At Last: Sarah's Secret Santa Present (SSSP)

I planned to do that right after Christmas, but excuse-excuse-excuse-too busy-no time-abroad-excuse and so I've decided to finally post this today. (Actually it mostly failed so far because I was too lazy to take pictures. Shame on me.)

I got my SSSP from Ali (and James) :) I got two packages from Amazon, one was nicely wrapped (I didn't know they actually wrap it so nicely) and one was not wrapped, but had a sticker on the box saying "This is a gift for you" or something like that, so I knew not to open it too early (and Ali, I completely don't mind the not wrapping part, just for the record and that does sound stupid now stop writing Sarah okay). Amazon is actually pretty awesome.

Anyway.

I got two books. The first one is the "Colouring Book for Grown-Ups" which I've already seen on Pinterest and it's really awesome. It has all those pages with activities and I think it will be a lot of fun (I haven't done anything so far, but you know, I will)!

Below are some of my favourite pages:



























The second one is a little book called "All my friends are dead". On the back it says All my friends are dead is both the saddest funny book and the funniest sad book you'll ever read. Oh, how true this is!

I took pictures of the first few pages:









It continues like this and I find it absolutely funny. Exactly my humour, good pick, Ali! Thanks a lot for those cool presents, I really like them :)

What else is up in my life? I have vacation now and in March I start the last "proper" semester of my life. Growing up is scary. I also finally got around to get a topic for my dissertation (I call it dissertation when it's really a diploma thesis, but it's kinda similar and I'm a Dr. med. after that) and I should really move my ass and go to collect data (my topic is "Longterm outsome after treatment of intracranial aneurysms" and first we have to make a database with all patients who were treated in our hospital for an aneurysm). My boyfriend is flying to Sochi on Thursday which is absolutely terrifying, so maybe I can work then to get my mind off a bit and so that I don't check the news every five seconds if there has been a terrorist attack.

I promised myself to be productive today, but instead I watched seven episodes of several shows and now I'm gonna eat ice cream. Because I can.

What is up with you? I would find it nice if we could blog more again. Or at least talk on Facebook. It's been awfully quite there. And I want to know what YOU got as Secret Santa presents!
