End of a Trimester...and a raving lunatic!!!

The timing is once again perfect! Look at the dates from the posts and you will see why I say that…seemingly, I manage to update my blog every month. Not my intention, but life in the fastlane makes us so focused on the “current”, that we often forget about the “overall”. So, the last post was a bit of an inner thoughts one and therefore seemed a bit “retrospective” Haha! Hopefully, this one will be a little more uplifting. One of my friend (jy weet wie jy is) told me that other people’s blogs are quite boring and therefore he won’t read mine…fortunately, I don’t take it to heart and to me this is one good way of communication and updating all of you on what is happening.

Righty then…so, indien julle die anner blogs gelees het, sou julle geweet het dat die tande n probleem was! Ek se „was“, want, ek het so n week terug my verstandtande laat uithaal...moerse moerse MOERSE seer! Hehe...ek het n pic attach van die inevitable swelling wat daarmee saam kom. Bliksem, mar dit was ongemaklik, en ek kan nou vir julle se: „Om vir een week lank net, sop, apple-mousse, sop, yogurt en sop te eet is KAK! Dit lyk darm of dit nou beter gaan. Ek weet net nogsteeds nie wat dit is met die dokters hier in Germany nie...almal van hulle moet vir jou n „step-by-step“ gee as hulle iets doen…interesting to say the least.

Ons het ook nou vir ons fietse gekoop…die goed is maar geroes, want die a-hole waar ons dit gekoop het, het dit buite in die reen gelos. Idiot! Maar…hehe…die eerste keer toe ons natuurlik op hulle klim, gaan ons by so n klein heuweltjie af…ek se nog vir Francois dat hy moet versigtig wees want dis nogals styl. Lol! Toe hy begin briek trek, sien jy net bene oor poephol hoe die agterwiel oplig en hom van die fiets afgooi! Slowmow my ass…

We went out one night to a club close-by called A5, what a night! Now, believe me on this one, try this the next time you decide to drink Tequila. Take a shot and add a bit of cinnamon! OMG, what a nice little shot! Goooood music, good ppl and lots of fun later…I had to attach myself to a pole in order to support myself for the latter part of the night!

We have written about 2 mid-terms and one final exam paper now and I am still waiting for the result of the mid-terms…maths and ethics, we shall see, but hopefully, I will do alright. We are very busy and the days are literally flying past us with astonishing speed! However, the workload…as mentioned is BIG! So, I have been thinking of maybe spreading it out over another 4 months, that way, I won’t have to take so many subjects in one Trimester and the work with SAP will also work out better…but that is still a decision I need to make…

Gister, was ons weer in die stad gewees (Karlsruhe) na werk vir n bier, nice plekkie gevind wat amper soos Sandton square is! Ons begin nuwe eetplekkies ontdek en soek maar so vir plekkies om te shop. Dis ook amper vakansie en ons wil verseker n bietjie in Europa gaan rondploeter! Nou...Amsterdam is n moet (vir obvious reasons), maybe Engeland...Frankryk of Italie! Net bietjie rustig wees en gaan toer vir so n week of wat. Die crap is dat ons nogsteeds final research papers in die hollies moet doen en vir SAP en die ander werk het ons groot deadlines! Ek het ook met Tjekboek kontak gemaak in die laaste maand en dink nogals daaran om vir hom in Skotland te gaan visit sometime soon!

Hierdie is Karlsruhe

Anyways...gistraand in Karlsruhe. Wag, nou skets mens eers bietjie background info: Know, dat mens nie sommer net publieke toilette vind nie...as hulle nie goed weggesteek is nie, is hulle donners ver! As hulle nie ver is nie, is hulle non-existant (en ek moet pee) en as hulle non-existant is, dan freaking moet jy betaal vir een...indien jy een sou vind! Belaglik…€1 sodat jy nou kan gaan Pee…!!! Nou het ons die bier gedrink…en soos gewoonlik, met enige mens, werk jou sisteem die alcohol deur die bloed en die vloeistoef af na die blaas...(ek moet erger begin pee)...ons moet ook die trein vang terug huistoe en staan maar toe en wag vir n tram!

Very uncomfortably I shifted into a position where the least amount of pressure is put on the bladder..hehe! Now, we are waiting, ek sit met my iPod in my ore en blast Linkin Park! Suddenly, there is a bit of a commotion at the tram-station and people are staring, pointing and generally just bemused by this absolute DRUNK homeless dude…(hy was moerse groot!!!) with a beard that reeks of vomit (hy het naby genoeg aan my gestaan om dit te kan ruik) Hier loop die dronkie toe nou deur al die mense en begin erg skel en vloek en gooi letterlik sy enigste besittings (n mandjie, met n rol toiletpapier, n lee bottle en newspaper) daar rond!! “Ich bin nicht ein idiot…wieso sind alle so beschissen…aschlögger!” Very casually...he struts till right next to me...stops, looks me straight in the eye (red red red) and spits right in front of my feet...ek dink even n bietjie recoil het my op die wang gevang!! Eish…what a sight…lol…dit was nogals anders. Amper soos die keer (now, since Europe is soooo liberal…there are a lot of weird ppl here….and especially PUNKS, the real ones, spikey hair and all) waar Francois per ongeluk 1 sekonde te lank vir een van die punks (n chick met rooi hare en meer piercings as die body-shop assistant) gekyk het…sy begin hom toe jaag in die strate van Karlsruhe af!! All the while skree sy ook agter hom aan en vra vir geld of something…

We have 3 weeks left of this Trimester, 2 weeks of classes, and 1 for finals! There is still sooo much to be done and therefore, I’d better get started right…

Miss you guys and this is me signing out till the next update

Die son skyn in Bruchsal....lalalalalala!!!!!
