Have you heard of the swan who fell in love with a paddle-boat?

I got to visit him in Münster today!

Article from Ananova.com:

"A swan who fell in love with a swan-shaped paddle boat has been moved to a zoo with his plastic lover. Biologists in MUENSTER, north-western Germany, say the rare Black Australian Swan has been showing all the typical signs of love for its species, circling its plastic lover, staring endlessly at it and making crooning noises.The swan now refuses to fly south for winter without his mate. Park keepers say that 'Black Peter' as the lovesick swan is known, refused to leave the boat on the AASEE LAKE - which also should be taken off during the cold weather. Boat-owner Peter Overschmidt has agreed not to lock his boat away for the winter. He said: "When you see how Peter circles the swan boat you know there could be no other option, it's the centre of his life." Hearing about Peter's plight ALLWETTER ZOO then agreed that both Peter and the boat could spend the winter on their pond near the elephant enclosure, which is more protected from the elements than the lake. Zoo director Joerg Adler said: 'This arrangement could go on for ever because the animal now firmly believes he has found a partner for life.' "

Black Peter is so handsome, he's got a beautiful red beak.

Ha, I caught them cuddling ;)

When my friend Carolin took this picture, Black Peter definitely didn't like the fact that I stepped up so close to his swan lady! He fluffed up and clamored at me! He's very protective of her. It was very funny to meet him :)

 Hope y'all are enjoying your Thanksgiving Break!

My new apartment

   Hello everyone! Guess what, I've moved!! I'm going to college in Münster now. Well, I'm still home most weekends but Münster is where I stay during the week. I love having my own place. Do I get lonely sometimes? Yes, but studying keeps me busy. Let me show you what my new apartment looks like...*grin* My family and me have been working on it for weeks. There's one big room, a tiny bath and kitchen....

This is my little entertainment area ;)...I love this couch!

Where I study and write to you 

There's me waving at you!

Wanna take a look into my kitchen?

This is where I do my cookin...all kinds of crazy stuff happens in here!

I just had to have this toaster..it can toast "I love you" on bread!

The bathroom....

how about that toilet seat? Hehe..I'm such a girl, can't help it!

About time to go to bed....when you want to turn the lights off, all you have to do is clap your hands twice!

Sweet dreams, Kimba & good night, y'all!

Come visit me one day!

I'm done with all my final exams!!! Today was my last one: the oral exam in Social Science. I was so nervous about that as I had to talk in front of three men and they were writing everything down. But I ended up getting an A !!!  Yay, now it's party time! I'm flying off to the beach with my friends in two days to relax.

Something funny happed today. Well, I wore new shoes to school and they hurt so badly. So on my way home, the pain got unbearable. I ended up taking them off and walked home barefooted! I got some funny looks downtown but I didn't care. It was either: Walk like you are hampered OR set a new trend: Back to basic ;) No shoes!!!

This week is my last of German High School!

Yaay, finally! I still have big exams to write but no more classes!

It's a tradition over here that all the 13th graders dress up during the last few days of school. Yesterday we had "famous couples day". Many great costumes! As I was dressed up as Angel, my friend Karin -the devil- wouldn't quit poking me. (haha) And hey, I actually got to wear my SHS graduation gown once more.  Lots of fun.
