A few things happened... good things...

E.g.: Daryl managed to book a flight to Germany (i.e. he's gonna visit me here in a fortnight) :p

I finally got my results (CAE exam/Cambridge), I can't believe it ...
I PASSED - AND GOT AN "A"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To be honest I was quite certain I'd passed but I'd hoped to get a "B" or so. I'm really happy - and proud:!:

I spent the weekend meeting friends and popping down the "Centro" (Shopping Centre, but in comparison to London shops here tend to be closed on Sundays) in Oberhausen with Jess. On Tuesday I met up with Mel in Essen where we managed to go for a drink and chat for over three hours *ggg*
I actually enjoyed myself and it feels good to see all my friends again.. Coming home also means "getting back a piece of my past" - sometimes it's nice but sometimes it also makes me realize that I don't miss my "old life". I'm quite happy with things being as they are and I don't intend to change that. For now it's okay the way it is and I'll just let things happen as I am curious and excited ...

Yesterday (Thursday) I took a tram up to C.Düsseldorf where I picked Tina up from the (railway) station.
I have to admit: Düsseldorf is boring. It bores me and I can't help it.
I used to like it as back then it meant fun, entertainment and a sort of alternative. But now it's nothing more than a "big village" full of dull, transparent and unfriendly people. It's still better than Meerbusch, though:b
I think once you've fallen in love with London, once you've lived there for a while, it's not possible to be impressed anymore:!:
I know it's not true but I tend to think I've seen it all in a way. (At least a lot;))
And I've been through a lot as well...

Anyway, Tina and I just walked around and chatted a lot before we had a look and walked down to the "Rhine".
Tina was really mean as well as she just had a "Subway" sandwich in front of my eyes (while I was starving and I love "Subway", I'd die for it):'(

It's not fair. Now that I'm here the weather's changed completely. It's not really warm anymore and raining quite a lot. I was actually looking forward to the opportunity to go for a swim and sunbathing whenever I feel like it. (As there's a lack of swimming pools and outdoor swimming lakes in London I missed it)

BTW that's me outside my mom's office in Düsseldorf:
