In the last week I have enjoyed the lovely weather in both Germany and England. When I was in Germany I didn’t want to go to England, and once in England I didn’t want to leave for Berlin. However, a fleeting visit to Liverpool and Leeds lead to lots of art, feminism, cider in the grass, vintagey loveliness, trains, more trains, Marks and Spencers sandwiches and friends. All of the best things in life. So I can’t complain.
Also once I’d made my way back to Berlin I went on long lazy cycle rides with Matzi und Anni, swam in clear sunny lakes and generally just enjoyed the balcony again (I am sat out here again now, it is my favourite place). I want to be in two places at once, or have some wonderful amalgamation of the two countries.
On a side note, I have now begun my 4th intensive course of the year in Parasitology. The 5th and final one begins late July. I feel I am doing quite well doing 5 courses, in German, in subjects I have little to zero background in, especially since I discovered today that home students take 2 intensive courses in a year. 2. I was deeply unimpressed when I found out (I still am). I thought Eramsus was supposed to be EASY???!
OK, I’ll end my whinging now.
