I´m BAAAACK

So, the death of my beloved Maxwell, computer to the stars has caused some troubles for my blogging progress. I have been sad and uncomunicative for a while. And I have realised just how much I am dependant on my little silver box. I still don´t have a new one. I still don´t have an answer about how sick Maxwell is. I am in the library a lot. Unfortunately since MSN, Skype and the like are not considered academic I am uncommunicative. I have however found out that Facebook and blogger are ''academic'' sites. I am not quite so sure why. I am guessing because the library doesn´t really get a lot of people chilling on blogger. Just me then. So the moral of the story is, even if I am taking pictures (for the first time in my life) I am not able to post them. This makes me a little sad on the inside.
But I can share some of the weirdnesses of life in Mannheim!
For a moment contemplate a library. Good. Now contemplate the reference section of a library. Good. Now contemplate a library in which the entire thing is a reference section. Conveniant no?
That is how the library works at the university of Mannheim. I guess it has its pros and cons. The books I want are always available. But I can´t take them home and play with them. Realistically though I think that it´s probably a good idea. The books that I take home in Canada chill on my windowsill for a long time until they make me feel guilty enough that I actually read them. That is about how it usually goes. I feel that this system is much better.
I feel like I should talk about my weekend. I partied a little. Which was good. I contemplated the utter magnificance of the Wasserturm. Pride of Mannheim. Seriously the place is a water tower. Pretty I guess but I don´t understand the obssession with it. Atle, Hanna and Matt swam naked in the Verbindungs canal behind the Hafenstraße residence. During the middle of the party. I think they may have a very contageous form of super AIDS combined with hypothermia now. Seriously. That is so dirty. They have this thing for swimming naked though. It´s all good I guess because I am now harbouring a not so secret ambition to swim naked in the Wasserturm fountain.
My classes here at the university are MESSED UP! I don´t know if York is giving me credit for my language courses and I don´t know what International Relations courses I am allowed to take. It is a happy place of joy and fun. :P
I am really looking forward to tomorrow, for the VISUM pub crawl. Advertised as the best night you´ll never remember.
In other news I am not looking forward to Wednesday morning.
The Studentenwerk Mannheim has sent me confusing stuff about my rent. They have my bank details. They told me that they would withdraw my rent monthly. Nope. Not the case. I hate bureaucracy. Not true. I hate bureaucracy that doesn´t work.
I think that is all for this post. I am headed off to dinner with the international students. We are SUCH COOL KIDS. Kiss kiss.
