New Years Meme shamelessly stolen from ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) evenstar_estel
1. What did you do in 2004 that you'd never done before?
Visit Crete, had my final exams ever (at least within biochemistry since I think about studying some semester medicine too)
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Hadn't any, I promised I'll be nicer to the bf since I was very bitchy this year due to extreme stress...
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Yes, friends of us. They live only a block away and married before. They now have a beautiful baby-boy. I'm slightly greeny-eyed, don't tell the bf ^.~
4. Did anyone close to you die?
No, but the mum of one of my closests friends became a very bad cancer.. they still fear for her life...
5. What countries did you visit?
poland, austria, greek, spain, and czech republic and within the next month netherlands
6. What would you like to have in 2005 that you lacked in 2004?
time, a job, money... I never had a lot but I fear I won't find a job or better a place were I can make my doctor. Starting yesterday germany shortened (now about: 331euro/person) the income for everyone depending on social systems. That includes my parents. They worked hard all there life and it makes me sad and angry that now they will have nearly no money to live and that I can't help them...
7. What date from 2004 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
Probably the last week of december when I watched the news and saw the first pics of the Tsunamis.. I'm still to shocked about the daily increasing numbers of death people and I wish I could do more then donate money.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Probably taking my final diploma exams although I think I did ok it's well within the middle field and I don't have hopes for any stipendium...
9. What was your biggest failure?
besides being shitty to the bf, that my final exams weren't good enough to give my future more security (and that some of the worst students I ever knew did better then me because they shamelessly flirted with the profs assistent...)
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
the first two weeks of decemeber I was ill nearly all the time with high fever (which is a very bad thing for me) and I couldn't speak most of the time.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
new pair of shoes.. I love them, I wear them all the time, oh and hopefully the christmas present I got for the bf.. he seemed to like it ^.^
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
All the people that helped within the tsunami crisis and all the people around the world who donated money, sometimes although they don't have much themselves. All the american people that did their best to support anti-bush in the election.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
George Walker Bush

Rent

Olympic Games

39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2004:
Don't trust in people...
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
That would be "Wir sind Wir" by Wolfsheim ["We are we"]. It's a song that covers the feelings of most east-germans, about how really nothing got better during the last fifteen years like we originally hoped, but everything just changed. But we shouldn't loose hope, we survived so far and we will do so in the future...
"Auferstanden aus Ruinen dachten wir wir hätten einen Traum vollbracht.
Vierzig Jahre zogen wir an einem Strang, aus Asche habn wir Gold gemacht. Nun ist mal wieder alles anders und was vorher war ist heute nichts mehr wert.
Jetzt könn' wir haben was wir wolln, aber wollten wir nicht eigentlich viel mehr?
Und ich frag, ich frag mich wer wir sind.
Wir sind wir, wir stehn hier.
Wieder eins in einem Land, Superreich und Abgebrannt.
Wir sind wir, wir stehn hier.
So schnell kriegt man uns nicht klein, das kanns doch nicht gewesen sein.
Wir sind Wir, wir stehn hier, wir sind wir."[quote="Wings"][b]Introduction[/b]
I wish you all a happy New Year! May the next be nicer to mankind... |
