Two weeks ago I went on a German exchange trip. It was the third time I’d been on this trip because it’s really fun. This was the first half of the trip, so the Germans came over here for a week, staying at my house on the last night. In October (I think) We go to Frankfurt am Main. There are multiple Frankfurts, with different rivers going through them (the river Main being one of them).
The three Germans assigned to be my partners were Martin, Micah and Samantha. Martin was 18, Micah and Sam were 17 and they were really cool. Normally I got assigned 12 year-olds, but I was the oldest ‘English’ person on the trip apart from the teachers, so I became a helper. I just had to do head counts and make sure people didn’t mess around. That’s what my partners were doing on the trip, so I was assigned them.

A while ago dad brought home a new computer from his work. It is one of the new sexy iMacs. It’s really sexy.
I was allowed to dual boot it on the condition that it was just for games. I had no problem with it, so now I have clunky Windows (XP thank God!) on a beautiful 24-inch mac screen. I can finally appreciate Oblivion for what it is meant to be, rather than wait for the laptop I used to have to attempt to render some grassy foliage and decide that just crashing is a better idea.
I have roughly 60 mods installed and still it runs like the nose of a 5-year old. I got most of them from here.
I’m considering buying the Unreal Deal Pack simply because it’s 20 squids for 5 of the best FPS games ever made (in my opinion anyway). It’s a stupidly awesome pack of games and I really need to play UT3.

The deal with my dad to get me this site was that he paid for the hosting, but if I didn’t blog at least once a week, I owe him 2 pounds. As you can probably see, I’m now 2 pounds poorer. Suckage.
Also I’ve recently had to reinstall Windows XP on the laptop i use due to spyware. I actually do enjoy doing this because I love the speed of a new computer, but the homeliness of a familiar keyboard and computer setup. I dislike how i have to reinstall EVERYTHING! Most heinous.

This is so awesome. Need I say more?
