| | Things that happened in my proximity in the recent past:
1) I did not pass my Surface Science Exam. This is not surprising, as I did not know much about the subject when I took the test. What is troubling is that since then, I have not changed that fact considerably. And in about six months I get to take that Exam again and hope for the best.
2) My dad turned 50. He will be celebrating this weekend in Köln, about a quarter mile from his childhood home.
3) Nick's passport arrived in the mail (his mail, not mine). Provided he doesn't lose it or his ticket, he will be coming to visit in less than four weeks.
4) I went to the only Subway in Switzerland. Now I'm hoping for a Quiznos. I entered, greeted the person behind the counter, and immediately proceeded to place my order. In German. The girl then responded in English, which clearly wasn't her first language (It's not that her English was bad, she just had a very noticeable accent). This is not the first time people address me in English for no apparent reason. Once I was at Frankfurt airport, right where they check your passports, and the guy speaks to me in English as he's checking my German passport. Is English the cool thing right now? Are they just trying to mess with me?
5) After a week of clear blue sky during the day and cool, starry nights, it's raining tonight. Since staying up until 4 in the morning to see if it clears up seems foolish, I'll just catch the next lunar eclipse.
q.e.d.
