Nostalgia - Part I

As was to expect with all the stress I have at the moment, I became ill and am now at home, trying to get well. I made one mistake. I went to lay down and listend to the soundtrack of "Walk the Line", the music I had listend to during my first weeks in Aberdeen when I was ill too. Of course, a lot of memories came back, one of which was the night we went to see the film at the cinema - it took us one hour to go there and one to come back. I became very sad and got up to see some of the pictures I normally don't dare to look at because they make me so sad. Not because the memories are bad, but because they are so good. I have never had so many good moments in such a short time as during the first half of this year. That's why I thought I could share some of these moments with you.



Walking to the Ceilih (or however you write it) on a nice evening, with the first flowers in Seaton park blooming.



Lunch on the cliffs on the Orkneys. It was cold and wet, I became ill afterwards and could not go to the Shetlands, but it was a day I will remember forever, because with Melanie, Fabio and Elisa I had the best company I could think of.



For many reason, this moments could have been a horrible one. I knew I would see nothing for two more days because Ben stepped on my glasses, it was cold and wet, all the others were on a nice tour through the hills around Loch Lomond. Still, it was one of the best moments I had. Elisa offered to stay with me and I realised how great a friend I had won.



This is on the bus to St. Andrews. I decided to sit next to the funny and pretty Finish girl. We started to talk about what music we like (although I don't think Henriikka was very impressed by my taste) and about various other things. At the end of the day I knew yet another person whom I felt great sympathy for.



I have always regretted to have gone home to Switzerland in May and to have missed a whole week with you! The evening after I came back we had a great dinner (I made it, hehe) at Elisa's and Carmina's place. I was so happy and so sad at the same time, because I knew that in 10 days we would have to say goodbye.



While you were exploring the rather boring Stirling castle, the Malaisian girl and me decided to have a cup of coffee instead. We started joking and taking stupid pictures with the wooden spoons. I didn't know then that it would become a running gag that Deb and me would go for food and coffee while others increaded their history knowledge.



The first two weeks I was still feeling homesick. This changed when Carmina and Elisa came to cook dinner for Jonathan and me. It was the first of many dinners with the two amazing Spanish girls, the best Italian flatmate and me. Now they were home for me.

Well, whomever I have not mentioned here, don't worry, there will be a part two of this post. Of course I will make a declaration of love to all of you!
