I Can't Think of a Title
YAY for weekend trips to Freiburg. One thing is certain: The sun don't shine in Freiburg when I'm there. Saturday was a bit cooler and threatening with rain, so we nixed the mini trip to France. Maybe next time? We went out both nights and had a good time. Plus I got to go behind the bar and mix my own gin and tonic on Friday night. That was fun. And then he didn't even charge me. How else did we fill the time... shopping, eating, becoming one with nature, lounging around, watching DVDs, laughing, crying, drinking... Listed in no particular order. Actually, I don't remember seeing anyone crying, but I'm assuming there were tears shed after my departure :-)
A coworker asked me if I would do the English homework for her friend's son. This consisted of answering three questions related to a short article. The boy had already answered the questions in German, and they wanted me to check it over and translate it all into English. The article was a (ficticious?) letter to an editor from a young girl talking about how dolphins are kept in cages and used to make soup, and how they get caught and die in the tuna fish nets, so we shouldn't eat tuna fish or go to dolphin shows. Good grief! Supposedly the teacher is very strict and only gives out bad grades, so we'll see how well I do.
A fellow trainee at work who sits next to me is moving on to her next rotation after Friday. She's been here since January, and although we get along great, I have to say I'm really glad she's leaving!! This is only because she's always complaining about something. There's always some problem - with her parents, her boyfriend, any and every task at work, meals in the cafeteria, the room temperature, her car windshield, her vacation, her hair, the drive into work… Should I go on? I must agree, though - The cafeteria meals ARE pretty bad. But as for the rest, I can hardly take it anymore. I'm forced to listen to it the entire day, every day, five days a week. We have some good laughs every now and then, but usually she's just a downer. Even worse than Debbie Downer. So it's time to say goodbye to that.
It's also time to say goodbye to this post.
Goodbye.
Countdown until departure to Chicago: 1 week, 0 days, 11 hours

You forgot Aunt Fanny - and Jürgen, although I have this feeling, they're actually one and the same ;-) !
LOL
I love Aunt Fanny and I feel terrible about not mentioning her.
Hmm... Very true. No Jürgen, but plenty of Aunt Fanny. And last time it was the other way around. Very suspicious how we never see both of them at the same time :-)
