this since the beginning of december. And it has been cold, very cold. And, get this, its snowing again!! Apparently its going to be even colder yet again. I can't take it anymore! I'm serious. So, that's why I booked my Summer vacation, warmth, beach, SUN!
So, now I have two options.
  1. Look for another Job, which probably is going to be very very very difficult, because I've only a few weeks off before going away on vacation and who wants to hire someone for just a few weeks, when they can get someone for the whole Summer? Just wondering. And it should be close to where I live, otherwise all the money will be spent on travelling to and from work. So, it doesn't look good, really.
  2. Stop buying books!! I probably wouldn't survive...
So, what else is new?

  • I've applied for a 5 week internship at the same library I was almost caught as a stalker last week. What irony.
  • I handed in my report yesterday
  • Lets hope I can deal with the public humiliation on tomorrows and Fridays seminaries..normally I don't handle these very well, lets hope this time is different..
  • I've only two episodes of NCIS Los Angeles left to watch :(
