Thursday 22nd April

Munich down, Strasbourg to see Matt, Lorcan, Katherine, Laura and Sam and then Barcelona with Sam still to come!!! Happy days. However, I think none of these might happen as I am struggling to stand up straight after landing on my hand after a bicycle kick at football yesterday. I think I might need to ask everyone's concussion expert Matthew Chapman about this.

Anyways, Monday was a good day. After 5 and a half hours of lectures, including the last one where there was a very active discussion about German fraudsters hiding their moneys in Swiss bank accounts, we spent the evening in a new pub called S'guggloch, where drinks are about a third of the price they were in Strasbourg (I guess this isn't hard), before some pretty intense table football battles going again, with me and Toto going 5-0 down to the girls before coming back to win 6-5 and therefore avoiding a semester of bragging.



Tuesday was a particularly interesting day, as I had a lecture about Nazi War Criminals in which I was the only foreign student, and see that taught from a German point of view could be interesting. Also, I'm slightly amused by just how much the lecturer looks like Santa. I always used to wonder what Santa did for the other 364 days of the year, now I know that he's a professor of History at the University of Konstanz with a specialism in Germany's National Socialist past, who'd have thought it?? In the evening I had my first meeting with the LEI (Local Erasmus Initiative), which is a committee in which I am one of 2 Erasmus students helping, to organise events for foreign students this semester, including a trip to Heidleberg, and the rather interesting choice of speed-dating, which could be interesting, but is more like to be an epic fail....mal sehen! After the meeting I dashed to Enrique's to meet some of his Chilean and Italian friends who are also absolute lads, and I watched Inter vs Barcelona there. Very surprised by the result, but maybe the volcano ash played it's part is destroying Barcelona after their 400km coach journey.

Yesterday was also good. My weekend, which begins at 10 o'clock on a Wednesday. Hang on, I'll just say that one more time for anyone reading this who isn't an Erasmus student...my weekend...which begins at 10 o'clock....on a Wednesday...has been good so far. After Andreas' ridiculously early class, I went back to bed until 3 o'clock, got up, went to play football. That must have been the first time in months that I played alright, gots me some goals, and the Wayne Rooney boots seem to be working so far. Quote of the week is gonna go down anonymously incase the person that said it reads this, "I read an article that girls from Belarus are nice, because you can buy them cheap on the Internet". Hahahaha. Anyways, after the football, I dashed into town with Toto to watch Bayern vs Lyon, in an absolutely packed pub, which erupted, badly when Ribéry was sent off, and very positively when Arjen Robben's shot deflected off Thomas Muller's head and went in. After that it was up to the uni for the Psycho party - organised by the psychological department, not an event for nutters. No rest for the wicked!! :-) :-) :-)
