the Ten thing of Thankful hop is a cool way to either end or begin a new week. It is a reflection on things to be grateful for and a reminder that little things do matter. Absolutely love this shit.

Ten Thing of Thankful #19
First - My other half got his Driving License.
WOHOOO, it stalled so much because there were no available exam times in the summer and I was so happy when he called me: "Guess what??"
The funny thing is, he had forgotten his exam time and got a reminder on his phone the evening before, and the dude passed! YAY
Second - Our car is in body shop but we were left with another.
Yup, I bought an old BMW E90 (325i and it's 21 years old) for my boyfriend as a gift last year, and it has become our little baby, as we have already done a lot of things to it. We now sent it away to get the sills replaced (expensive shit, and nobody welds in my town, but we want the car to last us for as long as possible).
The person who deals with the car is close to my family. He left my boyfriend one of his cars so that he could still get around in the meantime, which I didn't ask for at all, but it was so sweet of him.
The bill will be enormous (still cheaper than without knowing someone), as it also has a brake pump/booster or vacuum thingie (my English is bad here) issue that needs to be taken care of.
We will also do the rest of the body but this we will do with my old coworker who is btw his sisters husband. That is how we met, I was interning for car painting where he worked… and I was invited to a "work party" which turned out to be my now-boyfriend's 20th birthday… cool eh?
PS: We knowingly left some work for later, as we had some electrical work done on it and the big arse service and stuff…
Third - I had an amazing weekend.
Me and my boyfriend spent the whole weekend together. The first day, we were just chilling and gaming after I did some of my schoolwork, and then we went out, just the two of us.
AAAAAAAND I did not want to leave home on Monday morning at all. Something about the warm cuddles, lol…
Fourth - University seems to be going well.
I think I have already mocked up a nice timeline for myself, so I will not stress about the deadlines…
The only sad part is that Monday–Wednesday I am now really busy, so my sixes will probably shift a bit towards the end of the week. I will try to continue with the creative writing…
This week, my head was just blank on that front, and I had zero ideas about what to write, so I wrote about my first week in school instead.
Fifth - Music.
Currently Playing: Mirar.
This is a really good song: Når Solen Går Ned
Sixth - Sixers Crowd.
Love them and there were so many great entries this week at the link-up. Seriously, check them out.
Seventh - School GitLab is down.
They are doing an update. I was already doing this week's assignments last week, and it is good that it's down, or I would not have gotten out of it today. I have only a few more things to do there…
Basically, there is an automatic tester that tests my code for errors if I submit it through the repository on my school GitLab, and I can't do the next exercise before the last one goes through without errors.
The good thing is, I will do the last part tomorrow, day after and so-on. Then it sticks better, as I am repeatedly doing those things a bit at a time instead of no-lifing for a few hours straight, which is what I usually do.
Eight - TToT blog-hop itself.
And the fact I managed to participate this week.
Ninth - In another course the Lab opens only after the lessons have taken place.
Same reasoning. I have trouble pulling myself out of the course because this shit is interesting lol.
Tenth - Discord.
Our whole course has a group there and there was so much information on different courses that I know which ones I wanna take for some of the next semesters…

glad you could do a post, given the voracious appetite that school can have for one’s time (and life).
The beauty part (as a friend used to say) of both the Six Sentence Story and the TToT bloghops is that there is no pressure to conform to an ‘other-established’ standard. (ok, maybe the TToT lol but then again, participants have been known to place fast-and-lose with the numbering lol.
On the SSS, can identify with: “…had zero ideas about what to write.”
Your solution puts you squarely in the demographic of most of the long-standing participants. (Frank is a good example. Not so much for a lack of ideas, but he does the ‘meta Six’ really well.’)
so study hard write words, everything will come out as it should
Thank you so much Clark and yes, university is very time consuming but luckily I currently have the type of a semester where everything is interesting. No crappy courses this time that you have to do because someone said so haha…
#5 “Når Solen Går Ned” That’s Danish! Is that also Estonian?
So very pleased that you managed to find time for a TToT. Always fun to read what you’re doing. Hope your week is brilliant. xx
No it is not Estonian. And am happy you find it fun 😊. Thank you a lots!
I’m glad you found time to write your list. As with all cars, I hope yours gives you many good years.
Thank you so much! I think she will last us alright as we did take her in as a ‘project to pour our love for cars in’ and I have very good mechanic/bodywork friends and family that help me with things I can not do myself. As a former car-painter who got allergies and a dad-figure who is an amazing mechanic I do, luckily, have more options than taking it to a regular shop.
Another note. He really wanted an e93 or e46 but as a tall as heck guy he was uncomfortable in every single one we tried… This was the only 3 series he felt nice in without hitting his head or kneew… So that’s why we chose something like the e90…
Also, I myself dreamt of the old e39 or e38 since I was a kid. So it’s like a middle ground.
We have a wide variety of bloggers. Their posts are like breaths of air from afar. Thank you for your peek into your world.
Awe. Thank you so much Cai. And yes, we have so many and everyone has their unique voice/world views/life outside of the creative side we see in other hops. That is what makes it so fun!
I am glad your boyfriend passed his driver’s exam and it sounds like you have a great car. May your time at school be wonderful.
The car is great, the sills themselves are not as horrible as I first thought/saw from the inner view with covers still on, but there are a few things to do where they connect to the bottom. Just got a bunch of photos and spoke with the guy that will do the welding… It will be all fixed up and she will hopefully last us a long time considering how old she is and that she is getting metal work done right at this very moment as am typing…
It sounds like you’re having a fun and busy time!
Thank you, it does get crazy-busy.
#7 Repetition is truly the best way to learn as opposed to overdoing it in mega-sessions – glad it’s going well and you are finding balance with home life…
Yes, repetition and smaller chunks. Or a mega session with many pauses.
