And so 4 years have passed.


So this is it. 4 years have passed since my first appearance to this beautiful place of mess. I kind of failed in this whole “let’s celebrate the anniversary of my blog in style” considering that today is 12th November and the anniversary was yesterday but let’s pretend I planned it exactly like this and I did it on purpose. So yeah folks, on 11. 11. 2011 was this blog created and I can remember it as if it were yesterday when the 14 year old Susan was trying to figure out how this little universe works. I have to admit that it was fun indeed. Took me a good while to get grip of it and I’m still not utterly sure if I mastered all the skills. Actually I’m pretty sure I haven’t but let’s pretend that I’m at least a bit worthy this community.
            However this past year and half could be called the proper “dark age” of this blog considering the fact that I was total piece of crap when it came to updating because let’s be honest here… I haven’t been updating at all. But I don’t feel like apologising and explaining myself. It was just period of my life where I neither had the urge nor the inspiration to write here anything. Most of the time I was too busy and had no solid content whatsoever.
            So why am I writing this right now? Why even bother? Well dear curious reader (actually I wouldn’t be surprise if nobody was reading this), I think I’m over this “dark age” or to be more specific, I have the need to share my thoughts and feeling with somebody and after all I called this blog “Susan’s diary” and that’s pretty self-explanatory. As you might already know, I’ve started university this year in Prague and now I’m pretty much living on my own.
            The fact that I’ve basically started a completely new stage of my life brought me to some new thoughts and ideas. Also I was feeling rather down recently because of the university. I don’t know why, but it makes me feel like crap. So that’s another reason why I want to start writing here again. I think it helps me a lot with getting my mind off these unpleasant things.
            So I guess this is it. I’m back and this time for good (I hope so at least). I would like to create a new post every week or so but I don’t want to give out any fixed schedule because as I know myself I would totally fail again. I plan to make this my personal space of letting my thoughts flow freely and I guess that doesn’t require any kind of rules and schedules.
            Even though I would love to do all the outfits post and fashion related things as I did before, it’s sadly not possible in this time. I know literally nobody in this big city so that pretty much sums up why I’m not able to create any posts related to this topic. I will try to somehow figure it out though but at least for now, this place will be filled with mostly my rambling about everything and nothing. I think. I mean, I’m not even sure myself so far what will happen with this place. I guess we’ll have to wait for that and trust me, I’m really curious myself how this one will turn out.
            And with that I’m done for today. One more time “Happy 4th Birthday, my dearest blog!” and to all of you lovely people, stay perfect. :)

Susan.

Let The Summer Begin.

   Hello everyone. So after tough 2 months of exams and exams only, I can proudly say that I officially graduated from high school with very good results and was accepted to all universities I applied for. To cut it short, I'll be an official student of Charles university in Prague which is for me still a bit unbelievable but I couldn't be happier. Although I still have trouble deciding either to study Chemistry or Biochemistry. I'm gonna have tough times deciding but I still have time until late August because that's the time when I have to go to Prague and officially sign myself up as a college student. Let me just tell you, I'm very excited but scared as hell, too.

   And what's gonna happen now? Well as I'm writing this it's only about few hours till I leave Slovakia and start my summer holiday in Germany. With holiday I'm not referring to the relaxing-lying-on-the-beach kinda holiday. (dammit) My very good friend Gabika gave me the opportunity to go with her to Germany and work in a cafe/restaurant thing right on the beach in a lovely city called Cuxhaven. I'm pretty stoked on going there considering I'll get the chance to use german in real life. However I'm also a bit scared but I guess that's completely normal, right? :)

   The point of this is that I hope I'll be able to take some photos and update you guys on my german adventure. I would be over the moon if  i made it work. I guess I'll be pretty busy considering I want to make as much money as possible, considering I want to pay this whole trip from it and then also pay my surfing trip to France afterwards and also I need a notebook because let's face it. I would not survive without it in the college.

   So not make this post any longer than it already is, I just want to say that this summer is going to be huuuuge and I hope in only the positive way of this word. I promise I'll do my best to keep you guys updated and I know this past year I was total rubbish in blogging but I want to at least try to get back to it this summer. We'll see how this all turns out. Love you loads and stay perfect!
   Susan.
Gonna miss this bunch of nuggets. High school was fun indeed.

That time when I was in Prague writing my exams and then went sightseeing

Missing it already.

   Hello everyone! So today you'll see the last post which is winter related. I mean I'm soo up to date! (the sarcasm game here is so real) But there's just too many things going on. Next week i have exams for one of my universities and let me tell you, I'm nervous as hell. I mean I'm learning and preparing for it but still it's gonna be so difficult. Then in 3 weeks I have my school leaving exams part 2 which means in 3 weeks it's an official wrap to my high school years. A bit scary, right?? :)

   But to write something about today's post. It's just a bunch of snaps from my winter trips. I'm so grateful for every single day i could spend on the slope doing my stuff. I feel like I improved but it still wasn't as much as i wanted to. But definitely it was much better than last year when i wasn't even snowboarding. So shout out to the winter 2015 for being so wonderful, sunny and good to me. I feel so blessed being able to do this amazing sport which means the world to me.

   So just sit comfortably and enjoy some of the wonderful moments I got the chance to experience during my favourite season. Love you all loads and until next time. Have your best one! :)
   Susan.

New Snowboard Gear.

  Hello everyone! So as I promised here comes one of my update kinda posts. Today I want to talk about my new snowboard gear. Let's say that this winter I spent a lot of money however I can't be complaining. Was so worth it. :)
 
   I was in a serious need for a proper winter jacket considering for like past three or four years i've been using my brother's one and he was getting really pissed off about it, so it really was time to invest into my new one. And as many people know I'm kind of obsessed with Burton. So after long consideration and hunt I said yes to this blue (oh how unexpected Susan) jacket from Burton and along with it I ordered also this blue (again) beanie. Let's say that it was love on the first sight and i don't plan to finish our relationship any soon. :)

   Second, even more exciting purchase was actually present for my 18th Birthday from my parents, however I got it already at the beginning of February. After 8 years of riding my old snowboard it was time for a change and trust me, I spent endless hours looking for the best board. From the very beginning I knew that I wanted to have a Burton board, considering it was my dream for many years now. I had really crucial time picking up the right one, considering now I'm specifying for Freestyle riding and I'm really tall girl and there's not that many tall boards for women. Pity. Finally I ended up getting a men's board which i was really scared about because it's not the same as the women's one. But then I took it to the slope and oh boy, my mind was blown away. It's so perfect, like seriously I'm over the moon. However I have to admit, it's quite hard to do the tunings in the air but I guess that only needs practice.

   And along with my new board aka. my new boyfriend, it was necessary to buy also new bindings because the Burton boards use The Channel which is a bit different way of bindings. Too difficult to explain. This situation came really handy considering my old bindings were  well... in really really bad conditions. :) And I think I picked good, once again. :)

   Okay so it was really interesting winter. Hopefully this whole upgrade will help me reach my goals and I'll keep on getting better in the freestyle snowboarding and i wish soon, I'll get on the big jumps and perform some sick tricks. :) Best of luck to you all.
   Susan.
