It's now been 5 months since I've seen the family and I miss them. In that respect I am looking forward to going home. But for this dream to come to an end will be really sad. It's quite easy for someone to say, that is the funniest thing I've ever seen. However, I did see the funniest thing I've ever seen last night. It was so funny, I choked on my beer and was sick. I almost cried. I have never laughed that much before, even when Boris Johnson did the rugby tackle in the charity football match. Matt Briand is the most wanted man in Konstanz. What a fucking legend. He has claimed his second bed breakage in as many months. A perfect swan dive as the wood split into 2. Robbie's chair is also broken, so he is forced to now stand up all the time.
I was gutted on Thursday night, after playing for a while. I swear I am the Konstanz version of Darren Anderton, having broken my ankle 3 times (karate, football, ice skating), and as I felt the same pain again whilst making a save in goal, I thought that I would be out of the Konstanz World Cup this Saturday, which would kinda suck, cos I organised the thing. I hobbled to hospital on Thursday, although I accidentally went into the hospital neurological department, where the lady explained in the way that I was a very simple person (to be fair, I was trying to get an ankle xray and i did go into the brain rehabiliation clinic so she was probs right) that I had to go someone else. I finally made it there, had xrays, and they tried to put me in a wheelchair. I then burst out laughing hysterically, a wheelchair, I had a bad ankle, I wasn't paralysed. Instead they brought me out some rather flashy pink crutches, which they wouldn't let me keep, BASTARDS!
Having finished my exams, and surprisingly passing them all, which is actually a pleasant surprise, as I did SFA this semester, we went for a night out in Berrys last night. Excellent banter with Robbie being threatened to be kicked out for getting naked one time too many, Alex's hat being an absolutely whore before going missing in the haunted house, and Anneli pouring so much water over my head I was like a drowned rat. I woke up at 7.30 (after going to bed at 04.30) and just laid in bed and laughed for an hour and a half solid, before going back to sleep.
I went on the boat trip with the international office today, which was fun and awesome weather. At the end, me, Robbie and Alexey jumped off the boat as it came back in, much to the displeasure of the guys working on the boat. Excellent banter. Quiet night of Fifa with top lad Chris Halls and his sicknote housemate this evening. French Bastille day celebrations and watching Exorcist in the Haunted House tomo. Robbie's also cleaning his flat tomorrow, which will be great entertainment, so I might go watch for the afternoon. What a week! World Cup on Saturday, in their group England have Germany, Serbia/ Slovenia, Mexico and the USA. Can't wait. We will win. Obviously!
