I'm back!

Daniel: "Helen! You are first girl to go and last girl to come back! But you come back looking like a super model". The picture to your left is how little of a super model I look and how confused I was by that comment*

But yes! I am back. It is ROASTING in this country. I have taken off as much clothing to retain some dignity while the Germans are walking around with their wintercoats on. The trees are green, there's daisies everywhere, the birds are singing and you can hear German rqap music seeping out of every window as you pass. All in all, everyone is over the winter blues and are feeling the springtime buzz! 

Pharoah is alive and happy. The boys hadn't cleaned him for some time so I had to buy new pebbles to go in his bowl as they were almost a black-green colour and refused to be washed. The shamrock I brought over to them is still alive and watered. Tiffani bought an Italian flag to go along with our German, Greek and Irish flag on the balcony. 

I sat on my balcony earlier eating strawberries and rasberries and reading The Scarlet Letter(which I have to finish before newt week...unlikely). Classes went well. I can't really complain. I'm sure with time I'll conjure up something to complain about. 

Apart from feeling like a Sunday roast walking around Freiburg I feel good. It's nice to be back!

I'll fill you in when I've news. Until then I sweatily sign out...
