So, it’s finally here. My last post in England for a while! It’s really scary to think that in less then 24 hours I will be boarding the plane at Manchester Airport… next stop Munich! I’ve just finished all my packing, which involved some humouress attempts to weigh the suitcases on our regular ‘person’ scales! I don’t move into halls until Tuesday because of the Oktober Fest taking place throughout Bavaria at the time and don’t actually start lectures until 17th October. Score!

Sorry my updates have been spasmodic over the summer. I’ve been used to updating everyday in the summer so it’s been a bit weird writing monster posts every few weeks then realising once my specified internet time per week (can you tell i’m bitter?!) that I’ve missed out half that I wanted to say! I’ve had a brilliant summer though, despite being busy at work, it has been immense. Went out in Kendal on Friday night with my friends from work - message to you all, avoid Passions… it’s a little bit rubbish. More worryingly was my new found liking for tequila. Me thinks I’ve found my new beer. And we all know how well I can stomach that (Not)! I’ve heard the beer is 4 times stronger in Germany. I don’t expect to have much of a fully functioning liver when I return!

So it’s auf wiedersehen for now! I’m preeettty sure I have internet in mein Zimmer next year so I’ll be in touch really soon! I think I’m gonna cry!
