GERMANY
This post feels strange, mainly because I think one of my last posts from England last August was also entitled "counting down". This isn't to say I'm feeling all "Oh my goodness gracious that feels like it was only yesterday", cos it doesn't; it feels like an absolute fucking eternity, but for that reason, it feels somewhat bizarre that it's all coming to an end.
I recently lugged my suitcase out of my wardrobe in my room, took a look around at my belongings and ended up looking back at the suitcase slowly shaking my head. I think with a bit of manoeuvring and a couple of days pondering what I need to take home and what I can leave to die in Neuerburg, it should be alright, touch wood.
This month is going to be particularly taxing on the entertainment front, which for Neuerburg is saying something, because my laptop adaptor has conveniently decided to die on me, meaning the old girl can't be charged up anymore.
Close inspection shows the wiring visible through a tiny tear in the rubber casing; I genuinely have no idea as to how this could have happened, seeing as the laptop hasn't travelled anywhere with me in at least 3 months. Whatever the case, it increased boredom levels threefold this weekend just gone.
I think tomorrow I'm gonna haul some of my students down to the park to drink beer and go on the swings, probably whether they want to or not. It stays light until about 9 now, and the weather is absolutely great, so it seems a pretty valid idea.
Holy nuts, two A-10 Thunderbolts just flew over our school. Is the war still on?

Where the fuck's my camera when I need it?
