Am Samstag kommt das Sams…

Again, I let a lot of time pass before I shared my nonsense, wisdom and my exciting life with you on my blog. It’s not that there’s nothing to talk about, au contraire, I am just very busy, being all over the place and by the time I found the time to write about something I had in my head for a while, something new is in my head but not ready enough to write about. This will hopefully change in the near future, since I am writing my last two exams in the coming two weeks, I am almost done with my internship report (which puts me months ahead of a lot of other TCWstudents) and I am kind of cutting back on travelling…but for today there is something I am very excited about:

Those of you who grew up in Germany have probably heard of the Sams. Those who didn’t, check out the picture. It is a figure from a German children’s tale. There are some special prerequisites that have to be fulfilled in order for the Sams to come:

• The sun has to shine on Sunday
  
• On Monday Mr Mon has to come (since I live in the Netherlands it is also sufficient if the moon shines à Maandag)
•  On Tuesday I have to go to work ( à Dienstag)
•  On Wednesday it has to be the middle of the week (à Mittwoch, easy one)
• On Thursday there has to be thunder (àDonnerstag)
• On Friday I have to have the day off (àFreitag)

I was thinking about this today and I realized that all the conditions are fulfilled!!! So maybe the Sams will finally come to me (à Samstag). I would be very excited for the Sams to come, because even though it has a huge appetite and almost nothing is safe from him except rubber (I can deal with that somehow) having the Sams around brings some great advantages: it is incredibly fun and even more important, it has blue wish points on its face. And I could use those wish points. Nelleke (who lives in my house now, by the way) and I have just brainstormed what we could use them for:

•  finish my internship report (even though I am almost done, but the finishing touches would be nice
• make me pass my last two exams
• clean up my room (it always gets messy and dirty just by itself)       
• an OV-trainticket that is valid both during the week and in the weekends (so Nelleke and I can travel back and forth whenever we want and aren’t trapped in places during the weekend, maybe we could even make it a 1^st-class ticket)
• cure my cystitis (which is almost gone, but completely gone would be better)

I have also some more complex wishes, but wishing for the Sams to complete my master’s thesis or make me skinny might be a bit presumptuous and will probably overburden the Sams and make it ill…and we don’t want that.

So I guess I’ll have to work on these things myself. I’ll keep you posted.
