"Tell me something about your Art Project, pleeeease!" - "Ok, whatever."

While I'm trying to confrontate myself as much as possible with English to get prepared for the exam, I realize one thing: I can not force myself to love this language again.

But,of course there is a solution. One idea came into my mind: combining two things I love doing with English: Drawing and writing short stories. About one and a half years ago I even dreamt of becoming an author. I applied for the course "Sprachkünste" at the University of Art in Vienna, but I wasn't one of the lucky fifteen out of about 500(!) appliers. I'm actually glad about that - I don't like Vienna that much and, probably even more important, walking that path would have led me nowhere. ;)

I just somehow feel like I lost my creativity during the last year in Graz. Maybe the reason was the absence of time. I remember spending much time on drawing, writing English poems, analyzing song lyrics and so forth as a pupil of the HTL (during boring lessons - so maybe it's the lack of boredom :P )

So my plan for the future is to not let any exam or other pressure take away my passion of expressing myself through language in a playful way. I hardly doubt any professor would want me to lose this passion - ignoring it and letting it sleep was my own fault, of course. But it's time to wake it up again.

That's what I call my little "Art Project". I come up with short stories, poems or just crazy nonsense, draw a quick sketch that introduces the topic and publish both here at the blog. Many ideas in my head, nothing yet falling into place. I hope this will work :D

All in all a wonderful activity I look forward to do. The last few days I spent on reading a 700 pages book about American history (and believe me when I say I'm far from finishing it  :D ). Don't get me wrong, it is interesting. But.. time consuming :D

So, nothing more to say.

I wish you.. actually I don't exactly know what I could wish you cause I don't know what time it is when you read this. So it might be stupid to wish you a good night, even though I'm really tired and ready for bed. You know what - I wish you a wonderful moment, right now, and please, do me one favour: smile :)

Yours,
