Ok, so...

Well, I am wide awake and this is probably the latest I have been up in Frieburg (Ok, so it doesn't have a booming night life). I've butterflies which presumably is due to the fact I finally start classes tomorrow (well in 9 hours). Also, I have to take my German Assessment Test which I have to pay for to find out that I really don't have a word of German.

Today, I was given great news! Felix has moved out of our floor, that's not the good news; he was an excellent cook. The good news is that his bitchy girlfriend went with him! YAY! So now I can go into the kitchen without feeling her icy glare on my back! However, this means that my floor mates are now: Tomas, Konstantin, Ian, Adrian, Terry, Stefan and Daniel. Anyone else notice what I'm getting at? Yes, I am the only girl (eep) and Konstantin has given me the nickname of "Mother Goose" even though I haven't been in any way motherly to any of them! Konstantin said I should look on the bright side that (he yawns, stretches and looks around the room) I'm surrounded by 7 good looking men. A sweet but perhaps dillusional thought...

Also, I came into the kitchen to met my new floor mates Stefan who greeted me with "You must be Helen that everyone is talking about" I'm never too sure how to respose to that sort of statement...

I spent my day reading whiny novels written by angry lesbians and angry women who want to be lesbians, they've even written books about it (the dedication is however to their husbands...God knows.) Then I went to Choir, which was fabulous! We're doing a version of a Laudate Dominum, and Agnus Dei and something else which has slipped from my memory. I met a nice girl who's perfume made me sneeze so I think a distant relationship with her will be for the better.

We're performing in November in a church somewhere, also in January I think. They speak German to me but I get the general jist of things. But I heart my choir. There's a guy that looks like Friar Tuck with a nervous twitch where he tries to suck in the room through his teeth. The conductor is a fabulous character, very passionate and looks to be at least 8 months pregnant but is in fact a man. So overall, a thumbs up for the Romanische Choir!

Right, I'm going to inject some sleepy tea into my system, cold sleepy tea as someone has run off with the kettle. I'm going to put up missing posters around the floor until he comes back, Tea just isn't the same without him...

I met a cat today, that is white and looks like was hit woth black and orange paint. He's going to be my Coco incarnate, I have named him Herr Coco. I thought it sounded authentic.

Good night!
