As I thought might end up being the case because, well, I'm me, I have pretty much neglected the existence of this blog the last few weeks. I kept meaning to update with a new post, but somehow other things kept cropping up. That and the fact that when I actually did have time to sit and write a post I have been so tired that all I've done is slept. Making the most of my time in Germany right there.
So, a quick summary of what I've done in the last few weeks. Despite having only been out here a couple of weeks, half term was from the 18th-25th February, and as both my flatmates went home, I decided to jump on the bandwagon and do the same. I didn't actually go back home to London, but instead I met mum at the airport and we spent a quick but amazing few days in Dartmouth, before I flew home again ready to start back at work on Monday. I know it's not Germany, but it seems a shame not to post a couple of pictures...
The following week was fairly quiet, but we did have a new addition to our flat! A girl from Australia called Francesca who did the same placement as me at the school three years ago is back here to study in Heidelberg for the year, and as she had to wait a week for her student accommodation to be available, she joined us in the flat for the week. We had a bit of drama at first, as having only arrived on Sunday evening, she got locked in the toilet for 40 minutes on Monday morning. Still half asleep, I ended up calling Joanne at 7am having tried unsuccessfully to get the door open, and eventually we had to unscrew the air vent in the door so we could get the key and open the door from the outside. You'll be glad to know that they're putting in a new lock in the Easter holidays... After that though we had a nice week, and it was great to speak to someone who did the exact same placement as me, especially as she was just 18 when she first came here too.
On Saturday, I ventured into Heidelberg again and decided to investigate the castle. I am going to be a history student after all. Although the walk up looks horrific, the view from the top is worth it. Here are a couple of the pictures I took, but you'll see more of the castle in my next post.
It was a really nice day in the end, and a good end to a bit of a tiring and stressful week at work. To finish it off I went home and baked a tray of cupcakes and settled in for a girls film night with my flatmate. All I'll say is I sincerely hope no one ever finds out how much chocolate we consumed that evening.
