Hello world!

It's been a while. Turns out that MSN is allergic to Ireland, or at least any part of it that I am in. I have tried repeatedly for many months without success. For some reason Germany suits it though. How peculiar.

By the way, I'm in Germany. This is because I have a tendancy to do unpleasant things to myself. Not that Germany is unpleasant, it's actually lovely, I just can't speak the language (even after 7 years learning it) and I am failing to integrate. But to explain a little bit better, my course includes 8 months work placement and I, for reasons beyond my comprehension, decided not to go to Dublin like everyone else but to live and work in a smallish town in a country where they don't believe in vegetarianism. So now I cycle to work everyday and watch the Simpsons in German and communicate through mime.

Next time, once I've had the chance to make it up, I shall include a short summary of what I've done in the past however many months. It will include world peace, and writing letters with funny dots over them. Anticipate it. Bis dann, tschüss!
