In Neuerburg, it's just started to snow again. I shouldn't really be shocked, seeing as they promised us more snow than in December for Jan and Feb. I guess I'm just bitter because Summer here is better. Luckily, it's not sticking because of all the rain of late.
It's difficult to see, but it was actually snowing pretty heavily when I took this photo.I've also just been told that a kid (well, he's 20) in my english support class is leaving for another school in Koblenz. Not only is this kid the most motivated, he's also the Robin to my Batman in that he helps control the rest of the class when they start yelling and chucking stuff. Plus he was middle eastern, which means that the complete racial balance of class E1 is now completely thrown off!
Fuck, damn and bugger. I will miss that kid.
But, I'm exempt from attending Konferenz today because I'm not a real teacher, which does cheer me up a bit. It's where the teachers meet up and bitch about all the students, except it's official and legit so it's ok. But for up to 4 hours? NO sir.
I found this in a shop in Bitburg yesterday. I like to think 'Beratung' simply means 'Berating'.
"Do you wish for a berating? Please press this button!"
That would be fantastic. Whether or not it was a foreigner like me or a German person who actually knew what it meant, it would still be awesome if you pressed the button and a German shop assistant came storming over screaming for you to shut up and sort your life out.An alternative would be simply to remove the text at the top, and just leave what's below.
"Please press this button?" Anyone who resists the urge to press an unlabelled button in a supermarket deserves the aforementioned berating. Look at it! The button is even big and red! This cliche writes itself!
