last day in Brussels

tonight at 23:oo the eurolines bus will take me away from brussels to berlin. yeah, at last? well, actually it is a little sad. i met some people in the last two days, which made me think, i could spend a bit longer time, there are so many interesting people around. and berlin and everything which is awaiting me is far from being quiet and peaceful. it will be emotional, seeing my family in about 2 weeks. i bought the ticket by the way, and if you are lucky to be still young and 24 you can get the ticket (Mos-Tas-Berlin) for only 465,07 €. then all my visions about my border research..., this is going to gtake quite a lot of time, energy and heat-resistance. for tomorrow, in berlin, i have millions of things to do. i hope i will be fit enough for that.
well, yeah, have to save documents on a CD now, and go packing. and people who know me very well, they know that i usually carry stones, kilogrammes of books and reading material. i cant help it. i did get rid of about 25% of things. but i am in the process of thesis writing, i need my readers.

okay, i stop now, and start getting ready to leave this, now sunny city.

need advice

I have to start writing my thesis, i have piles of things to read, and i have a long list of things to be found and read; and something inside me and outside says i have to start writing this bloody thesis, and stop speculating too much. but HOW? does anyone know? people, who have experienced writing, can you please give some advice? i badly need it.

going mad in brussels

i dont know what to do with my frustration.
there are many things i dont like about brussels. but hallo, i was trying to like it. i was trying not to blame every shit on this city, but sometimes i just want to let my frustration off something. sorry this is the time.
3 times have i been to ULB library here, each time i was almost exploding with anger and frustration. i wont tell you about previous times, this will just kill me.
this time, everything started at the tramstop. tram 94, the one i need, didnt show up, i had to wait 20 minutes, so i just took 92 to Louise hoping to get 94 from there, maybe this tram is too lazy to come to Congres. well, thank god it appeared after another 25 minutes of waiting. when i was at the library, and found one of the 3 books, someone in french declared something, but from the tone of the voice i could feel, that this is nothing nice like "nafisa here is your book feel free and study". it was 17:00, and the library is shut at this time. i hurried downstairs (there is the machine where u scan the books, just like in fulda)to borrow the ones i found. but, this machine is turned off at 16:30, and i have to go back tomorrow to take those books. isnt it amazing???!!! i just couldnt help looking aggressive at a nice smiling face of the gentleman. i forced myself to say thank you, and have something like a smile on my face. all i wanted to do is scream at his face, but damn it is not his fault, this weirdest library, i have every seen, shuts so early.
it is pouring now. enough summer folks!

Praha

Somehow semi-consciously i got into the plain, which took me to Prague, with no cash in my pocket, and thoughts in my head all about my laptop being in the luggage, which i had to check in, and my precious thesis thoughts under the risk of getting ruined in it.
when i arrived, i realized i didnt know where to go. i knew i was staying in the dorm, i didnt know the name of the dorm, nor the name of the university it belonged to, nor the name of the street it was situated on. i had nothing. i set down, unpacked my backpack. aha, what have i got here, cool, the dorm is close to the restaurant, where we gonna have breakfast, Na farme (which, as i've learnt later, meant on the farm) Kamycky 129, Praha 6. i showed this piece of paper to various people trying to speak russian, english and german to them, some of them spoke none, some did speak english, but they didnt know where it was. i found a lady in the information desk, she searched in her computer for a while, and then took a piece of paper and wrote something, and starting explaining to me in a manner my english teacher in the sixth form used to teach us to pronounce sentences, very slowly and monotoneously. i enjoyed these 7 minutes, which felt like an eternity.
found the bus. bought the ticket 20 CHK. it was a good strategy to find the dorm through the restaurant.

another funny thing was the story with a cash-machine. i was overly happy to find not only one but three cash machines all situated in 20 centimeteres from each other. i inserted my card. wow, it worked. but what the hell is that?! 200 CHK, 500 CHK 1000 CHK 1500 CHK, is it a lot? how much do i need? how much does one need? how much is 200 CHK? well i withdrew 500, but later i had to go back to withdraw more, because it turned out to be only 20 euro.
i was supposed to get off in the Namesti something (means Square), the lady in the information desk wrote that. i couldnt properly read her handwriting, even if i could i didnt know how to pronounce it properly, so i just showed my little piece of paper to the driver. he said he knew the place. we were driving and driving, fewer and fewer people left in the bus, in a while i noticed we were out of town. the bus stopped, and the driver looked at me giving the sign that that was the square. i got off with the confused feeling about czech architecture. all i could see was a huge field and a lady crossing road. she couldnt speak none of the languages i can speak. i can speak a lot (in comparison to the average) but damn this is so little at times. well anyway, she sent me in a different direction. it took me almost an hour to go back to right place. i somehow found it. there were many kind people who sincerely tried to help this poor little girl with a heavy luggage (so typical me).
got to know the people, some central asians, some australians, canadians, and eastern europeans. a nice team. after a nice dinner, i went to the dormitory, which is a real luxury. loads of furniture, it has a really home-like feeling, pretty cosy.

had a nice walk in the prague city centre, and in the charles bridge. so far i like the city a lot... and people seem to be very happy with their lives...
hi to everyone from rainy but still lovely prague
