14th March 2006 - Day 148

Lab today was a horror. We started at 0830 and only ended at 1430. The experiment was not difficult, just that it involved a lot of waiting.

Plans of going to Baden-Baden got shelved.

We were extremely bored while waiting. The Betreuer must be the slackest I've seen. She only came over twice the whole day at the lab - once when we were starting and another time when we were packing up. Not that it is not good.

I managed to get hold of the Hausmeister to set an appointment with him. But he said I could only do that if I fill up a particular form, which I have no idea what it is.

I shall wait until he deposits it in my mailbox. Like he said he will do once he gets the list of people moving out at the end of the month.

I should make a trip down to the Akademisches Auslandsamt if the moving out problem is still not solved by this week.

There was another Flurversammlung in the evening. I didn't even know there was a new Mitbewohnerin on the floor.

The usual stuffs about toilets, showers and kitchen. Nothing of much interest since I would be leaving soon. It was slightly faster compared to the previous few times. Drifting away from the discussion topic is a common problem here.

As I was cooking dinner, Eves came around. We had an enjoyable chat. Things which a Auslander can only say to another Auslander. I was quite surprised when he realised that I'm an exchange student. I thought he already knew that. He's only in his first semester. Still a long way to go.

Tomorrow's experiment would take even longer.

So, maybe I should bring my grammar book along.
