Alert: Travel Bug Infection

I'm having extremeeeeely itchy feet.

It's a mistake to put the least important exam at the end of an exam phase. It's even more of a mistake to put the heaviest one right before it. I finished my Pharmacy exam on Friday, and now I have absolutely no movitation left to study for my last test - Radiology.

Instead of studying, I've been rummaging in my HDD for some pictures and came across old travel pics. And now I'm sitting in front of my computer, thinking why the hell I'm stuck the whole weekend in Gießen, doing nothing but staring at books and Radiology websites. (Well I just kind of pigged out on a barbecue with some Vietnamese neighbors for two hours, but that's beside the point. Not what I meant.)

The Elbe river in Dresden - Sometime around March 2014

I never managed to make a post about my Dresden trip. It only lasted for two days, but it was great. I visited Sophie, one of my best friends from high school, who is also a wonderful host.

The famous Semperoper in Dresden

It's sad how I have seemed to forget way too much about that trip. All I remember are bits and parts flashing as copies of those pictures in my mind, and then three things that obviously made an impact: 

1. Watching the Champions League game between Manchester United and Bayern München in a student pub with Sophie - both of us rooting for ManU
2. Having breakfast with Sophie and her 5kg Nutella jar
3. Eating out for Lunch with Sophie and her boyfriend on the day I left, and the restaurant took so long with the food that I missed my train

And of course I failed to take pictures of all that stuff. :( 

Except for the Nutella, of course. Notice how the Nutella jar is bigger than the 1 liter water kettle?

For the next trips, I definitely have to take more pictures. And after taking them, I have to put them on a platform I frequent more than my HDD. It kinda worked with Paris, and especially my Vietnam trip last year. I'm still relishing the memories everytime I see the pictures.

Anyway, what I really want to say with this entry is: I'm re-infected with the travel bug. Strasbourg is coming up in a few days, but there's still a Radiology exam between now and Strasbourg, and that's pissing me off. 

Even worse, I know what's waiting for me in the coming six months. Lab work. Work that will cuff me to watching over some brain cells and restrict me from seeing the world. Do I need to say more? 

Zero motivation for doing anything routine-ish right now. Stupid, stupid travel bugs. Now's so not the right time to make me sick. :(

I just want to chill, okay?

Quick update on my life

Before my blog dies, I'm taking a few minutes to just update what's going on in my life nowadays.

I'm studying. Exams next week, this time we have 6 of them in 2 weeks and I'm soooo behind. I think this is the first time I indeed feel a little panicked inside... I don't know why I started studying/revising for the exams so late when I really planned to start early at the beginning of the semester. Looking back at the past few months, I don't know where my time went. T_T

Well, for sure, one weekend was well-spent in Paris. I can't complain.

This be the Notre Dame. 

The view from Arc de Triomphe on the Avenue des Champs-Élysées. Beaurrrrifurl :3

And a classic Eiffel Tower picture, too, of course.

My God, Paris is so dreamy. Next to Amsterdam and Hamburg, it has definitely become one of my favorite European cities. ♥.♥

On a completely different note, Germany is so gonna win the World Cup this time! I'm gonna watch the final with some friends in a pub this evening. Can't wait for it. My books just have to accept being abandoned for an evening. 

I gotta get back to studying now. Maybe I'll come back for some ETAs later. :)
