Can't take it...

Sometimes it doesn't take much to let old wounds brake open again and alle the walls you successfully built around your heart are torn down within seconds. And then it will take forever to heal ...

Photos!

Finallly, I managed to upload the pictures I made here.

As usual, they are here.

 

If anyone is wondering: I'm feeling really, really good here . I like it. I found nice girls to hang around, and at work I'm getting better in remembering names, places and faces .

Next weekend I'll be home for the first time since I've been living here. It's strange, on the one hand, I'm really looking forward to it (plus, I need several things ), and on the other hand I feel quite independent here, which I don't want to give up...

I! Am! In! Cologne!

Yep. Here I am. And it feels good!

Anyway, nothing else to say, just ask me...

  Pictures will follow as soon as I'll find a way to upload them!

I'm moving

 I'm definitely moving to Cologne . On the 5th and 6th of August.

I have Internet there...

By the way: who ist still reading here? Why don't you leave a comment, so I'll know?

It's over now.

Well.... this is it. School is definitely over now. On Friday I got my certificate for my Abitur.

Me and my certificate (and dad...):

And yesterday we had our ball. Sooo, I'm out of school. I still have to repeat it for myself .

A little film about my crazy year:

And: I have a room in Cologne now. If you want to know where, contact me please.

Opera in Castings? Why not?!

I just read this article of the German magazin "Stern" . Watch it! (You'll find a YouTube link there.)

Britische Castingshow: Das kleine Opern-Wunder - stern.de

How crazy am I?

I was a little bored, so I klicked on the Wise Guys homepage. Again. Usually, I'm there only once a day, which would have been this morning...

So when I surfed on their homepage this afternoon, I saw that you could already buy tickets for the "Spezialnacht" (a special concert) in February. There was a link to TicketOnline (ticket service), but online reservation wouldn't work. So I called...

Now I have a ticket: 1st row, seat 13 (pretty much in the center )...

 Wise Guys (Wo der Pfeffer wächst) - "Dieses Lied"

Cologne No.2 (finally)

Alright, I wanted to tell some people in person first before spreading the news openly.

I will spend the next year in Cologne, as a volunteer at the opera house. For the German readers: this will be a FSJ (Freiwilliges Soziales Jahr) in der Kultur. (Yes, you can do this .)

I'm still searching for a place to live there, so if someone knows a good address, tell me!

I still can't quite believe I made it. Wow!

Till then, there will be also the oral part of my Abitur and then a little "".....

 

I hope I'll have internet there, so I can keep in touch with you.

Give me toys ;)

Okay, it's 0:35am and I'm still here. I could go to bed, but I don't feel like it. I should, I know. I have stuff to do tomorrow - eehh, today. Instead, I'm surfing through the world wide web, always looking for new toys I can play with.

This post is somehow a product of it... Never mind, I'll go to bed right now before it's 3am and I'm still here (happened before...). Good night!

So then, Cologne No.1

I was in Cologne this (=last) weekend. Yep, as a tourist, but more important, as a Wise Guys Fan. Actually, I was there because of them. I went to their Open Air concert on Saturday night and stayed until Monday.

After I had met some other fans earlier this year (who I first knew from the Wise Guys Forum), I decided I had to be there as there would be lots of others from the forum I'd like to meet in person.

Crazy as I am, I decided to stay longer - with a girl I had never seen. Well, we had been chatting and emailing. :D A new friend! The weekend was great! :)

So then, on Saturday morning we left Heidelberg and we arrived in Cologne at about 10am. The others already met for breakfast, but we went to our hotel first (a very nice one, in Deutz). Then we joined the others at about 12noon. Sounds nice. Well, the concert started at 6pm!!! and we had to wait until about 3.30pm to enter the place. The time was over very quickly as we met known and new people and talked immediately :).

We entered and waited another 2 hours, but we had videoclips (which we accompanied) and people around us that made them feel like 2 seconds *g*.

The concert itself - WOW! Nearly every song was sung by both - the 5 on the stage and the crowd in front of it. There were only a few songs where listening was preferred (ballads and new songs), and one which we sung nearly alone *g*.

The weather forecast had said that there would be rain, but it only started when the concert was over. The concert was over, but not this night - there was the aftershowparty. Good music, great people - what more do I want?! Oh yes, "stars" who can stand right in the middle of the crowd and party just like us. Honestly!

On Sunday, we slept in, noticed that it was raining, and had breakfast before we left for the city.

We visited the cathedral (I love it - it's simply a WOW!). Then we wanted to go to the chocolate museum (2 girls, what do you expect?! ;) ). But it was to crowded (remember: rainy Sunday...), and so we decided to be crazy and went off for the Wise Guys office. (no more details here o:) ) In the evening we went to the Rhine (it had stopped raining) and watched people walking by. And we drank Kölsch (Cologne's beer).

On Monday morning it was - raining. Again. This time it seemed to be worse. After 5 minutes in the rain my shoes were wet. My socks were wet. My feet... And I had to stay like this. Anyway, we went to the chocolate museum again (after leaving our luggage at the main station). Very interesting and lots of (free) chocolate :D. We couldn't resist to drink a hot chocolate there *yummy*. To flee the rain, we went to the cathedral again and sat down for a while. Then we crossed the square and went to the main station to catch our train back home.

Two things left to say:

• The Cologne accent is cute ;)
• The width of the Rhine is just right in Cologne :D
