Congress Bundestag Youth Exchange for Young Procrastinators

Ughhh. I don't want to finish my final report for CBYX. I'm supposed to be working on it, since it's due tomorrow (!!). I am almost done, too. All l I have left to do is a one-page paper in German about my duties during my internship. I could totally have it done already if I wasn't so busy complaining about it.

I suddenly love every kind of writing that is not my 2009-2010 Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange for Young Professionals Final Report, hanging over my head threateningly like a big gray German stormcloud. So. Let me tell you all about my day!

At the third Spirit of Football tournament today, there were some international students who didn't all speak German, so I explained the rules in English. One of the Germans said, without a trace of irony, that I didn't speak English very well ("Die Anna kann nicht so gut Englisch, oder?"). Um. I don't know what to say.

My interviews at the tournament went much better than the last two times. I'll let you in on the link to the videos when it is available. In the meantime, meet local DJing sensation Mensa Jürgen, who provided the tunes at today's tournament:



 Mensa Jürgen spun hits such as "Viva Colonia" (which I have, if accidentally, memorized the words to by now), "Das geht ab" (same), a techno version of Sonny and Cher's "I got you," and Lena's Eurovision Song Contest winner "Satellite."

(Side ramble: I'm happy about Germany winning yesterday, but where on God's green Earth did Lena get that funky accent? Spiegel called it "a Swedish speech therapist imitating Ali G.")

God. Nothing standing between me and my 2009-2010 Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange for Young Professionals Final Report now. Verdammt.
