Tschüss Freiburg

Well, here I am, sitting at the Freiburg Hauptbahnhof waiting for my train. It's 9:31 right now and my train leaves at 10:57. I didn't have any choice to be here, the Hausmeister kicked me out of my room once he "checked" it for damages (I hope he never gets employed as security at an airport. He just stood in the room, stared around, then asked for my keys).

I'm basking in a bright, beautiful, German, summer's day and letting the German language swirl around me. It'll probably be the last time I hear it for a very long time. I love train stations, and love Freiburg's in particular. Here's hoping the train has Internet. If that's the case, I can upload some of the videos I've made.

Tschüss!

Köln

So I've decided to not apologize for anymore lack of blog posts... It's kinda lame. However, I have been absent for about 2 and a half weeks. Here's why:

When I got back from Italy, I had to start writing three essays (Hausarbeiten) before I left on the 19th. Well, it soon became apparent that I'd have to lock myself in my room and write, and that the third Hausarbiet would have to be dropped, due to lack of time, after a couple days procrastination.

Then, on the 15th, I left for Games Day in Köln (Cologne). Now I find myself with only one of the two remaining Hausarbeiten finished, and I leave in 2 days... *sigh*.

To top that off, I had to cancel my Internet already, because I was told that I could only hand in the modem to their office in my dorm (which is open from 14-15 Wednesdays, and 9-10 Thursdays). So I did it on Thursday. Well, now I've found out that I could've handed it into their main office (two blocks from my place), and that I wont be able to get my deposit back 'cause they don't give deposits to foreign accounts, and I have to close my bank account tomorrow!

Ach du lieber...

Anyways, I have made two videos so far (and will make a couple more) before I leave and I'll find a way to upload them (even if I have to wait 'till I'm in Frankfurt or New York), and then close this blog on the 20th. I'll still keep it up, but it wont get added to.

I'll also link to my Games Day photos later.

Tschüß!
