AMMELDINGEN

GERMANY

Today I made the foolish mistake of buggering my body clock, which is gonna get really annoying next week when I have to start getting up early again.

Last night was the birthday party of a girl in my 12th grade English class, so at 8 o'clock last night about 50-60 of us headed to a place called Ammeldingen, another place which I was surprised was even named.

This was all pretty awesome; we drank lots, ate food and had general good times. Most of the crowd dispersed between 3 and 4 in the morning (I didn't know this at the time because there were no clocks and I didn't bring my phone) and then 7 or 8 of us hung around afterwards just talking and drinking. I'd been under the impression that it was about 3am when we were talking, until I went out for some fresh air and realised I'd already missed sunrise.

So I went to bed at half past 8 this morning, and slept until 5. Rectifying this is gonna be interesting.
