urban odds & ends

After 1.5 weeks waiting I received the results of my latest exam this morning. And I passed it! I am totally relieved and thrilled that I can attend my last internship in chemical engineering now. Another thing I'm totally excited about is our short trip to Paris next week :)

We will stay in a nice hotel in Marais (3rd and 4th arrondissements). And after searching tipps and guides about Paris (thank you Google Reader for the star and search function) I made a little map of everything worth seeing with Google Maps (am I appearing like a Google fangirl *cough* ;) ) and I'll show you once I finished it.

Uuuuh... I have to continue to work now...

Bisous!!! :)

For the upcoming weddings of friends and family I'm still searching a nice dress. Lately after I received my weekly Vera Wang Newsletter (love the wedding dresses... dreaming is allowed! ;) ) I saw a pretty lovely dress (actually a bridesmaid dress, but a dress is a dress).



Unfortunately, the dress requires eight weeks delivery and it is not returnable. A fact I really don't like. So sad. Maybe I'm going to find a nice dress during our stay in Paris in two weeks... cela très magnifique ;)

Woohoo! Today we booked our flights to Australia. After months of waiting and only talking about visiting our dear friends in Melbourne, the final booking feels like a dream comes true. Totally exciting!

Well... now we are finally able to plan the details of our 3 week long visit. Sydney, Ayers Rock and a trip to the Great Barrier Reef is set and a proper time schedule is in work.
