Who care's? It's Easter!

So this week hasn't really been all that interesting.
My timetable has been totally messed up. I've been turned away from classes, not turned up to the right ones and well it was just rubbish. I've done maybe 6 hours total. I work hard for my money really. The classes have all been quite boring too - no gems to quote, alas. I also was told off today for not giving the students enough feedback and not correcting them enough. 

On Tuesday I went to house group. This generally end in lively debates [that took a really long time to translate vivant - my brain has been working in French all week]. Normally these move much too fast for me to be able to contribute very much, I just listen and follow. This time, I waited patiently and put my point across. I like that group. There's one guy who for the life of me I just couldn't understand a word he said. I ended up hoping he would talk less! Had this not been in the middle of the debate I would have asked him to slow down and maybe use a bit more Hochdeutsch (the equivalent of Queen's English) but I didn't want to interrupt anyone and I picked up most of what was happening from the responses anyway. :D
What else have I done... I tried buying my sister a present. I know exactly what I want to get her but haven't found it yet. Nicky told me yesterday where I could probably get it but I don't have time to go before I come home. Sorry Katie, you'll have to wait :) During this rather brief conversation, one of the younger students walked past and told him to stop flirting. This made me giggle - it's a such a teenage boy thing to do!

I passed on playing football and did some work instead. I have finally settled on a topic for my German YA essay. It's really rather geeky that this is exciting for me but I don't care. I've spent ages trying to dream up a title and now I have a working one.
There is packing to be done but I can't be bothered. I'm setting off home in 3 hours, I should maybe step on it. In around 12 hours I'll be landing at Manchester - home sweet home!
