Woche 4 & 5
Sorryyyyyyyyyyy for not posting last week- my fiancé came to visit me last Sunday so I have been spending the week with him! So I'm going to do a double blog this week.
I'm still living near the beach in the holiday home, though I have had a few more viewings that have gone well this week that I'll hear about this coming week. I have another viewing tomorrow also. I have sent two emails to the British Council to complain about them not giving the assistants anywhere to live, or at least help cover hotel/AirBnb costs (I'm unsure why the company cannot cooperate with local universities to help accommodate teaching assistants- if ERASMUS students can stop in university halls, why can't we?). No response yet, so I'll send another on about Thursday if there's still no response. Not very happy with that side of things.

Montag 9/10
Cast ur minds back and close ur eyessssssssss...
I get up at the ungodly hour of 5:30 to get the bus at 6:30 to be at work for 8. Everywhere is pitch black, literally have to use the torch on my phone, walk past the bus stop several times because I simply cannot see it, but think "no I will find it because if I've gotten up this early for nothing I'll be so peed off". Arrive at school, first lesson dragged, no one answered me, felt like I was talking to myself, I get it it was Monday morning, but help meeeeeeeee. Second lesson went ok, but the book ambiguously had a column for "Personal Qualifications" for a section on jobs, I took it to mean educational/training qualifications, but they meant personality traits, this confused the students too. Copied some papers for the lesson I did on Tuesday. Go to some viewings and grab lunch in town. Viewings went absolutely appalling. Spent ages travelling to one just to be there 5 mins and get told "you're not what we're looking for", then the second viewing I'm convinced didn't exist, tried to find the address and was just in the middle of an industrial estate, but by this point I was much too frustrated, tired and fed up to go on. Go home and watch Familien Duell (Family Fortunes in German!), some show that's like Tabu?, and Jeopardy!
Dienstag 10/10
Bus driver decided to chat to two women for 10 mins, making me not late but just on time (I prefer being early to things). Had to start my lesson and it went really well, everyone engaged and seemed interesting in it, and it took up the whole 90 minute lesson slot, woohoo! Next lesson I did a short presentation on Birmingham, then took a small group out to speak English with, which also went well. Went to another viewing, which I also didn't get. Went home and repeated Montag, but also watched Michael Bay's TMNT. Don't ask me what it was about - I didn't have a clue what happened but I don't think my German was to blame.
Mittwoch 11/10
Bus driver stopped for a cig but interestingly took less time than the previous bus driver talking to the ladies. First lesson had to listen to Pink- Family Portrait a copious amount of times while students filled in the gaps to the lyrics, ordered picture cards and translated the lyrics. Second lesson they went through their tests and wrote up a neat, corrected version, then the topic of going to the doctor was introduced, and I have to prepare a lesson on it for after the break. Actually got home at 16:00, the earliest all week.
Donnerstag 12/10
Regular teacher didn't need me in her class, so accompanied my mentor teacher to her refugee class. They all seemed a bit bummed to be learning German instead of English, and between you and I, they spoke to me in the English they could as I worked with them. It was very interesting and eyeopening, and made me angry that the UK won't take on more refugees (it is what I have considered doing in the future - teaching English to refugees/immigrants). Got to work early and spider mapped some ideas for a lesson on going to the doctor. After work I popped to the bank because it was 3 weeks and my bank card STILL wasn't here, they sent another and gave me my bank account number, then I went to a branch a bit closer to home because I had forgotten to get my IBAN number. The man saw my passport and spoke to me in English, which threw me off and ended up in a "Nein, no, I mean nein!" situation.
Freitag 13/10
Officially broken up from work for half term. Was very good to have a lie in. Contact lenses ripped, so sent an unhappy email to Specsavers (have been complaining to everybody this week). Bought chocolate treats called "Dickmann's" because it was too funny and would've been rude not to. Had schnitzel for tea. Watched "Der Preis ist Heiß" (The Price is Right (or literally Hot). Then I watched The Dark Knight in German (love u ProSieben) then inexplicably started to miss Prawn Cocktail crisps.
Samstag 14/10
I knew this day would suck because I would've been seeing Joe the next day, so I wasted it by waking up late, and popping to the shop for tomato ketchup, then getting into my PJs and napping a lot. Luckily, Return of the Jedi was on ProSieben so I got to watch that.
Sonntag 15/10
JOE CAME. I woke up dead early, then the bus from here to the city wasn't running until 10:30 but my train was at 11:08 (it takes an hour), so I had to do a 30 minute walk (uphill) to get the train from here to the city, to get to Hamburg airport. It's lucky I love him, honestly, I was bare sweaty Betty, then kept getting attacked by a wasp (I wear too much floral clothing for my own good). Several Candy Crush levels later, and after my first experience with the S-Bahn, I arrive at Arrivals in Hamburg airport. Joe phones "where are you", at arrivals, obviously, "no ur not", yes I am, turns out as I had walked in, he had walked out, and we must've both been hidden by a stair case. Did the romantic run up and hug, then went for a cig, felt very strange to have him here with me. Had a few hours til the train so chilled out in Hamburg for a bit, and ate the meal deal he'd bought for me (Boots - with prawn cocktail crisps!!!!!!!!!), then went for a cuppa tea at Junge Die Backerei (this became Joe's favourite thing about being here - I would ask for the food and his Milchkaffee in very good German, then my Brummy accent would come out full swing when I asked for an "English Breakfast tea". Every German baker would then smile, and wink knowingly, yet grateful I'd tried to use the language). Got the train back, went to the hotel, did all things PG-13, then I wanted to take him for pizza, but apparently Sunday is German national pizza night or something, so we had to go elsewhere, where we both had a schnitzel and Joe had some self-brewed beer (the pub brewed it- not Joe). Then we went for a drink and got a taxi back.
Montag
Got the train up to the holiday home by the beach, was blessed with a nice day. Popped to the supermarket for some supplies, Had dinner on the pier, was beautiful but service wasn't great, but whatever. I was just happy to eat fish with my favourite person on earth. Then we went for a drink and found our favourite bar - the bartender was always nice, was patient with my German and spoke English to Joe, and bought us pretzels and peanuts with our beers! Got back at about 22:00 and thought jeez I haven't got back this late in a while... Oh dear...
Dienstag
Went for a walk along the beach, held hands, walked up and down the pier, saw lots of dogs, went for lunch and had a Fischbrötschen (one of those massive fish fingers on a heavenly crusty cob), Joe was very impressed. Then we went for coffee and cake, and man that cake was good, Joe was also impressed. Headed back for a nap, then went out for tapas that night, which were amazing. Boy, I love grilled sardines. Then we went to the bar for a few more drinks. We were going to try a different bar, but as we sat down and looked at the menu, and the fact that Carlsberg was 5 euro, we decided it was just better the devil you know.
Mittwoch
Had a lovely cuddle and lie in, then went to minigolf, where I inexplicably saved myself by getting a hole in one on a very difficult hole (I know I use the word 'inexplicable' a lot, but a lot of things that happen to me tend to be). Somehow beat Joe, so treated him to lunch, as he's a sore loser. I wanted a nap when we got back, but there was a man blowing leaves outside - do you know how annoying that noise is???????? Went out for dinner, and man at almost every restaurant here they give you blankets, you're snug as hell. Then went for some drinks for the last time in Timmendorf.
Donnerstag
We got the bus to the city, but because the bus driver was a total bumhole, and it was full of kids, I made the executive decision to get off at Travemünde train station and get the train back to Lübeck instead. When we got there, we threw everything into the hotel then headed to the Netto downstairs, where we found BBQ Ribs crisps - maaaaaaaaaate. After nibbling on those we took a nap, then I had a viewing which went quite welll, then went for pizza at the place we wanted to on Sunday. The pizza was massive, but it's quite obvious that quantity came over quality, especially seeing at the waiter begged for a tip, even though he hadn't done anything for us... Then went for a couple of cocktails and back to the hotel but d'oh- Joe thought I bought my key, and I thought he'd bought his, but we'd left both of ours in the room. Numpties.
Freitag
Showed Joe around Lübeck, all the churches, canals and marzipan places. We went for another cake, which wasn't as good as the one we had had earlier in the week, but it was still pretty good. Went for dinner, had the best chicken salad I've ever had, then had a drink, and headed back to the hotel, to shamelessly watch The Phantom Menance.
Samstag
Joe and I went for a KFC, and I'm still a bit outraged, because not only has the Boneless Banquet (nor popcorn chicken) made it to Germany yet, but they didn't have baked beans as a side either?? But anyway chicken helped me get over it, then we went to a viewing, which also went well, then headed back into town for another walk around. We popped for a drink and watched the football, then on the way back to the hotel we stopped at a burger delivery place and bought some burgers to take up to the room and eat.
Sonntag
So yes now we are on today and I am suddenly a blubbering mess while writing this, after reflecting on the week I've had with my favourite person. I probably should've waited until next week to write this ha ha ha oh well. I'll put my Flammkuchen in the oven in a bit. I had to say good bye to him today, dropped him off at Hamburg airport, then came back, and had to walk past all the places we'd had a good time at. A month is a hell of a long time to go without the one you love, honestly. I knew it'd always be hard, but God it hurts so much. Har har. Anyway, bought my body weight in cheese for some reason from the shop, and a flammkuchen, and some raspberries, to spice up my sad looking fridge. Then I had a nap, and its taken me almost 2 hours to write this blog.
See y'all next week!!!!!!!!!!
