Life, Death and other important things

Sheer-Khan, a little tiger-cat born last summer, gave birth to two kittens yesterday in front of our house door. One of them was alive, the other dead. An old male cat got hold of the dead one and started eating it while I was preparing a little nest for the mamma and her kid.
Now that's something to deal with at 9am right after waking up...

At 4pm, the world looked a lot friendlier, sitting with friends on the lawn at Perle du Lac with a drink in one hand and my passed history exam in the other. 3rd year is over, all exams passed, nothing to redo in autumn, weird...

Wow, congratulations!!! I never cease to be amazed at how you do it. First you miss a few weeks of your semester. You become OCP of Connect 2006. You are faci here, work there. And pass all your exams. And nailed a cool traineeship (a paid one!) for Summer. All is settled and organized. And are still healthy and sane. Right? Wow :)

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

Friends in words:

Cool swiss blogs and other links:
