Monthly Rewind

May

My Pic of May

Spring, even though it was neither warm nor sunny, is Strawberry time! I do not need a lot of fruits but berries, especially strawberries, and peaches are those I am always looking forward to. My favorite way to eat strawberries is with caster sugar. If you haven't tried it you really should. 

May in One Word 
Studying

I spent most of May studying for two difficult exams I had. I did hardly anything else so there is no better word to describe the month.

3 Things that Happened in May 

1. My best friend and I went to the David Garrett concert - it was incredible. If you want to know more about it, you can read my gushy post here. 
2. My mum and I went to see the new Star Trek Into Darkness film. As an old Trekkie I loved it!   
3. The new Lady Antebellum album hit the shelves in May and it is as good as the others. I can't get enough.

  a TV series I liked this month

I started watching Parenthood and flew through the first season in two or three days. It is a drama series starring Lauren Graham, Peter Kraus and so many other good actors. I really like the storyline and the setting. I cannot believe it took me so long to discover Parenthood.

 3 Random Things I (Re-)Discovered/Liked this Month 

1. I really missed the quality time I spend with my friend's baby boy every week during the two weeks I didn't see him in May.
2. Before one of my exams my (special) calculator broke and I called an old friend and she immediately agreed to borrow me hers. I still can count 100% on my friends and that means the world to me. 
3. I discovered how many unread books I have on my shelf and started reading a lot more books from my TBR pile and stopped buying so many. 

 

Things I'm Looking Forward to in June

• My mum and I will be in Berlin at the beginning of June. I cannot wait to go there again after 8 years. Berlin is a wonderful city full of life and there's so much to discover there.
• Two of my friends will celebrate their birthday this month with a small BBQ. 
• At the end of June my mum, aunt and my two uncles will celebrate their birthdays (that were all in March) with a party.
• The university semester will end at the end of June and my three months of summer holidays will beginn.
