feeling: Slightly Depressed
listening to: Don't Say Goodbye - DBSK

I've been feeling so crap lately.

I've been studying relatively hard tho, but I swear I have the concentration span of a gnat. Why do I get bored so damn easily? Why is my course so damn boring?

That being said, I fell in love with one of the pieces of literature I had to read for my course. I literally found it rather difficult to put down. Im Westen Nichts Neues - All Quiet On The Western Front, as it was translated into English. Such good book, but so damn sad.

But must have been the best piece of German lit I've had to read for my course so far. Such an amazing war book... I've had way too much to do with the war in my course, what with all the depressing films and books in which at least one person dies or the main character tries (and mainly succeeds) to commit suicide, but this is seriously a good book.

Of course they all die, but it's just so damn well written.

I recommend it to everyone :D Read the English translation if you can't understand the German version, although it does lose some of its original meaning but in some cases I think the English version has expressed it even better than the German original, which is pretty damn impressive :)

That being said, I just felt so crap after I finished reading it tonight. Such a sad ending, but it's not particularly surprising. Germany hasn't exactly won a war in its history so far and Im Westen Nichts Neues is based on the First World War, 1914-1918.

Really makes you feel for the Germans, tbh... They've gone through so much crap, but it wasn't the soldiers' faults that they had to kill or be killed. Every time I see a poppy here, I just wonder again, seriously...

The cover of the German version, one that I have now scribbled all over because it is such an amazing book and I just actually had to get my own copy. I'll probs read it again when I have some spare time...

Going back to wonderful Financial Reporting 1 now... joy... I really don't understand it at all :( It's more of a foreign language than German ><;; Hm... maybe a bit more procrastination first though :)

L8r,
