4 things sun... okay, tuesday # 6

This is a little challenge I'm doing each week. Every Sunday (we'll just pretend it's Sunday, okay?) I decide on 4 simple little goals I'd like to achieve in the coming week. I'm not talking about graduating university or buying a house. These are little challenges, challenges I really can accomplish and which will help me to make my life just a tad more organized. Do you want to take part as well?


Here are my 4 things for this week:

* Study for the two exams that are coming up.
* Drink Glühwein on the christmas market at least once.
* Decorate our apartment for advent.
* Read at least 15 pages on the paper about atomic law.

How did I do last week?

* Write two applications for an internship next year. *Check!*
* Buy 3 christmas gifts.*Check!*
* Write four letters. *Check!*
* Clean my desk - at least a little bit! *Check!*

What are your goals for next week? And did you do better than I did last week? Leave a comment or write a post on your own blog and leave a link, I'd love to know!

Look what I received! Advent Calendar update

Look what I just got in the mail!

I mean, I knew that Aya had already sent her package - but that was on Saturday (well, the post was on Friday, that's right, but the sticker said November 17th - and now it's November 20th! So, I guess it came flying here on Sunday, then got send from Frankfurt to Saarbrücken yesterday and I received it today in the morning at 11 am)! Who knew that the package would travel all the way from Japan to Germany in only 4 days with a weekend in between? I am amazed. Not only by the travel speed, but also by the package itself! Let's have a look at it...

First, I took off all the papers because I don't want to show either mine nor Ayas address here :)

After taking of the wrapping paper and the bubble wrap I came to see this christmas themed box...

The first look inside!

After taking out the goodies from her "Fumi no hi" giveaway project which lucky me won :) I am so looking forward to December now! And it's all wrapped beatifully :)

Sadly, I can't unwrap all the presents by now... But I had a look at the goodies she sent me! Ooooh I was jumping around with excitement :)

70 paper stamps to use as letter seals or in scrapbooking projects.

A few (some of them self-adhesive) labels - aren't they lovely?

At first I wasn't quite sure what this flower is....

but it's a neat stationery! You can unfold it and then there's writing space inside :)

Christmas themed stickers!

I love these! I just realized that you can't really see that much here - these are some envelopes and postcards and there's also lots of writing paper in the backe (you can see some of it next to the moomin-envelopes. I'm so looking forward to writing letters with this!

Can you see what this is? It's washi tape! Oh my, I am so incredibly happy. 

Aya also included a brochure with many nice pictures of Japan (the leaves are so colorful!) but the photo turned out very blurry, so I can't show it here.

I am so so happy with the package! Thank you so much Aya! And I'm so much looking forward to the Calendar now!

Did you already receive your calendar?

Alles Liebe, Caddi

4 things sunday # 5

This is a little challenge I'm doing each week. Every Sunday I decide on 4 simple little goals I'd like to achieve in the coming week. I'm not talking about graduating university or buying a house. These are little challenges, challenges I really can accomplish and which will help me to make my life just a tad more organized. Do you want to take part as well?


Here are my 4 things for this week:

* Write two applications for an internship next year.
* Buy 3 christmas gifts.
* Write four letters.
* Clean my desk - at least a little bit!

Do you notice something? Yes, those are the exact same things like last week - because I really failed at most of them. I still didn't write the applications - but I spoke to someone who might just get me an internship without having to write an application. I bought one christmas gift for my boyfriend, but that's about it - but I developed some more ideas. I wrote some letters (I finished two and am in the process of writing a third one), but I didn't get them ready to send yet - they still need their envelopes and everything. And lastly, while I did clean my desk a little bit, it's already a mess again (I've seen some of you guys posting photos of your "messy desk" - that's nothing! I'd be happy if my desk looked like that after it's cleaned. But hey, I can see some wood of the desk through all the stuff which is piled on it, so it's not that bad, right?). I'm frustrating chaotic.

What are your goals for next week? And did you do better than I did last week? Leave a comment or write a post on your own blog and leave a link, I'd love to know!
