Brockhaus-Grand

"I am Wiebke Brockhaus-Grand, it iz nine o'clock and I am German, my lectures vill start on time."

At 9am the last thing I wanted was a truly frightful man/woman barking at me from the lecture hall. I daren't even doodle. Still, we had a good time trying to discern whether she was male or female, it turns out the latter. Nor was this an English lecture, it was instead more of an anatomy one. I now know more about the larynx, lungs and trachea than I ever cared to, with helpful comments from Adolf Grand such as "and if you aren't breathing, you have trouble." Damn, really?

I now move to the man with the magical voice, a nice man by all accounts, and my final lecturer for the day. He did not have so much a 'boring' voice, but a soothing one, so soothing in fact that I missed the final thirty minutes of his lecture due to being lost in the land of nod. Waking up in a small puddle of drool on my desk and jacket, nice. Suffice to say, my immediate class mates found this rather amusing.

As I type, I look into the eyes of a white tiger and listen to goings on of the rest of the flat. I think things are settling somewhat after freshers, everyone is able to just breathe out and let their livers relax.

All of a sudden though I have noted that there is something wrong with the flat dynamic. I'm not yet sure what, I can't just pin it down, but something is off. I will inform you if I find it. 'Calm before the storm' comes to mind?

I intended to spend this time napping, it has gone well as you see. Instead, I think I'll just inject myself with caffeine? Or drink it. That seems less drastic when I think about it.

Oh, and I found a post office.

  1. This is utterly hateful in places and moreover, inaccurate. I would suggest that you refrain from publishing your crass and derogatory ideas. It is simply not acceptable to discriminate against people because of their gender identity, and completely moronic to associate someone with Adolf Hitler because they happen to be German. Your opinions are short-sighted and inappropriate.
