I left sunny California and went back to Germany.
So crazy. In some ways it feels like it's been forever. Very strange feeling.
Everything is different over here. I can't really name it. I guess one has to experience this for themselves...
Classes still go till mid of July and the exams will last another month!- Nice. (not!!)
I'm thinking about my summer time a lot. Maybe I'll make it to Berlin eventually. We'll see.
One thing's for sure though: I'll spend my September in CA again :D
I can't wait.... where's the fast forward button when we need it?? The rewind one is also fine with me.
Seriously.
Uk well it's been another long awesome weekend. It started with my friend's B-Day-party Saturday. Sunday my sis, my friend T and me went home to my parents and stayed there till Tuesday.
We went to pick strawberries. Very delicious. I couldn't help myself eating half of the ones I picked :P
And later on BBQ at my grandma's. My aunt and cousins came too. The have the most amazing backyard. It's like this fairytale garden full of blooming flowers and animals running around. The kids were playing with the baby chicks and baby geese. So cute. The babies were just following my cousins everywhere.
Also my mum, T and me went to this lovely little town in the Netherlands. T has never been there before. So we had her try all the different dutch foods we think are typical for this area.
We went to this sweet shop called 'Jamin'. There you can just choose whatever you want and in the end you weigh it and pay. The licorice is the best. And some other things as well.
Then quick stop at the dutch Aldi ( a grocery store). There we bought some food and stuff.
I love their Vanille Vla which is this type of pudding. If you go there you should try it. Some really like the choclate one. ANd for those who can't decide ther's always the dubble vla ;)
Speaking of I should have some later ;)
Y-day I had some classes in the morning and my afternoon ones were cancelled. I didn't really mind ;)
In the afternoon till late at night there was this thing on Campus. They had a stage and food and beer and whatnot. Also some bands performed on a stage. It was all open air in the middle of Campus, the grass area part. Just check out the video & the pics and see for yourself ;)
Even though it rained earlier that day y-day night was perfect. There will be another party tomorrow night at the same location. It's called "Beach-party". Funny thing though there is no sand on Campus. But well that won't be an obstacle. Apparently they are going to get some sand for some areas at least. Shall be fun. ^^

Often it's the carnivores, but not this time ;)
Usually I think of myself as quite a sane person.
Sometimes though I really wonder what's going on in my head. It's the most peculiar thing, I tell you.
Like some days I can never be sure if I'll be on time... Either I'm super early, I'm punctual or I miss my train by a minute. That's when I think: how come?
Today was one of those days again. I actually had enough time to make it, but somehow I didn't manage to do so. The funny thing is that I know I can do better, because I already did thousand times before...so seriously, why?!
Well... no idea really... I just have to try harder next time I guess.
Different topic: I just have to tell you something about what's going on in Germany now: epidemic.
Don't know if you heard about this but there is this virus called "EHEC". It's one of those 'eboli' things.
Here some No.s for Germany:
Over 2800 people are infected, more than 600 are serious cases and so far 29 people died!!
Apparently the numbers are going down, but that doesn't mean it's over yet.
There is no real cure at the moment. They are still searching for the source.
As far as I'm informed they narrowed it down to following:
Before this they were warning the population about cucumbers, tomatoes and salad. But apparently that warning was unnecessary.
Oh well, ever more reason or an excuse to eat Junk food, right?! ;)
Carnivores are spared this time...

5 min only - riggghhtt
It was one of my friend's b-days today. So we cooked some dinner, ate some cake and also some sort of designer ice-cream in the shape of a wine bottle. So good!! I'm still stuffed.
Real nice evening...
I walked home right through downtown. Listening to music and minding my own business with a fast pace.
Out of nowhere I see 2 people rushing towards me. One asian looking man and a blonde woman. I figured they might be asking me for the way, so I stop. That man approaches me asking me sth in broken german I didn't really catch. SO the woman explains:
"We are both Theology students and have to give a lecture tomorrow. We still have some homework to do. WOuld you mind giving us 5min of your time to help us out?"
Unsuspecting, I agree. Only to listen to sth I barely understand because that asian guy trys to tell explain sth to me. He had such heavy I accent that i could barely follow. The woman helps out.
Just then I realized what's going on, but didn't want to be rude and didn't interrupt.
After what felt like an eternity I was able to excuse myself and get on my way.
Man I had to laugh about my naivety... I just believe the best in people.
Now I wasted about 20min or whatsoever for nothing really...
I wanted to help. But I assume they thought that they were the ones who tried to help me.
Man.. I don't mind that people want to believe in whatever that is they believe in.
But I dislike being tricked into a conversation/lecture I didn't even want in the first place. Also I don't like it when someone tries to force their beliefs on me.... seriously...
I guess I learned my lesson...
Other than that my last few weeks have been fun and busy... the weather has been pretty nice mostly, so I just had to enjoy the sun ^^
Well I have an early class tomorrow so I'd better catch some sleep ;)
Nighty night
