Busy, Busy!

I know I haven't been writing for two weeks again. But today is the first day of July and I felt I could start the new month with a post so that you get to know what changes the last month brought! Right now I am still in Aachen at my parent's house, but will leave in something like 2 hours. Before going back to Hamburg I am going to visit my grandma in the retirement home.

As I said, the last weeks have been busy and have brought some changes. Shortly after my last post I packed most of my stuff in Bad Honnef. I just left some few clothes and other things I don't need on a daily basis. The same day I left Bad Honnef I signed up for my thesis. Now I have three months to finish it and by now already two weeks of this time have passed.

With all my stuff I went to Aachen. A. was on her way from Hamburg to come and visit my parents again as well and so we met up that evening in my home town. We spend the weekend packing some of my stuff into boxes and into the car. We also went to my grandparents' flat to get some of their stuff. Since my grandpa died seven weeks ago and my grandma is living in the retirement home for over two years already we were free to take whatever we wanted to have. So we took some few furniture and also other things like vases and china for our new home in Hamburg. We packed it all into my mum's car, which she had lent me for the whole week.

We went back to Hamburg on Sunday and took two more passengers with us. When we arrived it was already late and so we had dinner at Subway before we unloaded all the things. We were too tired to unpack everything, though, and so we put everything just into the flat.

The next week we were unpacking my things and went to get more things. We bought a big closet, a bigger fridge and some other decorative things, like pillows and candles and stuff; you can tell: I'm now living with a girl! And, what's most important: I bought a used bike! This is really essential in Hamburg.

The week went by way too fast and was quite stressful. Besides getting new furniture A. & I also went to some kind of circus performance, for which she had gotten tickets over her company. Later that week we also went to a Midsommar party of Scandic Hotels directly at the Alster.

Not the circus tickets! Just other tickets I bought!

On Sunday I went back to Aachen and took some people with me. We had many traffic jams on the way and so the drive to Aachen took extremely long. We were even going off the motorway and took country roads for some time to avoid the traffic jams.

Anyways, the last week I have been here in Aachen. I went to the university library each day and was reading for and working on my thesis. Yesterday I wrote the first couple of sentences and hope to be able to continue working so successfully on it in Hamburg.

As I said before, I'm going back to Hamburg soon. I have most of my stuff packed again and will head to visit my grandma and then to the meeting point in 30 minutes. I can't wait to be back in Hamburg and will stay there for something like three weeks now. I want to get a routine in living with A. and working on my thesis in Hamburg.
