I keep picking titles with -ING o.O

Yep. I’m starting to pack. After I had a dream last night that it was already a weeks from now and I only had a few more hours left before I had to leave. And in those few hours I had to pack my stuff. Stuff for a year. Yeah, that was kinda my reality-check. I realized that a week isn’t that long. And I still have so many people to meet before I leave…

Yesterday something really scary happened. I got on the bus after meeting a friend in town, and I saw this huge cloud of black smoke, on the hill where our house is, just further up, kindof over the hill behind some trees. It looked really huge and scary and black. And it was one of those clouds after an explosion, or at least it looked like one. I told myself that it was probably nothing but I still called my mom at home, just because I’m paranoid and you know… she said she hadn’t heard an explosion and that she can’t see any black cloud… But as soon as I got home we heard sirens… and in the evening my dad heard on the radio that a house in Meggen (the area right next to lucerne, where we leave, really near us) had burned down completely. And today I read in the newspaper that a barn had burned down. No humans were hurt, but 30 animals died :( There was one singed cow that ran out and then wanted to run back in because it probably had a calf, but the managed to keep it out… and the farmer had gotten awards for his milk cows. They couldn’t interview him because he was so shocked… The people that live around the barn said they heard an explosion and then saw 10-20 metre high flames coming out of the barn. I mean really, that cloud was huge, I could see it from the city! Which is about 20 min away from there…

And then today it was really rainy. We had the windows open around noon. And you could smell ashes. The wind probably blew the particles over… we don’t live far away at all, so it’s possible. And then I had a horrible thought: those ashes aren’t just from wood. We were smelling more than just burned wood.

It’s sad :( It was the biggest fire in that are in 10 years… The whole barn had burned down by the time the fire department had gotten there… I hope the farmer will be able to keep working… poor guy, I mean, he lost all of his cows and pigs and calfs.

Well… something happier: on the same day, 25 year ago my parents got married :) So they’ve been married for 25 years… a long time. :)

Today I saw Daria (~chiffonshorts) for the last time before she, and then I leave. :( But we have skype and msn and the internet in general so it won’t be so bad :)

You will not believe what just happened to me. Right now. I took a break from writing to go gt some juice and crereal (<3). And I took out the bowl, turned around to get the cereal, and I knocked the bowl to the floor where it broke. So I had to pick the pieces up and make sure there weren’t any little parts lying around anymore. BUt that’s not all.

Same player tries again, I took another little bowl out, set it on the counter, turned around to get the cereal and it happened all over again. -.-

I broke two old little bowls in 5 minutes. Somehow gravity, or what/whoever, doesn’t want me to eat cereal. Why does this stuff happen to me? Ugh vey…
