From Baden-Baden-Baden-Baden to Barcelona

"So my brain is like a lot of little people. And there's this guy behind a desk. And someone will run in with some information for him. And he'll either sign it and they'll run off or he'll ignore it. That's for my basic motor functions. And in his office there's a big window, but tbh, he spends most of his time just gazing out of the window into space." (Scott)

Class entertainment like some of Scott's quotes, as well as craaaazy parties and spontaneous visits to places have characterised the last few weeks. I have booked tickets to the Southside Festival in Neuhausen in mid June and the Rock-Im-Park festival in Nuremberg in early June, so that as well as probably watching approximately 64 world cup matches over the next 6 weeks, I will probably also be seeing about that many bands live. Some of them are siiiiick, including Muse, Kasabian, Motorhead, Kiss, Jay-Z, Them Crooked Vultures, Airbourne, Rammstein, Sum 41, Rage Against The Machine, Pendulum, Slash, Ellie Goulding, Alice in Chains, La Roux, The Strokes, Florence and the Machine, Paramore, Beatsteaks, Biffy Clyro, Mando Diao and many others! Jealous? You should be! What will make the Southside Festival twice is good is that two of my friends from home, Ollie and Macca will be out here for it, so everything in Konstanz, there will be a big Schwaketenbad session on Wednesday 16th June and a houseparty at mine on the 17th!

So, what could make life better than the World Cup and all those bands live? Probably some more excursions and trips abroad? Well in 24 hours I will be on a beach in Barcelona with Sam!!!! I will be there for the Champions League Final, shame Barca didn't make it, I will see the Nou Camp, La Rambla, all the cultural sights, and obviously a lot of the nightlife! Speaking of nightlife, quality party at the Konzilgebaude last week, though I don't remember a lot of it. Apparently I sung all the words to Backstreet Boys, put a beer bottle in a bike water bottle holder, got thrown into an advertising board by Mate, and nicked some ppls drinks. Nejc, that may have been you, sorry about that bro.







There have also been some awesome Schwaketenbad sessions with the Irish guys, Americans and Marco, including Mike taking me out on the slide. Last time that happened, I broke my nose and lost some teeth and had to miss out watching an england match on TV, so this time was slightly less painful, hahaha.



Plans for the next little while might include some work, but otherwise the last plan for the end of the semester is to go to Tromso, in Northern Norway, where at this time of year there will be 24-7 sunlight. Would be an awesome camping trip and a goodbye to everyone at the end of July, and a real once in a lifetime experience. You can go to cities at any time, but I doubt I'd travel to the furthest northern points in Scandinavia and camp at any other time in my life!! I will also be visiting Liechtenstein in mid June to add to the list of places this year, most likely to the capital, Vaduz.

Erasmus is amazing, and so far Konstanz is absolutely shitting all over Strasbourg (except for you Patrick O'Brien, and you Sam Mueller!!)

:-D
