They did something similar in Greece, only the 12th grade will take their uni admission exams, the rest will all proceed to the next grade without exams. And theyāre the only ones that will go back to school. Wow, thatās a long school year, or I guess you have many breaks in between. Back home itās from the 11/12th of September till mid May for junior and senior high and till early June for elementary school.
Precisely! And itās even harder when you know that the person probably already has what you thought of getting them or has pre-ordered it themselves (happened last year, had to get a last minute gift). Plus lockdown is not making it easy either, mail is so slow and with my flatmate lurking itās hard to get hers as well.
@drounzer My condolences! I hope your aunt gets better soon. And donāt worry, look after yourself, weāre sending you strength! You can do this! 
Same to you! And hope Thurman feels better too!
I feel the exact same way! Waiting to see what happens over here.
OT: Planning to go out for a long walk today, the weather looks great. Enjoying my morning coffee for now, might do a bit of reading as well.
One of my favourite bands from last year announced theyāre releasing a new album in July and Iām so excited! Their debut was brilliant so Iām sure this one is going to be just as good. Iām trying to hold back on ordering too many vinyls right now since the first phase of RSD is next month and my list is long (oops, haha!).
*Mike is going to be live on IG today (12pm PST ā 8pm BST) for a Q&A in case you guys are interested.
Oh and @LP13413 I donāt know if youāve seen it but Tim from RA is going to play an acoustic set on Saturday live on IG too!

Hope all is going well for everyone!!
Thanks! Glad to be able to post when I can 
Sending hugs back!
That sounds so awesome!! I hope you get to enjoy Germany!! 
Love that you are doing a first time experience!! So exciting!!
I think Facebook needs to replace the care reaction with this! 
orā¦ at least add this in!
@drounzer sending you love and support! This is just an all around [spoiler]shitty[/spoiler] time! We are here for you!!
As for me today. Work work workā¦ donāt get me wrong 'm very appreciative I have a job! Just feeling burnt out after all this! At the moment I have some Linkin Park going, was OML album; now onto Living Things! I messaged my tattoo artist just to tell him about my design, not expecting to get it soon just because of this whole [spoiler] Shit-Show[/spoiler] we call 2020 
Hoping you all have a great day!! As always Iām sending love and positive vibes to everyone!!

@Linkineli I think your story is absolutely beautiful. To me, it is about belonging and self-worth. As though the light represents a piece of her soul calling to her to be found. My favourite lines were: āI dreamed of a singing moon that kept blinking at me that nightā. āThere was only the blinking and me, and around us the night, listening to the universe.ā And especially: "I was stronger. I wasnāt just a single, stray drop of rain, I was a thunderstorm. I wasnāt quiet anymore, I was music, made my own soundtrack to my own life." This is just so powerful to read It feels effortless to read and is captivating throughout, with emotional warmth and heart. Thanks for sharing
I remember a sense of them feeling that they couldnāt win the fight so this implied to me they probably died in the end. Letās see if they ever revive the show? āOnce More With Feelingā is just pure brilliance. It is funny, serious and so interesting. One of the best shows I was lucky enough to watch and learn from.
@anna834 Ah the sheep eat the bark? Maybe it has some vitamins like when cats eat grass to help their stomachs? Cats are funny 
Yes, sometimes they can be. I do like darker characters but those who ultimately become good. What does this say about you then - do you relate more to the bad guys than the good? 
Yes, itās strange because I feel when I used to read YA adults (many years ago when I was a teen) the books werenāt as dark as they are now. Sure, people were murdered and terrorised, but I donāt remember the books being as graphic and disturbing as they are now. However, I think perhaps teens are more desensitized to these themes than we used to be. Even the Harry Potter books became really dark towards the end. It does seem to work really well in this day and age.
Iām sure I remember reading that Tolkien spent years creating middle-earth as though it were a real place that existed. Iād say make sure that you document your thoughts on paper, be it the characterās backstory or the world as you see it, so you have some useful notes to review when years later you canāt remember where you got all the good ideas from! Iāve often written half a story only to come back to it years later to finish it. Sometimes you canāt write everything in one go. Itās just not meant to be finished until itās ready.
Iām not sure whether ending the lockdown is going to help places like retail. I feel people will become less compliant after the lockdown ends whereas at the moment at least they try to stay away from you / move relatively quickly. The last thing I want to see is leisurely shopping habits return. Hopefully people will start to change their behaviours and try to maintain good practices by not shopping excessively and being more thoughtful about others.
True and I feel like itās getting worse as people are assuming the lockdown is coming to an end.
All the best @drounzer we are rooting for you and hoping for the best. Lots of love We will miss you.
Day-40-something-still: Very bad news that the UK has the highest death rate purely because of a failure by the government to act in the right way. I feel they kept referring to being led by the science despite almost every expert saying this is a completely unknown virus which is not yet understood. I hope people learn from this in future and ensure they make better choices about who they put in charge. As of yet, we donāt know when measures will be eased and what impact this may have.

Hey you all 
Just out of the shower, still no dinner.
So just a quick hallo 
Deworming and sorting 500 something sheep.
The bigger male lambs had to leave the flock, cause they start annoying there own mothers. This means, checking every single lamb for its gender.
The silence of the lambs sure not tonight. 
Iām exhausted and will reply some other time.
Still donāt mean, that Iām not with every single one of you! Thank you so much for being here!
Love to you all! Stay strong!

@anna834 Thumb getting better?
OT: Back from my walk, it was great! I love visiting that area, itās one of my favourites in London. Surprisingly it wasnāt that busy, just dog walkers and runners but I guess weāll see on Friday with the good weather and all (itās also bank holiday). Gonna have some dinner now and then itās Buffy time!

hello everyvody, happy wednesday and just 2 more days till weekend 
hi bavarian-dear 
, thank for this lovely and wonderful words. This day was a lot of better, bc the sun is back and itās getting warmer around here. Also online seminar was good today, looking for the next one tomorrow. I think at friday and saturday, with the warm weather, my mood getās better. Thank you for your support. What are you thinking about the new rules again from todayās news.
hello buddy, of course! It has to be an official world wide Holiday 
sending some positive vibes back. Did you check out the new PS plus for May 2020? 
wow, that sounds really good. I like that movie genre 
hello dear , it sounds very interesting for the 1st listening. I think I need some more sessions. Itās kinda like some german bands āOomphā or āUnheiligā - not my favorite genre, but itās that little thing, that makes it interresting. So thank your for that - how about you? What are you and your 3 ālil monstersā doing? 
If you can do that: Can you share me your Top 10 Rammstein Playlist?
thank you and Iāll do that. You do the same, deal? and sending these special bonecrushers back to you and have a nice time on your trip 
hello dear
yeah, itā still going āgood and okā but itās kinda hard, because the internetc connection isnāt that good, when so many students are at the same on the university server 
And Iām doing so much stuff, when āIām in the online roomā, which I wouldnāt do in university for example doing some exercises or just surfing in the internet
so, hopefully youāll get an awesome feedback! 
and let me/us know - #studentstogether
hello buddy, thank you - I need them in facebook
How are you doing these days?
What are you reading? 
how about you dear?
hello buddy, Iām really sorry for your loss and the news, which you received 
Sending you strength and hugs buddy Concentrate on your important things and donāt be sad or sorry, that you canāt come around often here - thatās no problem. Iāll keep tagging you buddy. Besth wishes for you, you can do it! 
hello dear , after ā no domino dayā - what are your next plans? 
also: how are you doing these days?
What did you get?
hello Andy, sounds bad - hope you and Thurman doing better today? Also stay safe and healtyh buddy.
Hello lpfan61ās boss, she needs more breaks! So give it to her, or your butt will be kicked
Hello dear, some extra strong bonecrushers to you
hello dear I donāt know, Iām not a bad guy (anna knows that :D) and also like a āfreaky good mood funny guyā, but the bad girls/bad guys in movies are often better. Donāt know why. But Iām just for the cool bad guys and sometimes for the bad guys who become good or the good guys become bad In public I donāt like rude or just bad girls or guys, but movies are not life so, still donāt know it. Maybe Iām an Alien? or maybe Iām from āBizarro worldā But Iāve got enough movies or series, where Iām cheering for the good ones like Marvel for example
Also do you want the Top 10 or Top 20 Limp Bizkit playlist?
hello dear and thank you so much for being around here too But please, you need something to eat after these hard days 
Take your time, take your breaks and reload your battery

It is the daily exchange, the kind words, the nice discussions and conversations that donāt make us go crazy. So letās keep it up #LPFamily

Oh damn! I hope the online thing gets a bit easier. We are 47 people in my Masters which is mainly why our online classes were just the lecturer talking to a black screen for 2+ hours. We didnāt have our cameras or mics on so it was literally like watching a YT video, no engagement whatsoever.
Thanks! Havenāt heard anything yet. Might email them about it tomorrow.
Good luck the next couple of days and enjoy your weekend! Weather seems awesome indeed!
OT: So a month and a half ago or so I did something to my leg (no idea what) and ruptured a tendon and was in so much pain for like a week. In the beginning it hurt to even walk but eventually it started to feel better. I still had the occasional sharp pain doing a specific movement or going up and down the stairs but it was getting better. This week I could barely feel it and was so excited it was finally healed. Until I got off the bloody couch tonight. Iām back to being in full pain for no reason. Iāve no idea what I did again.
In other news, I highly recommend watching Mikeās IG live from earlier today over on Awolnationās profile. So damn good! Reminded why I appreciate and respect him so much.
Also, anyone else finding it harder and harder to fall asleep at night? It used to be midnight-ish at the beginning of the lockdown for us but now we canāt seem to even start to feel tired before 2-2:30am. Messes up with everything!

Yeah. Says me at 4:30 in the morning 
Oh no! Sorry to hear. Canāt say much more, then get better soon!!!
I miss it!!! Iām still working or at the farmers family dinner at his times. And later I just get a little Netflix done. Sigh. Will probably never ketchup.
My thumb is better, thanks for asking. Can do most things again. Not holding the a syringe to deworm sheep, obviously, or open a jar. But otherwise it worked.
So, try to catch up on some more sleep.
The moon in my window right now

OT: Itās going to be another hot 3 or so days over here, up to 24-25 degrees this weekend! Went out to do some grocery shopping this morning both for us and our neighbour. My flatmate now wants to try and play my electric guitar, itāll be interesting, Iāll let you know how it goes haha!
Need to send some emails out for work and then need to contact Royal Mail yet again. They overcharged me for some custom fees 2 months ago and Iām still chasing them for a refund.
Have a great long weekend everyone!

I am so sorry for your loss!
And i love you too. Even now you made your post so full of love and care, i will think of you too as i always did during your time of distance.
That makes sense to me, but here my youngest brother will go to school next week(4th grade), way earlier than i am able to goš¤
Yeah, we have many breaks, especially here in bavaria(from all the different parts in germany-everyone has their own holiday schedule- we have the mostš).
Oh, yeahš¬
Wow thank you thank you thank you i am really moved by your feedback! It means a lot to me!!!
And also your favourite linesā¦ yeah the "i was stronger"part is really powerful to me too. Just thanks again!
Itās about self-worth and belonging for me too, about listening to yourself, believing yourself, and also being strong enough to faceā¦ life .
We know that! Love you!
That sounds way better to me!yeah, the sun helpsā:sunny:and youāre welcomeā:heart:
I donāt really know. Like @theearlywalker said, good to see the rules donāt have to be that hard anymore, but also letās hope it isnāt a mistake.
I love these words!
Oh no, that sounds so painful!
i hope it will go away soonā:kissing_heart:
Yeah, totally!!! I watched it too, and i really donāt know what i would do without Mike. He gives me such a safe feeling, calms me down, gives me positivity and joy, heās the best. I could listen to him forever.
Thank you, sending them right back!i really appreciate all the love you keep sending us with your posts!
Thanks, you too!
Thanks! Even just reading positive words is niceā:laughing:
You guys make me feel so much better. Iām in love with this place here.
Iām just trying to get the work done and now my mum maybe has the virus, had some symptoms, now waiting for the test result and it really stresses me out.
But being here makes me feel better and gives me hope. Wish you all a great day!

Good evening to this side 
Good day over the pond 
@Honey8 my dear, love to you! 
A warm, sunny day with sheep and fences. Itās six in the evening and I still have to feed the few sheep in the barn. But a moment rest on the patio, starting this, so I may get a longer one done.
Fast hello back 
all fingers crossed, it isnāt the case! Strength to you and your family!
Sounds fun! You have a band!!!
.
Do I? 
Back at you! And my sorries! You know, what ever is best and feels right for you! Take care!
So, 9 p.m. dayās finally over and I feel like it.
So, I will stop quoting Sorry
OT
I have news, exiting and frightening at the same time. 
I already mentioned, that I couldnāt sleep last night. First, cause I was so tired, that I just didnāt fall over. But at one in the morning, I got a WhatsApp by the shepherd girl I met last summer. I had told you about her, the one, who I did know of reputation and always thought, she couldnāt stand me.
This was the massage:
āAnna ā¦ heeeeelp ā¦ my shepherd bailed and I am in middle of lambing seasonā¦ā
As explanation, she has one flock lambing and one getting tended, separated not only by 100km but also a ferry ride.
So I was like f*** how can I help her?
Talking to my boss today, lots of planning and now I will travel up north on Saturday. Canāt make it in one ride, but will arrive at Sylt on Sunday. Three weeks island shepherding
See @theearlywalker working where others take their vacation where will be your holidays?
Here you see, where I am right now and where I am going
