The Sunday Post #10 – A Long Week!

The Sunday Post #10 – A Long Week!

The Sunday Post #10 – Weekly Wrap-up Welcome to my weekly wrap-up post. I am signing up with Kimba over at The Caffeinated Reviewer, who is hosting this weekly event. This week feels like it’s been going on forever! On Monday when I got home from class, I felt great, then suddenly my sinuses started hurting and I felt pretty sick instead. The rest of the week I’ve been fighting a sinus infection, while still having loads of things to do and no real chance for rest. I did manage to read some great books, though, so I guess that’s a nice bonus to a week that wasn’t the best ever. I haven’t even started my Christmas shopping yet, and […]

The Sunday Post #9 – Finally Got my Diploma!

The Sunday Post #9 – Finally Got my Diploma!

The Sunday Post #9 – Weekly Wrap-up Welcome to my weekly wrap-up post. I am signing up with Kimba over at The Caffeinated Reviewer, who is hosting this weekly event. This past week was pretty amazing! I finally got my Bachelor’s diploma, as the official ceremony was this past Monday. It’s so nice to be able to touch it, see it, and know that I’ve been able to sign up to be a substitute teacher now. I’ll hopefully be able to find a position for about four hours per week in a high-school close to my home starting in January. Can you tell how excited I am? We don’t do the capes and hats here in Switzerland, but we did […]

Sunday Post #8 – Concert

Sunday Post #8 – Concert

The Sunday Post #8 – Weekly Wrap-up Welcome to my weekly wrap-up post. I am signing up with Kimba over at The Caffeinated Reviewer, who is hosting this weekly event. This week was another good week, I had things ready for my classes, and I had a date with my husband and Lenny Kravitz on Tuesday 😀 It’s the third time we’ve seen LK in concert, and while he is always awesome on stage, we were both a little disappointed, because they were have a total jam-session with every single song on the set-list. Which means that for a concert that lasted just over two hours, we got maybe only 15 songs.     This week’s posts: This week’s reviews: […]

The Sunday Post #7 – Visit from my mom

The Sunday Post #7 – Visit from my mom

The Sunday Post #7 – Weekly Wrap-up Welcome to my weekly wrap-up post. I am signing up with Kimba over at The Caffeinated Reviewer, who is hosting the Sunday Post every week. This week has been pretty good, I’ve advanced some in the stuff I have to read for classes, and I have started to think more about my MA thesis as well. My mom arrived on Thursday, and is leaving later today. It’s so nice to see her again! We have always gotten along really well, and we’ve had a great time. Yesterday, we went to a sound and light performance at the university, and it was spectacular. It was about the planets, science and evolution, and both the […]

The Sunday Post #6

The Sunday Post #6 – Weekly Wrap-up Welcome to my weekly wrap-up post. I am signing up with Kimba over at The Caffeinated Reviewer, who is hosting this weekly event. This past week was pretty good, I was able to catch up for my classes once they started again, and I read some pretty awesome books as well. On Friday, I watched the If I Stay movie with my oldest daughter, and man how we both cried. I really enjoyed the movie a lot, it was pretty close to what happened in the book, and that’s always a plus. The one thing that was different from the book, though, was what Adam said to Mia while she was still in […]

The Sunday Post #5 – ‘Reading’ Week

The Sunday Post #5 – ‘Reading’ Week

The Sunday Post #5 – Weekly Wrap-up Welcome to my weekly wrap-up post. I am signing up with Kimba over at The Caffeinated Reviewer, who is hosting this weekly event. Life in general: This past week, I didn’t have any classes, it’s called the ‘reading’ week, kind of to help us read some of the things we haven’t had time to keep on top of during the semester so far. And I had planned on finishing the book I have on Semantics, as well as reading the rest of The Faerie Queene so I’d be all ready for next week. I also wanted to read an article on verb-movement in Faroese, because I have to hand in a paper on […]

The Sunday Post #3 – Weekly Wrap-up

The Sunday Post #3 – Weekly Wrap-up Welcome to my weekly wrap-up post. I am signing up with Kimba over at The Caffeinated Reviewer, who is hosting this weekly event. This past week I didn’t really do much here on (un)Conventional Bookviews, as we were in Spain for our fall vacation. We had awesome weather, and I swam in the Mediterranean every day. We also managed to find some really nice restaurants, where we had tapas, local wine and other goodies. Now, we’re back home where it’s pretty cold and gloomy, but it’s OK, since we’re all stocked up on sun 🙂   This week’s posts: This week’s reviews: What have you been up to this past week? Don’t forget […]

The Sunday Post #2

The Sunday Post #2 – Weekly Wrap-up Welcome to my weekly wrap-up post. I am signing up with Kimberly over at The Caffeinated Reviewer, who is hosting this weekly event. I had so much fun with last week’s post, and I really want to thank both Kim and all the other bloggers who welcomed me with open arms. Yet another reason to love the blogging community! I had a pretty busy week with classes this past week, but yesterday morning, we (husband plus our two youngest kids) left for Spain for a week of relaxation in the Sun. And the weather is truly gorgeous. It’s still warm enough to swim in the sea, and there is hardly any other tourists […]
