27 April 2010; 15.23: I decided late last night to change the time of the photo every week, otherwise there’s going to be a lot of the same. Example: What was I doing tonight at 21.07? The same thing I was doing this time last week: watching Champions League football, but more on that later. This week’s time is 15.23.
It was a beautiful day out in Hamburg - around 15 degrees Celsius (~60 F), and I spent the morning in German class staring out the window, wishing I was outside. So, naturally I spent the following hours outside by the harbour on a little man-made plot of grass basking in the sun and wishing I could understand the tour guide of the field trip who was stationed nearby. When my alarm went off to take a photo, I was walking past Hamburg’s idea of a real Steamboat. I believe it’s called the Spirit of Louisiana (or something similar), and it moves very quickly and very loudly - very unsteamboat-like. It’s charming, either way.
Challenge of the Day: Today was one major challenge all around. I still seem to be coming off in a way that is not conducive to my actual personality, and I’m coming up empty on ways to remedy that. Also, something went kaput with the house’s alarm, and every light in the house began to turn itself off and on, and the police were called. So yes, the Polizei were at the house today. Oy vey.
German Word of the Day: feiern - celebrate, which I am doing right now because my Bayern boys are going to the Champions League Final in Madrid!!!!!!! Now I just have to worry that they’ll lose to Barca (assuming Barca wins tomorrow) in the final. I cannot handle a loss to them in the final (I am also a Man United supporter - iknowiknow, walking contradiction) two years in a row. I’ll be forced to throw myself off the top of the Spirit of Louisiana into the harbour.
