I wanted to write my second last blog. Tomorrow will be one of the saddest days of my life. Tomorrow I must part with my modem and therefore my internet. I will not have internet for the remainder of my stay in Freiburg. I'm not too sure how I'll cope. I have prepared myself by procuring a copy of David Copperfield. I'm hoping that 905 pages will keep me as entertained and as uptodate as the internet does. I pity the man who has to wrench the modem from my fingers. Life in Freiburg is complicated at the moment. Seemingly, it's impossible just to up and leave a country. There's more too it. A lot of forms and queues. I'm getting there slowly and if I don't finish filling out the forms I plan running back to Ireland without them noticing.
Konstantin is now officially back with his girlfriend. She's already whipped him into shape. He was the most enthusiastic of my flatmates for the themed BBQs however yesterday his tone suddenly changed. Konnie upset Tommy so much that Tommy cancelled the BBQ. Konnie went out on a bit of a rant/tangent. During which Konnie's girlfriend was standing beside him the whole time nodding her head in agreement. He was saying that he didn't want to have motto BBQ, that he didn't want to eat and drink with us every week, there was never anyone new and it was pointless to have these BBQs. The whole time he seemed to regret every word. Then he said we should have just BBQs every week, eat and drink together. So he contradicted himself. The rest of the WG think his girlfriend made him do it. And when Konstantin realised I am leaving next week he got upset, looked plaintively at his girlfreind who glare but still tried to get Tommy to put the BBQ back on. No luck. Konstantin was telling me the other day that his girlfriend told him she only dates "guys with few to no friends and who are easily controlled". Perfect match, it seems. God knows.
I handed in my final essays on Monday, finished my last test today and did my last presentation last week. I am a free woman! Now I get to sit back and relax. Next week I'm taking a block seminare in Creative Writing. Should be easy enough...I'm hoping. Everyday I repack and reweigh my luggage and no matter what I do it never seems to reduce. The room is looking more and more empty, white and sad but I'll be back in my Irish room in no time!
I realised today that I've been buying a brand of toilet paper called "Happyend". I thought I wouldn't care about the terribly translated English names and phrases over here. Turns out Germany still has its charm
I'm having an epic day of cleaning tomorrow. I have my final check with my Hausmeister on Thursday so I need to have everything spik'n'span. This involves cleaning the floors, the kitchen, the bathroom, the window, my wardrobe inside and out, repainting the walls where my posters ripped off the paint, the door and my mirror. And a lot a dusting here and there. I plan enticing the animals of The Black Forest to come and help me!
Well, this is goodbye for German blogging. I will post another blog about my final days in Freiburg once I am settled back into my familiar environment of Dublin. I hope the blogs haven't been too tedious. Until the next blog...tschüss
