My Erasmus Year: Just a general update!

Well, that's the state of my elevator! It's scarier in real life but here's just a taste of it's scariness!

Life is good in Freiburg at the moment! All been college related but it was Jude's birthday on Saturday, so we headed out and celebrated it in The Stusie! It's the club next to my apartment. It has three floors; popular floor, punk, rock and techo floor and mellow floor! It's a bit of an odd place. The main dance area is like a town hall with a projector screen in it. They have an...ecletive taste in music from wedding floor emptiers, the not so hits of the 70s, 80s and 90s, German anthems and then the odd recognisable song.

As some of you know the clocks changed on Saturday night (when we were out) so when it came to 2am the clocks were put back to 1am, therefore the club was open until 4am (previosuly 5am). I got home around 4.30am(5.30) and decided it would be a good time to decorate the apartment

with the Halloween decorations that Mum sent me. So after Halloween-ifying the kitchen I went to bed and slept til 2pm.

I came into the kitchen to find me floormates staring with awe at the kitchen (that kind of awe that you can't tell if it's good or bad...it turned out to be good) They called me crazy and then said I was mental when I toldthem when I did it.

I found out I was on bathroom duty *shudder*. I share with three boys who cleaning is an alien concept to. So I scrubbed the tiles, showers, three sinks, two toilets til they bled and until I semlt like bleach and lemony fresh. The place gleamed. I cannot find the words to describe my horror when I saw the bathroom an hour after I cleaned it. Boys are monsters!

After doing the bathroom, it turned out I was on cleaning the kitchen duty. I mopped, scrubbed, bleached, brushed, disinfected, shined, washed, scraped, sponged and made the kitchen sparkle. The oven caused gagging and the maggot (Singular, I know there's more of them out there) I found; I befriended in hopes of him telling me where the rest of them are. The kitchen looked great, then the 7 monsters came in and began cooking; the aftermath looked like they had a food fight with some apes. So I stormed in and "Mother Goose"ed them to bits, they began cleaning slowly with pouts while I watched over them *whipcrack!*

In other news, there are NO nice dresses in Freiburg. The dresses I could find are frilly, frumpy, floor length, neon lime, retine burning, poufy, sequined, shoulder padded disasters! I thought I could buy one in hope of making a "statement" with it...but...even I couldn't pull that off! So I went and bought a dress off the net
