The Honeymoon's over, it seems.

Truth is, this week's been so difficult!

Homesickness has officially set in, I find myself thinking 'I'm so sick of Germans' and also thinking of how much easier situations would be if I could just speak English!

On Monday I went to Wuppertal Uni to register, only to get fobbed off by the (very rude) woman, who simply said 'I don't know why you're here, I can't help you'. Cheers Love.

For some reason they don't seem all too happy about there being a person wanting to do lectures without getting credits in return, somehow other Unis in the area seem to have the idea, Dortmund ,Duesseldorf, Koeln.

After spending all of Monday frustrated and upset, I also found this week that even really tiny stupid things have the potential to annoy me, makes me very pleasant to be around :).

Today a teacher fell out with me in a rather serious way because I used her tip-ex without asking.

In the staff room at school there's bits of stationary in little pots everywhere, which I honestly thought were for the staff, in general. Anyway this woman sits and watches me take it, and use it without saying a word. I go off to photocopy something, come back and she was stood, ready and raring holding her tip-ex. She then proceeded to make a scene, in front of the entire teaching staff in the room. 'This is mine and you just took it. Then I have to get up and put it back myself' (for the record I left it on the table with the intention of returning it to it's place once I had returned from the photocopier)

The question I ask here, is why watch someone take your stuff and use it, before saying anything? and why make a massive scene? All she needed to do when I picked it up was say 'oh, that's mine' and I would have apologised and put it back. She basically made me look a sodding idiot in front of everyone. How German of her.

Anyway on the upside, it's my birthday on Sunday. and mum's coming to visit, I'm so excited to see her, not only because I'm super homesick, but also because she comes bearing gifts :). We're going to see Duesseldorf, Koeln and Remscheid in all it's glory this weekend, Deutsche Bahn's definitely getting some cash out of me this weekend.

Oh and on a random note, aspirin is only available at the chemist and costs 5.20 Euros! this is something you can get in Asda for 13p.

God I miss Asda. and orange cordial.
