I did my 50th meditation session today. With a streak of 27 days! Thats 14 hours of meditation! According to this study , my white-matter connectivity is improving. I don't know if this is due to the meditation, but I am feeling much better than a few months ago. Its going up again! I spent the last few days preparing my applications. I am writing a letter of purpose for the first time and its horrible. It seems weird to talk so good about myself, somehow. First application will be sent this Saturday. Next one the following week. I decided to first apply for "safe" things. And once that is done, go for the more interesting stuffs. Next weekend is Karneval. I live in Düsseldorf, one of the 3 cities where Karneval is celebrated excessively in Germany. They block the whole old city and everyone is drunk. After 4pm, the city should be avoided! Drunk people everywhere, puke, shit, piss, not fun >< Which is why I am escaping and going to visit my friends in the south, excited for the weekend :)
