2.2.2011
Came home from school, no sport tomorrow!!! I am really happy because the teacher is a total w*&%er and thinks he knows how to do every sport, even though he doesn't. I still can't believe the time has gone by so fast. Slept quite a lot after school. Really loving this bakery down the road from the school that sells mozzarella bread rolls, Laurent quality, normal price. I am really going to miss Germany

27.1. cont.
I took the train to Nürnberg and it was worth the trip. I walked around town for a while and didn't really know what to do, in the end I had about 2 hours to spare and I saw that there was a transport museum. It was really cool, showing the growth and extravagance of the German train system since the beginning. I stayed until closing time and I saw a Russian kindergarten group. One of the kids reminded me of one the crazy little ones in Ukrainian school. Oh Uki school...
It had been snowing the whole day and it didn't look like it was getting better, when I walked into the museum, it was snowing but instantly melting, as I left, it was snowing like crazy, windy and there was snow everywhere. I asked the cashier at the museum if she knew where there was a supermarket. She recommended a petrol station, which I know is expensive. 50 metres down the road was a shopping complex with 2 supermarkets and a pharmacy.
The train ride home was delayed 20 minutes and at various points along the route, the train driver had different excuses for why we were late. I got home from an action-packed day of which about 6 hours were spent travelling, but for only 21 €, it was absolutely worth the money spent!
28-30.1.2011
Some people thought I had left without saying goodbye, again!! I found out that I didn't miss out on anything in sport, as in I didn't miss gymnastics, damn!!! I was really tired from the last few weeks of travelling so as soon as I came home I crashed into bed practically until Sunday morning.
On Sunday I logged some points into my GPS and I was off geocaching with Rocky. Sadly I was not able to find anything because it is all snowed in, it was still a fun walk to a place that I had never been before. Part of the place where we were was back in the first few weeks when I got lost with Rocky. It struck me how much more confident I was walking around in the forest, knowing where I was, despite having a GPS.
I spent the afternoon sleeping again, it was so nice and relaxing to just have a quiet weekend without anything on.

I spent the day at school and then commuted to Munich. I lodged a complaint with DHL about my parcel not turning up yet. I like how they expect you to remember what you packed in there 2 months ago!! Hopefully my second parcel with all the fun stuff arrives a bit more punctually.
The TV show in the Australian jungle finished on Saturday, but they have a channel called DMAX, which broadcasts often Man vs Wild and such other American survival shows. I would say it is one of my favourite non-mainstream channels.
Sara-Maria has her 16th birthday tomorrow and I was walking around in a shop and the Aussie film "Beneath Hill 60" instantly got my attention. I hope she likes it, I know she is a war story/film fanatic.

Pinch, punch, first day of the month!! Last month in Germany, the time has flown so quickly. I have enjoyed the time here and I have been to so many places in such a short timespan, mostly thanks to being already confident with the German transport system, the friends I have in Deidesheim and region and the fact that I could join the school German trip in Berlin, it has been absolutely amazing!!
Sara-Maria really liked my present and my card, Sara set up sparklers outside which was also really cool!!
After school we had farm muffins, don't quote me on the title. Sara had school longer and as soon as she came home, the guests started pouring in for the typical German: "Kaffee und Kuchen", translates to coffee and cake.
