Ghent? No.. Sorry guys. It's actually Gwent.

This is a bit of a rant, sorry everyone.


It's Easter break here and it's just gone midnight on a Thursday/Friday night-morning.. (you get the idea). I'm back in Monmouth after a week in German. I had a great time in Münster with the Hey family. They were the family Andy stayed with when he was over there for his three month exchange. They made me part of the family for the time I was there and it will be an unforgettable experience! The highlight by far of my week in Germany was seeing Seb for a day. It's been about  9 months since he went home and about 6 since anyone from Coll has seen him. It was definitely a bit of a warm fuzzy seeing him, especially since he's the first person I've seen since I moved here that I actually knew.


I'm sure you lot who are reading this have seen my photos, but here's the link in case you haven't... http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.402990493044723.101307.100000013266911&type=3&l=f724991698


If you're wondering why I'm still hanging around Mo-town in the middle of my holidays there is a reason, albeit not a good one by anyone's standards.. The school is having their training camp this week and I "volunteered" my time to help out. Bullshit. I was told I had to help out.
Usually the school goes to Ghent in Belgium, but this year the teacher in charge of rowing decided to go skiing for a week instead. But don't worry... this wasn't one of the main reasons I wanted to come here.. I love having to cut my holiday short to come back to where I live for ten months of the year.


On the bright side - oh. Actually. I don't think there is one... 


Oh well. Shit happens. I know I'm still a lucky little bugger being so close to Europe and I'm only a couple of hours from London.. Speaking of which, about the only thing I do have to look forward to these holidays now is meeting up with Andy and Sam in London next weekend before term starts again. The three of us haven't been in London together yet so we're going to hit it up hard I expect.
