About our crazy French teacher, the "blue banana", and God's blessings

Last Saturday I went to the Cottage again with David four this time wounderful football. I expected Tottenham to win, actually, after having beaten Liverpool twice as well as Arsenal and some others since Harry Redknap took over as their new manager. But Fulham was just not the team I had seen in the first two games anymore. They entered boldly into a thrilling game and Tottenham hardly had any chances. In fact, the only chance they had they turned into a goal. But Fulham was leading by then and the game was almost over. Hangeland, Johnson, and Bullard made the most impressive performance, as far as I am concerned.

Afterwards, I headed to a bar at the Thames to chat with David and we had a really good time. We also talked about God and I felt it was really blessed.

On Sunday I started reading again and got a book and some articles done until last night. My screwed schedule did not allow me any sleep before five in the morning again. So when I got up at eight and looked out of the window it looked like a harsh and mean day with lots of London drizzle. But then I started to smile - because it was really absurd that I have not been able to sleep before five and, on the other hand, because I felt cheered by God's love and thought it would be a great day (I am really an optimist:) - for those who do not know me so well).

My French classe went well. As we were learning the future proche (aller + infinitif), our teacher asked the only Arab student in our class, who did not seem to dig the concept, whether he would bomb him later on among other things. It did not seem to bother anyone. Probably they were all too tired;).

Also a Chinese in my class told me he knew an undergrad. student from my residence. So I asked him whether it was Avery. "Is he Chinese?", he replied. I found that really funny. How can a Chinese be called Avery? He is American.

Then I read some in a cafe, had my secularization class, another coffee with Nick, and finally made it to a lecture about the "blue banana";).

Now it is midnight and if I can sleep now, it really would be a blessing.
