Today I woke up and had breakfast while further preparing the Japanese lesson I was about to have with Junko. Yesterday I had stopped halfway because X came over and we had a long and serious conversation. I had a nice lesson with Junko and afterwards I hung out with X. We took our time for lunch and talked a while longer. We both worked a bit, I made finished a compilation of activities that I did while teaching at ISAM in Lubumbashi Last year. It is now online on my website. X and me are in the strangest situation. It is such an absurd thing and there is too much to say about it. For a large part it concerns me leaving for Berlin next month. We kind of broke up today, but I find myself not taking it seriously. We both kind of refuse to ‘get over’ the other. And I like it that way, because despite believing that it is better for me to be autonomous right now, I do not plan on letting her go.

The past time has been ridiculously intense with emotions, friendship, love, fear, pressure, a booklaunch in a sauna and other things. I don’t think I’ll get to writing all these things down. Also better to get into the blog game slowly again. A funny anecdote: After a pretty long and painful proces my dad was fired from his job of 27 years. The CEO with which he had the biggest problem used to be one of his best friends (before they worked at the same place) and is the godfather of my younger sister. After seeing the letter in which it was officially stated that he was being fired, I joked at the dinnertable that they should send a signed letter to his house announcing his termination as my sisters godfather. To my suprise they were on board and crafted a similar letter that very evening hahaha. They are currently waiting to send it until my fathers payout is in order. For her new godfather my younger sister chose me. ♥
