Leaving Basel

I will be gone the next week, visiting Märrie, one of my best friends, who I met online. She lives near Bonn in Germany, about five hours away by train, and we try to see each other every three months or so. Can’t wait to see her again! We always get along so great, it’s fantastic!

I’m leaving tomorrow morning, have been packing and preparing yesterday and today, and very glad to say that I managed to get everything done. Feel incredibly accomplished that I even cleaned my room and did my hand laundry… *g*

I’ll be staying with Märrie and her incredibly nice family until Tuesday – not quite as long as I’d have liked it, but we’ll spend loads and loads of quality time (aka giggling, talking, sightseeing and museums) together. I also would like to visit my grandmother’s grave, which is only about an hour from where Märrie lives. My mom has given me money to buy a rose tree and plant it there.

On Tuesday I’ll meet up with Sibylle (who’s visiting friends of hers near Cologne) and we’ll come back together, because on Wednesday we have to be in Zurich for the BonJovi concert. On Thursday I’ll have to work, and on Friday I’m leaving for Dresden with my family, for a family reunion. And sometime in between I have to unpack and repack and hopefully do some stuff for uni… Whee, busy life, that!

Not exactly my style, truth be told — I need time for myself, at home, and these two weeks are not exactly fun to me. Specially since I could do better things with my time than spend them with relatives I don’t really know. But I’m sure we’ll have fun anyway…

Wish everyone who might read this a good time! *hugs*
