Annual Wrap up
So this year was busy but not as much as last year. Due to a lot of work I did not travel as much but I managed to go to Abu Dhabi to the book fair and to visit Russel and later to Dubai to attend the literature festival and Art Dubai and see my friends Lotte, Steffi, and Stefan. Additionally, I made a quick trip to Doha and saw Michaela as well as listen in at the Global Art Forum
For Easter I went to Stockholm to see Emma and Daniel which was surprisingly warm so it was possible to spend the days outside in parks and beer gardens. Stockholm is definitely the nicest of all Scandinavian cities that I have visited so far.
This year was the year of my thirties birthday that I celebrated on the island of Langoya in Oslo. It was a great pick-nick with many of my most favorite people around. This day made me very happy.
Ten days later I took a one day trip to Preikestolen in Norway in order to enjoy a view from a cliff that is more than 600 meters high.
Luckily, I could spend a month in summer in Berlin to hang out with my friends and go dancing.
Besides my trips I had a lot of work to do since it is the last year of my PhD writing process. Staying in Oslo for so long made it possible to get to know some more friends that are already now an important part of my life.
For the future I hope that it will be possible to slow it down a little and find more time for fun and hedonism.
I wish you all happy holidays and and a fantastic, happy and healthy year 2012

Dissertation challenge :)
I will not be in real life for the next five weeks. I decided to take the five weeks dissertation challenge. That means five fun weeks of writing, editing, panicking and night shifts. I wonder what that will do to my body and mind.
Happy holidays my friends!
