Note to myself: post more.

So the Edinburgh Film Festival 2014 is in full swing which means my days consist of commuting between the train station, the airport, our registration desk and cinemas. I am volunteering in the same position as last year, so I greet people at the airport/station or just register them/ give them their festival passes. It's good fun, especially because a few of my friends from last year came back again. And I just love this festival.

So far it's been really good being back in Edinburgh. I love the streets at night, being able to walk almost anywhere or just hop on a bus. Having my own kitchen, making my own food (all of this was not happening in Texas) and just being more independent again.
Not just independent, but actually having a room to myself again. It's weird, to be honest.

But that's another story, another post.
I WILL POST MORE, I promise.

Gotta love summer movies.

I love summer movies.
And by that I don't necessarily mean movies that take place in the summer, but movies released in the summer. It seems there is a lightness to them, they are just easy breezy with a good heart. And particularly I am looking forward to these six movies:


I have read the book a while ago and loved it, so I am super stoked for this movie. And I love the actress Shailene Woodley!


Aww, Daniel Radcliff with his English accent. Cute!


The typical summer movie with girls about to go to college. Love it already!


How cool is this idea?


Deep movies about rich kids. haha


Jamie Blackley was at the Film Festival in Edinburgh last year and he is so cute.

I'll be alright.

an updates version of all the states I visited in the US

I really really don't know why I find it so hard at the moment to keep this blog going. I have sooo many pictures to show, so much to tell you. It's just all in my head and doesn't want to get on to this blog for some reason. 

I am back home now, in Germany. My summer plans are similar (if not almost the same) to last summer: Move back to Edinburgh, volunteer at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, then work again at my Fringe job. I am so so so ÜBER excited for the festivals, especially for the film one. The program is out now (click here) and there are great films coming to the festival as well as great people. Elijah Wood, for once- and then Simon Helberg, who plays Howard in the Big Bang Theory. How cool is that?

Other than that, I feel like getting rid of all my stuff. I had so much trouble coming back from the States- excess luggage wherever I went, seriously nice airport staff that didn't charge me for it, but also me leaving SO much stuff in hotel rooms because it just wouldn't fit. Denise called me a hoarder, but I just really don't like wasting stuff. Ugh.

So in a way I am looking forward to Edinburgh and re-moving back in to my room, but this time without unnecessary clutter and all of that. We will see how that goes.

 Okay summer 2014- here is to warm nights, beers in pubs, picnics in parks, making new friends, seeing old ones again, cooking in my own kitchen, gettin rid of stuff, not wearing socks, taking more pictures, watching more movies, discovering more of Edinburgh, mentally preparing for the last year in Scotland, planning da future.

See ya, 'Merica

I am always surprised and shocked about how my mind/body is able to suppress certain memories, events and anything really.
My flight home to Germany leaves in about 17h and I am as calm as ever.
Every time I leave the US on a plane I am more or less sure that there will be a next time. Of course there will be a next trip to this amazing country but I am not sure when this will happen exactly. And in my mind, it will be to stay, for longer than a year at least. But because this is a slightly bigger adventure and needs careful planning (and I need to finish Uni before), I have no idea when I will come here next.
Too scary to think about.

See you guys on the other side!
