London, I'm coming!

I'm a London-addict. Literally.
Since almost a year I'm trying to get to London in school holidays, over the weekend or somewhen else. Now I have the chance to get there because my aunt wants to visit London for a crazy shopping trip and she asked me to come with her. (No, I'll not shop there 24 hours, I want to visit the town!)
Of course, at exactly this point in time my oral exams take place. Yeah, that sucks.

Now we're going to find another date for the flight (btw: one flight costs only 24 Euros, that's about 30 Dollars, from Germany to London). I really, really hope that there's another cheap flight later next month. Luckily I'll go to Berlin next weekend for four days, which will be really cool. Berlin is a great city, not just because its historical background but also because of the culture and nightlife there. I say: If you're tired of Berlin, you're tired of life!

Next time with some cool Berlin pictures, Andy

Heeelloooo, anybody out there?

Oh God, life has become so boring after the exams. I think I got used to all the stress and now: Boredom. Everywhere.

This week my days got more and more senselessly (senselessly? sounds wrong. I'm still fighting with the language...). Today I arrived about 20 minutes too late at school. I was running down the floors with the heavy backpack and my camera (I intended to shoot some pictures in B/W) and as I arrived at the classroom I saw the door standing open. Wondering why, I tapped in slowly. What did I see? Eh?
Two classmates, sitting there and waiting for the teacher. Unbelievable.

"Hey, where are the others? Where's the teacher?"
"Well, we're the only ones here"
"Seriously?"
"Yeah."

Obviously even the teacher didn't feel like doing his lesson. Now I don't wonder anymore why the German School System ended up as one of the worst systems in the PISA-Test. (Pisa is an europe-wide test of all school systems across EU-countries, you may have heard of it).
Ok, I'll give it a second chance tomorrow, so I will attend the so-called "lessons".
It's the last day before school holidays anyway.

That's it for today, I'm gonna try to get my shitty web page working now, but there's little hope...

Cya, Andy

Pollen and the chaos

I'm back, baby!

Sorry for letting you wait for such a long time but I was really busy in the last few days.
Ok, so here I'm sitting with my pint. With nothing to write about.
Oh, except one thing: Something has been pissing me off since a few days.
Pollen.
They're just everywhere! A few minutes ago I was printing out a photo. So I laid it down to get the ink drought. Within seconds there were pollen on the sheet! And I wasn't outside, it happened in my room.

Usually it's quite clean and tidy in my room, except these days. I'm preparing my portfolio to apply to university, but before, I need to apply for an internship. I think six advertising agencies are enough to send my application to. Unfortunately it turned out to be a total of about 70 pictures which have to be printed. My room is just a mess. Thousands of sheets of paper lieing around everywhere. You really need to be careful if you walk into the room.
I can see the moment come when my mother opens up the window an a big blast makes the chaos perfect.

So long, need to watch TV now.
Bye Bye, Andy
