1:0 and 3:1

What???? The Netherlands just got kicked out of the worldcup??? How was that possible?
Ok, ok, I admit, I was never a big fan of football, and when I was still in exams period I didn't really like the football parties going on in and around our house, but now that I don't have to study for an exam the next morning while others are dancing samba everything's different. And I mean, I'm also proud that Switzerland has made it so far... come on, we the sailing nation aren't really the best when it comes to football, hahaha... It would actually be cool to go watch Switzerland-Ukraine tomorrow on the Plaine de Plainpalais, but I've already subrented my room in Geneva and am enjoying the simple life at my parents place... helping my dad to get full honeycombs from the beehouse, making sure I don't get stung is only one of the exciting adventures of farm life ;-)

I've also enjoyed the good news about Sheer-Khan. You remember that I had left him last Wednesday with one kitten dead and one alive to go collect my marks in Geneva. Well, when I was coming home the other day my dad told me about "the three kitten", so she had gotten two more after I left her. Cats are in labor for a long time usually so it's completely normal, but it improved her score of course :) Her three kids are doing very well for now, all tiny and eyes still closed, all of them completely black, so if you want to have a cute little cat we might give some away ;-)

THIS IS: a personal logbook, capturing experiences, rencontres, thoughts and ideas; a way to stay in touch with family and friends, letting them know where I am, what I'm doing and how I feel I AM: a swiss farm girl, somehow studying at the Institute of International Studies in Geneva right now, but I spent half of last year in India, working and travelling I LIKE: cats, Lindor chocolate, books that make me forget the world around me, playing around with html, getting hugged, drinking milk coffee, meeting new interesting people, talking to friends and living live consciously I DON'T LIKE: the "skin" on the milk coffee, arrogant people, not getting noticed, if life's only a big blur
