Aller guten Dinge sind drei

2 weeks and 1 day.

Bye bye Tilburg. You have been my home for the last three years, but it is time for me to return to the motherland. But, I will return in 2011, no worries!

Yesterday was my last exam. Unfortunately, I overslept it. Even more unfortunately, I will already be in Australia when the re-exam takes place. So, now I have to wait and hope that I can take a special re-exam before I leave. I feel like Germany against Serbia, the entire universe turned against me.

But, I also have some good news! I have figured out a packing system. It is quite simple; three suitcases for three different occasions: Australia, Fair in Düsseldorf, and Germany for when I return in December. It's a good system based on carefully selected piles of clothes.

You know what else is good? GERMANY! Hopefully we will get those 3 points tonight! Auf gehts Deutschland schießt ein Tor...

Soccer, Studying and Shoes

3 weeks and 2 days.

I am incredibly excited to go to Australia. I don't know how excited Australia is to receive more Germans in their country, especially after that extremly disappointing (of course satisfying for me) match on Sunday (Germany 4: 0 Australia).
Besides watching soccer/football I am studying for my last exam of my second year: Leisure in a Globalizing World. The progress is slow, I have too many other things on my mind.
Like, when am I finally going to get my Visa, when am I going to know where I will live in Melbourne, where am I going to watch the next Germany match, when is the Board of Examiners going to give me the "okay" for my Minor courses, who will be the new roommates in my house, which shoes am I going to take to Melbourne with me, and will I have my own screen on the plane?
As you can see, it is difficult to concentrate on studying when you need to decide on two pairs of shoes out of 30.
