The Undomestic Goddess

Today I want to tell you something about my favourite english book. It's a number one Bestseller in the world, called 'The Undomestic Goddess' of Sophie Kinsella. Sophie Kinsella is a writer and former financial journalist. Famous books of her are 'keep a secret?' and 'Remember me?'. Together with her husband and children she lives in the middle of London.

( Her official website: www.sophiekinsella.co.uk )

The book talks about Samantha a workaholic. She needs to slow down to fall in love in the middle of nowhere.

Samantha is a lawyer in London. Actually she don't know the word home and relaxing, the only thing she does is the whole time working in her little office in London city. Career is important to her, until one day she makes a big mistake, which change her thinking. After the mistake she takes any train and find herself in the middle of nowhere. She stops at an old, beautiful house where she wants to ask for direction. “She is mistaken for the interviewee housekeeper and finds herself being offered the job”, but actually she has no idea , how to handle an ironing board or how a wash machine works.

Does she fall in love with her new life? and Will her new employers find out about her past?

The book

Sophie Kinsella

I really do enjoy reading the book. There is a lot of ironic in the book and it's good written. If anyone wants to read it, I can give you my one for a certain time.

Best time of my life

Today I want to tell you why I chose the name Scotlandlover. Like the most of you know I spend 8 weeks in Great Britain almost 2 years ago. I will never forget this time.

The first 5 weeks I spend some time in Scotland with a friend of mine. We worked at an activity centre for young people. Most time I cooked or done some housekeeping. In the evening I often talked to my new friends (we are still in contact). It was really nice to experience a new language. The first week I was really nervous to talk English but after these few days I started speaking.

I've met my best friend Jenny, there. We often talk to each other by facebook and soon she'll come and visit me.

The other 3 weeks I spend in Leeds, England. I lived near the centre. My host parents called Melanie and Andrew. They are such a nice and friendly couple. We've done a lot of great things together like water-

skiing. I loved the day we spend time by the coast.

These 8 weeks quickly passed. The weeks away from home thought me self-reliance. Of course I missed my family but I learned standing on my own and enjoy friendship. Scotland was the best time of my life =)

I don't like Mondays

Gun rampage is a contemporary issue.

I wanted to talk about this topic because I listened to a song some weeks ago. This song tells about a gun rampage. I'm sure the most of you know the song 'I don't like Mondays'.

Geldolf a member of the group was inspired on Monday the 29^th January 1979. On this Monday a sixteen year old girl called Brenda Ann Spencer shot through her window at pupils from the Grover Cleveland Elementary School in San Diego. She lived obverse the playground where the pupils played while they arrived for school. She killed the head teacher and the janitor from this elementary school who tried to protected the children. 8 little children and a police man were badly injured. She shot with a gun her dad bought her for Christmas.

While an interview at a radio station Geldolf heard about this dramatic story. The news about the gun rampage where send through a telex machine while he was interviewed.

Brenda Ann Spencer told the police ''I don't like Mondays. This livens up the day.'', thats the reason why she shot at the pupils.

She told the police also after they catch her 6 hours later:

„There was no reason for it, and it was just a lot of fun. It was just like shooting ducks in a pond. the children looked like a herd of cows standing around, it was really easy pickings“

I tried to understood this girl but I couldn't and still can't. Brenda said few month before she done the gun rampage

"one of these mornings, you´re gonna look for me", "no one understands me", "you don´t have to wait very long to see what is going on with me"

She was confused when her parents were divorced, wanted to die, don't wanted to be that good lovely girl the whole time. Brenda can't remember the shooting but she know that she killed and injured people. Now Brenda Spencer feels guilty she killed two people she didn't know. Brenda Ann Spencer is still in prison till 2015.

I think it's important for us how we treat someone. Try to be nice to everyone or when you can not do this ignore them but never hurt them. All people who knew a gunman never expected they can do such a dramatic act. When you hear next time about a gun rampage, please also think about the gunman. They need the most help and of course the other ones too.
