And still, what am I doing here?! - a small note for those, who have not heard about the recent story of my life.

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

let's be sincere from the very beginning and confess: If anyone would tell me around 2 years ago, that I would be kicking myself this hard to learn German, a language which I considered one of the ugliest in whole world (I have to apologise for that. Luckily my opinion about it appeared to be completely wrong, but let's talk about this some other time), I would laugh at that persons face and recommend to wake up from the dream. but as old and shabby proverb states: ''never say never'' as life has proved me it may all turn out unexpectedly different from what you may imagined from your life.

So here comes the stream of unbelievable developments within last year:

1. I fell in love with a German boy, who is the main line in my life now ( Again, I could believe anything happening to me, but not this. Whoever knows me can say I don't lie when I say that I love everything planned in life. This definitely was not included in my plans)

2. Once I fell from head to toe, I decided to try a bit of German just for entertainment. And that's where it began. I should take back all the crap I have talked about this language throughout my life. Honestly, it is detailed, beautiful, polite, warm, precise - all at the same time. It doesn't allow you even slight mistakes as it can change whole meaning. My conclusion about it is the following: you either speak correct Deutsch or you don't speak it at all. There is no middle way.  As everything in my life I took it as a challenge and here I am in Köln - Carl Duisberg Centren, learning it again.

3. Due to the 1st point of this post, the only country I applied for my master studies was Germany. (Even though I always thought my heart belonged to UK,) I even tried a year before and got admitted by Essex University, but that's where I say that fate played a big role and I happened to be in South Africa for Pictet competition and I missed my interview for scholarship. Thus, my dream of studying in the foggy island got naturally postponed.

4. Plan to study in Germany didn't appear so easy as through the tough competition on DAAD-OSI scholarship, I ended up in waiting list. I never gave up on my aim, and kept on studying German in Goethe Institute which is amazing centre for studying languages.

5. Then, Some winners of the DAAD-OSI scholarship over-thought their decision of coming to learn in Germany and that's how I got in. I never regretted of putting so much effort in my dream and simply pursuing it. Neither did now. I am not big fan of Paulo Coelho writings, but this one I find inspiring and fit to constant motivation: ''when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.''

4. The University I am going to do my master studies is called Albert Ludwigs University of Freiburg. It's enlisted among top 100 universities of world. But most of what I care is that I am gonna spend 2 beautiful years in a very lovely, very friendly, very green city on the border of Switzerland and France. 

Life couldn't have been more gifting to me . 

I am thankful for each opportunities I got in life and hopefully this blog will prove its readers ( I don't expect them to be lot :D) how fun life can be when u just enjoy it as it is!. 

So, auf wiederhören,
Tschöööö :))
