final 24 hours in deutschland

[adrift_etc]

I've finished packing my bag, and tomorrow I leave my happy home in Germany for the mysteries of France.


It was offered to me to try to sneak my way into getting permission to attend school here and stay, but while I genuinely love waking up early every morning to work and never worrying about anything else, I decided against it for a couple reasons. For one - I don't speak fluent German (though I'm conversational now!), and for two - the process was full of dodgy uncertainties, and I'm just not sure I'm ready to commit to a permanent move here. While living Germany is dreamy, not seeing my mum for dinner every couple months is just sad.


I've developed a taste for 80s movies these days. Usually I'm not fussed about movies. I've also finished The Circle of Magic series, and had a read of Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology. Both excellent. And I've gone and maxxed out my phone storage downloading rock albums. I can't help myself.


I'm going to really miss it here.
