first day of the blog



it's a weird day.
definitely back to everyday life, finally.
i have been spinning around like a stupid for the last couple of months. back home, back here, summer school, back here, back home, meeting, back again... if i count the different beds i’ve been sleeping in - and all the times i woke up screaming... but that’s another story.

the point is that i have to get back to work. i mean real work, since for the last month i was basically just listening to talks and lectures all the time.
have to get back to the real world. was certainly away from it, even though being in good old heidelberg does not help much realising it.

yes, i’m living in heidelberg - germany - somewhere in the middle of the map of europe.
middle of nowhere, to some extent.

maybe i'm just feeling dizzy because of all the bureaucratic shit i've been doing in the last 2 days, it's amazing how many offices i have to call to say that i have a new address.

forgot to mention that as well. i changed flats a couple of weeks ago. was it then? or when else? don’t actually remember...
i think i’m the only person who’s actually able to make a moving last nearly six months... well, if you count the first time i thought about that, it was april 17th, my birthday. and now that i am nearly over, my new room is such a mess...
i didn’t build any piece of furniture, didn’t unpack things, am surviving with the first layers of clothes of each suitcase, even finding underwear is an adventure, jumping between boxes... well actually the entrance and the corridor don't look much better. my 2 new roommates must hate me. luckily they’re my friends, but still...

have to build the stuff, but i'm wondering when... if i start at 7 or so, when i get back from work, i’m sure our favourite neighbour will come to complain with his lovely manners! actually, if he rings the bell while i have a drill in my hand, i may be dangerous...

that's why i feel like the picture i chose to open the blog: empty drawers. i feel like there are empty drawers everywhere. everything need be put in its right place. just got no time to do it.

and today the cleaning lady in the lab brought 2 boxes of lindt pralines, which are strangely not expired, i think i am having the fourth, or maybe the fifth...

my bike is still at brian's place (which is actually my former place), i left it there when i picked up the car. then i wanted to pick it up, but i realised when i was on the bus - and already at half way! - that i had no key, so i had to come back walking because i was in the potential well of no buses, and i was so pissed off and destroyed that i didn't want to try again. but i am dead with no bike!

plus i found out that having a parking permit does not mean having a parking place! i spent an infinite amount of time driving around these little alleys looking for a spot for my tiny little car!

so that's a good start for the new month and semester, what do you think??? actually sounds like a very good opening for a blog, i think i will start one right now...

just need to find the right radiohead song to go with it to conceal the perfect mood...
