Ohh how we all love an update..!

So erm.. I should have done this sooner really, due to the fact that my memory is now failing and I can't really remember what I have done between now and that last time I wrote. Though I will try my best and perhaps once I get typing it will all just come out!
So the rest of that week, up until the Sunday, I didn't do too much. Though I did have some rather amusing conversations on msn on the Saturday night! :D
Then, on the Sunday Anne came home, so I had company once more! Woot. Lol. Hmm then what did I do.. I don't even remember! Wow this is going to be a boring blog.
On one of the days I went walking to this really gorgeous lake about half an hour from where I live! It was so peaceful and wow! Just wish I had had my camera with me to get a few pictures up. However I will be getting my camera from home soon!
Speaking of home... That's what I did!!! I booked flights to go home! So for all you blog readers out there.. I'm home 15th - 25th October! Be around and we can do stuff :D
Ohh in fact, another thing I did last Saturday - this is turning out to be more eventful than I thought - I got a haircut!! I was so brave.. I just went in and then immediately regretted my decision. I went to the nearest decent looking hairdressers, didn't need an appointment so sat down to wait. As I sat, I looked around me.. and what did I see? Two rather old, late 40s - early 50s, women cutting hair. And in all fairness, their own hairstyles weren't the best! Panic hit me. I just thought to myself.. they can't do my hair! I'm gonna end up having a bowl plonked on my head and them just cutting around it! Argh! But.. as I was taken to my seat to have my haircut... who should come out of the back room... A young woman with really gorgeous hair! And she was cutting my hair! Hallelujah!! So I managed to get that done and came out the other side more or less alive and with a better haircut than I expected! Phew!
Hmm.. so then the rest of the week, me and Anne didn't really do that much. We went into Potsdam a few times and walked around looking in shops at gorgeous clothes and shoes that I can't even afford to buy yet because I haven't been paid here yet! I saw the most beautiful pair of heels!! I wanted them. But I know I would have never for the life in me been able to walk in them! :( boohoo! Pretty lucky I couldn't afford them really!
Ohh and we found a British/American shop! PG Tips, Marmite, Walkers Crisps, Ben and Jerrys... I'm sure you can imagine the delight on my face when I saw all these things! Though I didn't buy anything! Ohh and Anne didn't know what fudge was! How do you explain what that is ?! I said it's like soft toffee.. though it's not really because I like toffee and I don't like fudge! But anyway, enough about toffee and fudge!!
The weather here has finally decided to be naughty and rain on me lots! :( the mean thing! But lately I have been in a permanent good mood for some reason unknown to me, so nothing can stop that, not even the rain! :D
Went into Potsdam yesterday and wanted to buy some salmon from the fish counter in the supermarket.. I thought I'd said everything really well in German (and I had.. to be fair)... but nooo they had to have put the signs in the wrong place so I had asked for a huuuuge piece of salmon instead of just a small one. But I mean come on.. salmon fillet.. you would assume that is a small one.. wouldn't you? Or is that just me. Then when I said no not that one, this one his.. the man got a bit angry and was like which. I can't do any bloody better than point through a piece of glass if they can't get their signs in the right place!! I got my salmon in the end though :D Gonna have it tonight! Yum! :D
So.. I've been left all alone again by Anne, she is going to a golden wedding anniversary for the weekend. Gonna head into Potsdam in an hour or so.

Ohh and then on Monday.. I have to spend about 5 or 6 hours on trains going to Cologne. Which cost me 167- € to go to an induction course that I have to do... a month after I started.. yes, that's right.. a month AFTER! And I have to pay another 30- € once I am there! Bit of a waste if you ask me. Though it does mean I get to meet some of the other language assistants in the area near me. Also from what I've heard from people who have already been there it's a laugh so I'm kinda looking forward to it actually :D

Well, that's all for now from me! Wasn't all that interesting but I'll try and update you sooner next time! Whilst things are still fresh in my mind!

Toodles for now folk!
