"Brauchst du etwas zu rauchen?"

When I get bored, I tend to prioritize the useless things I "have to do" over the important things I have to do. For example: Facebook moves high up the list on things I "have to do," even overtaking my essay research. I don't know why, but it appears that free time creates this useless mind-set within me.

I've been back from England for a week and a day, and I'll be damned if I've done anything but jog alot, and buy a book. Oh, I went out to brunch today at this famous Freiburg brunch house.

That's a story in and of itself. After eating brunch happily and leaving, I became light-headed about halfway home. This strange malady led me to take refuge on a park bench for awhile to steady myself. This caused this clean-cut Turkish guy to come a suspiciously long distance from me for a conversation where he asked me in German if I needed anything to smoke. Now, even in my fugue state I knew this was a drug-deal; hell, I am from Vancouver's East Side. This was around 13:00 in broad daylight in a relatively busy park, so I wasn't in any immediate danger, but the cloudiness in my head stopped me from being a smart-ass and I just told him I didn't smoke. Though I was tempted to tell him that I only smoke the finest Afghan heroin laced with Windex.

After a while I felt better, got up, and left to home, where I now feel normal. I guess it was just too much jogging/walking followed by a heavy breakfast, and not enough water.

Thankfully this coming week there's a lot to do (compared to last week) so I wont be as mind-numbingly bored, and might even get this essay done. Well, I should hope so, it's due on Friday.

Tschüss
