So, I've got just seven days left in this country. Unbelievable. This year has gone by so fast. I've experienced so much and have really had the best times of my life. Summer has finally come - for this week at least - and I've been to the lake almost every day this week. I've even managed to get a bit of color without turning into a lobster! I also went shopping with a couple of friends today. I wanted to get something for my going-away party on Friday. I found a pretty dress and perfectly matching jewelry all for under 25 Euros. Not bad!
It's just amazing to think that, had I not extended my stay here, I would have never had these experiences. I wouldn't have had the chance to go to the beach with my friends, because the weather was never nice enough. I wouldn't have been able to just hop on my bike and ride into town for a dish of icecream or to go to the town's fair. I wouldn't have been able to have a little campfire on the rivershore late at night. I wouldn't have had the opportunity to go with friends to an XXL restaurant (where everything you order is XXL or bigger) and stuffed myself and laughed myself to tears on the way back. There's just so much I would have missed out on.
There's a German song that fits perfectly to these perfect days. Here's my translation:
Diese Tage - KRIS
I love these days. (2x)
It's 7:30, the sun's shining.
The sky is blue, baby, that's how it should be.
I'll pack my things,
today we're going to the beach.
The time has been going by too quickly
Thoughts, ghosts and black clouds which have followed me,
As of today, they're gone forever
Life's got me again, today's perfect
I listen to my favorite songs on repeat,
Remember the good times.
My life's a party, nothing can bother me now.
It's going to get loud, because no one hears when it's quiet.
Yeah, no one hears when it's quiet.
Refrain (2x)
I love these days.
It doesn't matter how bad it was.
I don't want to complain.
I love these days!
I'm burning my old life in the backyard,
I go running again, get fit,
Now it's getting started.
I won't order fastfood again, only self-made food.
Enjoy the day, stop stressing myself.
I throw out my old lyrics, sit in the studio,
Make everything new, everything better
Raise the roof
No boss, no appointments
Everything works out by itself, the perfect world
Refrain (2x)
Refrain (4x)
And the original:
So, the next post I make is when I'm already back in America. Crazy thought, huh?
Bis dann
