Drawing closer to the end

Well, its been a quiet past few days.  Haven't done anything as exciting as what I talked about in my last post, mostly just class and wandering around Freiburg.  The weather has begun to change around a lot - as the course is coming to an end so is the nice weather it would seem.  Its still sunny a lot of the time, but have had a few cloudy days and also periods of uncomfortable humidity too. 

Today has been a not so good day.  Had a test AND a speech today in class - two things which I (and most other students) hate.  So had a late night preparing for them both.  But worst of all, my friend Jenna is having to leave early and head back home tomorrow, due to family troubles :(  This of course put a dampener on an already not so great day.  So will be going out for dinner tonight to farewell her. 

Other than this, am re-thinking the trip to Switzerland this weekend, as it is forecast to be cloudy and stormy all weekend.  Would still love to see Lucerne, but might just have to go another time when the scenery is more likely to be visible.  May still go to Basel on Saturday - as a city it will have more indoor things to do, and I could also meet up with Jo's friend Catia who I met in Australia.  Not sure yet though.  Alternatively will have to check out other things to do that I haven't yet done in and around Freiburg. 

Must also apologise to everyone I have promised a postcard to - they have been written for around 2 weeks now, but as yet I have been unsuccessful in actually finding a post office.  Something which I will attempt again tomorrow, but otherwise will just have to post them at the airport on the way to London.  Also if anyone feels so inclined, I am more than happy to send you my Dundee address (once I verify it anyway!) so you can send me mail ;)

Since this post is a little more gloomy than my previous ones, I might cut it a bit shorter than usual.  Despite what it seems like from this post, I am still enjoying myself and will endeavour to do as much as possible in the few days I have left in Freiburg - 5 to be exact.  Though pre warning to my parents, with the amount of sleep I have been running on, I'm almost sure to crash once reaching London.  All part of a good holiday though!

  1. It is sad that Jenna is leaving and that the Luzern plans fell through...I hope you have a great time in Basel though.
