Hello! I slept really bad this night. I woke up like 2-3 times, and in the morning, I had really bad stomach-pain. (Actually, I was kinda constipated, for like the first time in idk… 10 years. I wasn’t really constipated though, just nearly lol.)

I then got up at about 9, 9:30 and I was already kinda stressed out. I had my drivers license exam today. So in the morning I didn’t really know what to do, so I attempted to solve a sudoku (which I completed), and then had 2 sandwiches for lunch.

Then, at 12 I was picked up by my driving instructor and then we headed to the exam-place. And let me tell you: I was nervous.

We arrived there about 10 minutes early, spent some time talking, and then the examiner arrived. We said hello, and then went to the car, in order for me to take the drive. And I was still nervous.

In the first like 5 minutes, we drove through some tunnel, which was going downwards, and it was a 50 zone. Just before that, I shifted into 4th gear, assuming it would break enough. It didn’t… I reached like 60-65 kmh and then the examiner told me:” It’s only a 50 here”, and I knew: SHIT. That’s a fail. Another half an hour with him in the car, just for nothing. So the nervousness also kinda left me, and I just drove around a bit, and we talked to each other. I was already kinda depressed, but you know how it is.

I also had to parallel park, do an emergency stop and shit. I also had a few more minor marks, but these aren’t that important, given the oral intervention from before.

Back at the test-center, he said:” Congratulations! You passed.” What the helly! Makes no sense to me. But yeah, that’s how I passed my driving exam.

(A few more minors were:
1. We were waiting at a red light, I wanted to go to neutral to shut off the engine, but forgot to shift into neutral. So I released the clutch, the car jumped a bit, and then the engine died. Wasn’t a problem though, since we were still just waiting.
2. I forgot to indicate like 2 times (no big turns, just some minor movements
3. I had to drive according to the signs, and took a wrong turn, but then I savely(!) and rather quickly shifted lanes back (probably not a minor though)
4. Driving a little slow, because of too much focus on talking
But I also did some good things, like
1. Waited for pedestrians
2. A ~10 year old child was on a bicycle driving like a mad man (on the pavement), so I slowed down to 30kph when passing.
3. Checking mirrors and generally driving save (I guess).
)

So I was quite glad that I passed – all though it was kinda unexpected. I obviously told the people at home (mom & dad are on a 2 day trip -> not at home). My foster sister Emily was also at home. The thing is, she already failed the exam twice, and after the third fail, you have to go to do a psychological assessment (which costs like 900-1600 bucks) and she’s generally scared of exams, and her last examiner was just terrible (like intervening unnecessarily “screaming” at her, and then not even giving reasons why she’s failed).
And then me: Getting a really relaxed examiner, and passing (in my eyes) not really driving good.
So this is all currently a bit much for her, and then she broke down and started crying. (Not really because of me, but because of the situation she’s in.) Still hurts me though.

Then, some time later in the afternoon, she asked me what we want for dinner. We then decided on Pizza, and that we were gonna cook together. And now, that I’ve passed my driving exam, I am officially back in the dating game, so I told Emily that, and then I showed her my hinge profile. And turns out, she was “forced” by her friends to create one as well. So then she showed me hers. (It was kinda shit, but we (I) improved it big time! Now it’s acceptable.)
Then we spent like 1.5 hours swiping on men’s profiles for her. And we had a blast haha.

After that, we went to make the pizza -> ate -> & I spent some time on my PC. (I watched some YouTube, but I also had to finish the intro-course to matlab for my numerics lecture).
And now I’m writing (to) you. That’s about all for today. I’ll see you again tomorrow. Take care & Bye-Bye!

---

I did use some hinge later, before going to bed and I saw someone I’ve already seen once. Now, back then, she had written:” I can twitch with my eyes” and I remember, that I wanted to like her (because I can do that too, and she’s pretty) but then I didn’t. Then, I saw her profile again, but this time without this “I can twitch with my eyes”, since she replaced it with something else.
So I then (awkwardly) explained my situation to her, and gave her a super-like (since she was in the standouts again). It was really annoying, since there’s a character limit on hinge, for opening messages. So my message had some scuffed language, and the story-telling was all off. But we’ll see if it works.

Hello! Today was the first car-day for my brother and me. Though, we didn’t work on the car lol. In the morning we rearranged all the things in the garage, so we now have enough space for our car in there, and kinda to work in there too.
This whole “clean up”-thing took like until early afternoon. Sadly, I forgot to make a before-picture, but here’s the after-picture:

Then, for a few hours in the afternoon, I spent some time on my PC, just binging some YouTube, but nothing really important.

At 17:15-ish, I went on my hopefully last learner-drive. But let me tell you: it was bad. I most definitely would not have passed like that. At least, it’s unlikely.
Some would say, “bad warmup -> good game” but yeah. We’ll see tomorrow.

Back at home (like 1.5 hours later) we had Fajitas for dinner, and then I spent some more time on YouTube. I didn’t really watch anything interesting though.

And right now, I’m here, and I’m about to go to take a shower, and then go to bed. I hope I can sleep well, and I’ll see you tomorrow with good news! That’s about all for today. Take care & Bye-Bye!

---

After that, I quickly went on hinge, saw someone Daniel and I knew (who I’ve already described being on hinge) and wrote Daniel that she changed parts of her profile. Then, Daniel and I had a call for about 1 hour 45 minutes, and spent this time looking at women’s profiles. haha.
It was quite amusing. We even sent out a few good likes – don’t know though if he’s gotten any matches.
After that, I was tired -> fell asleep.

Hello! As I went to bed yesterday kinda late, I am tired today, going to bed sooner & imma keep it short here.

Morning: Wake up -> breakfast -> chill a bit (doing some car related searches and shit) -> lunch

Afternoon: Talked a bit with brother about car things, tested a few (like the fuses, some relays and so on) -> went on a drive with my dad (we also wanted to make a copy the Porsche key, but the key-maker is already in pension lol) (The drive went pretty well – I just gotta remember to keep it calm and composed!) -> Talk some more with my brother & I was bored and tired, so I mostly just waited for time to pass, until my internet-blocker disables at 19:30. (During this time, I figured out, that this one farmer-shop sells (worker-)clothes, which are actually pretty cheap and don’t look too bad. So I think imma buy a jacket there for late autumn and spring.)
Also, in the morning & early afternoon, I tried to solve one particular hard sudoku. I tried for like 2.5 hours, but I’m still stuck on the same place I was at about 1 hour… I then surrendered :(

Evening: I ate some sandwiches for dinner & then spent time on my PC watching YouTube and the classic animes (Dan Da Dan & Kaiju nr. 8).
After some time, it was 23:00 -> so I took a shower & now I’m writing (to) you.

So currently it’s 23:33 and I’m about to go to bed. I’ll see you tomorrow. Take care & Bye-Bye!

Yesterday, I told my friends, that my brother and I got our car gifted. Then Yanis said:” Things like that only happen to [my name].”
And I like to think, that I have good karma or some shit, but yes. Things like that do happen to me (occasionally).
But I’ve decided, that I wanna thank this “good deed” with passing those on. Just like multiplying the good things you do onto each other. (I mean, it’s not like I didn’t really do it before, but still. I think, I’m gonna do it more conscious now.)

Hello! Today, in the morning, I had my (hopefully) last driving lesson. Right now, I’m sitting on 8. So that’s really good (if I pass on Monday). But let me tell you: If I had driven the exam today, I would have failed like an idiot. I just gotta remember, to take it calm, and plan ahead. If I do that, I should pass.
This was already most of my morning.

Afternoon: At first, I didn’t really have anything to do, so I tried to solve a really hard sudoku (not successful yet). Then, I had to leave at about 14:30, for a visit at my stomach doctor (gastroenterology).
Let me tell you: the fastest doctor visit I’ve had in a really long time. I arrived ~5 minutes early, and about 1 minute after checking in, I was already called to my doctors office – by my doctor. So I didn’t really have to wait. At first I didn’t even believe it, that it was already my time lol.

With my “main”-doctor, I just had to talk a bit, but most seems fine. He told me, that it’s really important that I send them a stool example, so they can do more tests. Ideally, I’d do that like 2-4 times a year. The last time I did it, was 4 years ago lol.
After this, I also had to give them some blood, and then I was already allowed to leave like 10 minutes after I arrived there. Really fast!

I then went back home, and tried again to solve the sudoku.

The plan for today was, that I meet with Benji, Josh, Yanis and their respective girlfriends (yes, I was the 7th wheel haha).
Since we met kinda early, I invited them (Josh, Yanis, and Yanis GF Leah) to my hose, so I could quickly present them my (and my brothers) new car. And they were kinda impressed – as expected.

After that -> pick up Ellie -> go to next city with car (didn’t want to take train) -> meet Benji and his GF there -> going to eat.

I had a really nice pizza. Not gonna lie: It was the best pizza I had in quite some time.

After that, we all went bowling. Before that, we had to walk from the restaurant to the bowling alley. On this quick walk, I talked to Josh about the hinge-match I had, and that I didn’t really feel it, so I just kinda called it a day, and moved on. Then he told me: That’s dumb. Just try to use these dates as practice dates. Which I thought, was a kinda smart idea. So I think, I won’t do that in the future again. If it’s a match, try to go at least on one date. (I know, technically I’m not on the dating app again, but still. Just remember it for later!)

The bowling was kinda fun. I was quite bad at it (like most of us), and I did feel kinda alone sometimes, because everyone was there in a pair of two – except me…
(I got like 4th or 5th once, and once 2nd – but who’s counting.)

(I was kinda surprised, that Leah didn’t bring up, that she met with my ex, and talked to me about it in real life. I did kinda expect that. Well, I did actually kinda hope that this would’ve happened, because I think I would have had more things to say than just:” It’s fine with me”.
You know, it’s kinda weird, and I’m a little scared, that if they get too close, I might have to see her often – which ATM I don’t really intend to. Not because I dislike her, but… I don’t really know why. It just kinda feels wrong.
Also, I guess I would have said to her, that I quickly go to “spiraling” like:” was it really the right choice to break up? Now that I know, that she would have ‘matched’ with you? And things like that…
)

After the bowling we drove back home. At home, I quickly presented the car to Ellie and then went inside -> shower -> and now I’m writing (to) you.

As it might happens sometimes, today is my break-up-anniversary. So now I’ve been single for a year. And you know, I didn’t really think about it. Not really unexpectedly, nothing really changed, just because it’s now one year, instead of 364 days.

But I did ask myself: How long of no sex turns you into a virgin again? (haha) I think, I might reached that point lol.

---

That’s all for today. I’ll see you again tomorrow. Take care & Bye-Bye!

Today was another no internet day for me. I left before the blocked sites unblocked, and I returned home only after they were blocked again. Just like yesterday.

Hello! Today was the first time in a long time, when I was actually able to sleep out. This means, I slept until like 9:30; even though, I went to bed just before midnight. So that was a good start in my day.

In the morning, I then listened the first applied optimizations lecture. Since it’s technically a masters lecture, I expected it to be kinda hard, but in all reality, it wasn’t. The theory we had today, wasn’t nearly as bad as it was in any of the math lectures. So that was a kinda bitter-sweet realization.
I kinda hoped, it’d be “hard”, so I’d learn more. But yeah, it was only the first lecture.

Then, in the afternoon, I solved a sudoku (since I just had to pass some time. Today was the day, we went to get our car).
Shortly after 3 I left our house, and took the train to somewhere near us, where my sister was. We then drove to her husbands school, picked him up, went back home, changed cars to one that can pull trailers and picked up my brother.

We then headed straight to the guy renting us the trailer. Now, technically, we were supposed to arrive there at latest at 17:30. But since we were late (as usual) we arrived with 15 minutes of delay.
I actually called the rental-guy in advance, and he told me, that if it took us too long, he’d just leave. So we weren’t even sure, if we’d have a trailer.
But in the end, all turned out well.

Now, with the trailer all set, we headed to the nice lady selling us the car. (The drive took like 45 more minutes.)

Once there, we had the first challenge. How to get the car on the trailer; and how do we move the trailer, such that it’s facing the right direction. (Since she lives on a mountain, we couldn’t just turn there. We then pushed and pulled for about 1 hour, and then all was set again. Car on the trailer, and the trailer back set on the car again.
I also handled the contract & paid (she then also gifted me a book for beginner builders on cars?), so we were all set. Then, in the end, she gave my brother and my an envelope and said, that we were only allowed to open it on the high-way, or back at home!

We then took some final pictures (also with her), and then started to drive back. In about the middle of the way, we took a quick dinner-break in a burger king. (The burger was really good, but the sauce to the fries was shit – not even gonna lie haha.)
There on the parking, we opened her letter. It was crazy. She just gave us back, pretty much all of our money. In the end, we only had to pay the fee from the online auction site, and the paperwork she had to do, since she lost the cars registration. So she gave us back: 2755.- WTF. Wayyyy too generous. She said, this is the first investment for replacements into our new car lol.

Then we hit the road again. About 50 minutes later, we arrived back at home. We had some difficulties, driving backwards into our driveway, but once all of us passengers shut up, and we let Sara do it on her own, it all went kinda smoothly haha.

We rolled the Porsche down the trailer, and then we already had to return the trailer. So this was like 35 more minutes driving – each way.

But this all went over smoothly. In the end, we were at home, at about a quarter to 1. Kinda late.

I took a shower, and now I’m writing (to) you. That’s all for today. I’ll see you again tomorrow. Take care & Bye-Bye!

No cap: Sara’s husband is a kinda toxic driver – in the passenger seat. It was kinda annoying.

Hello! Today was a not that busy day, not gonna lie. In the morning, I woke up kinda late (good – I was finally able to sleep out), at like 9:30, and then I didn’t have anything to do. So I just solved some sudokus. Classic, meanwhile.

After lunch, I had to go to the university, for the seminar in the group where I write my bachelors thesis.
Funnily enough, when I arrived at the train-station, Louis was already there, and a friend of his was there too. This new friend actually asked me to join our volleyball team, and so we had his first volleyball testing-practice scheduled for today.
So I then obviously drove with them to the university. By coincidence, this friend of Louis actually had to attend the same seminar as I did.

In the seminar, we just got some administrative information and then were able to go back home again.

Back at home, I went to the bank with my mom (I drove). I had to go pick up some cash, in order to buy the car tomorrow. Since we also rented a trailer, I had to pick up quite a lot of money. So all in all, I picked up 4.7k. And I gotta say, I’ve never had this much money on me – ever. It’s quite a big stash of notes. I couldn’t even really fold the money into my wallet lol.

There after (back at home again), I solved some more sudokus, and then I helped my mom cook once more.

After dinner, I had to go to volleyball practice. The first time since the injections into my shoulder yesterday.
To be honest, it was better today, but definitely not fixed. I was able to do some things with my right arm, but it wasn’t really without pain. I think, it was about a 6 in the worst cases. But still a big improvement.

Actually, today at the end of the practice, I threatened one of my players, that I’d throw him out of our team, if he leaves now, and he did leave still. But I think, I’m gonna text him, that if this happens once more, imma beat the shit out of him! Nah, I’ll just throw him out fr fr.

After training, I got driven home by the new friend I met today, (who also picked me up) and then wanted to spend some time on YouTube. It was already 22:48 -> only about 10 minutes left. So I opened YouTube, started to watch a video, but it cut off in the middle of it. :(
I think, I’ll finish it on my phone, like a silly little gangster. Otherwise it’s too much of a hassle.

So I guess I’ll do that now, and then go to bed. I’ll see you tomorrow! Take care & Bye-Bye!

Hello! As I just before wrote the entry for the past weekend, which took like 1.5 hours, I’m gonna keep it rather short today.

Morning: Going to uni -> numerical maths lecture -> had to leave about 3/4 in, since I had to go to the doctor.

On my way there, I met the elder setter of my team. (Funnily enough, if you go back to last semesters beginning, I met his wife for the exact same reason in the same place. Leaving university to go to the doc.)

At the doctor, I had 2 injections of Cortisone into my right shoulder. Let me tell you, it was a pain to get those needles into my shoulder. He scratched the bone like 2-3 times, and this just shivers my whole body. Really unpleasant.
I believe, these injections helped a little. And the doc meant, that I should start with volleyball pretty much tomorrow, just as I used to, and then write down, if it helped at all, or how much.

After that, I went home.

At home: Lunch -> afternoon: little uni work (no real things to do as of yet) -> solve lot’s of sudokus. (Just as yesterday.)
Also I did organize a trailer, so we can go pick up our car on Thursday. -> Helped my mom cook a little -> dinner -> spending time on YouTube -> writing this past weekend’s diary entry -> writing this entry -> shower -> bed.

That’s about all for today. I’ll see you tomorrow. Take care & Bye-Bye!

Since Caroline is kinda my new crush, I thought about asking her out (obviously). The thing is, she’s not the prettiest, (I mean she is pretty, but not a 10/10), and I’m kinda scared, that I’m gonna dislike her kinda long into the relation-ship (if it would even happen.)
Now reading this (as I write it), it kinda sounds like I’m still scared of getting hurt again. Pussy mode activated. WRONG! Deactivate this shit. So I’m gonna keep this in mind, the next time I see her!

But back again: Caroline is a character pick. She’s really “cool” (for a lack of better vocabulary). It’s real easy to talk to her, and yeah. You know!

Hello! Today was the first day of the new semester. It wasn’t that busy though. I only had one seminar called: Artificial intelligence and machine learning. There we just have to read one paper (in advance at home), and then in groups of 3 (at least today it was in groups of 3) answer some questions about the paper. And then the last few minutes, we discussed the answers all together.
This is really nice, since we don’t have a final exam, but it’s only graded on how you participate in this course. So easy money.
This was from 10-12.

Today’s paper was about CroCo, which was about a new method to pre-train image networks. The idea is, that (for pre-training) you give the AI 2 images from different perspectives. Though, in one of those, most of the image is deleted (like 90%). Then it has to predict (with the full “reference image” from a different angle) the missing parts.
It turns out, that like that you can have simpler NN’s doing equally good predictions of then fine-tuned tasks, like for example depth-mapping.

Afterwards, I went home. At home I had lunch and then I didn’t have anything to do… I solved some sudokus, and then used hinge for about one hour. As usual, I sent out too few likes.
Not too bad though, since last week-end I kinda developed a crush on someone. Not too sure about it tough. It’s the opposite hitter from the first women’s team. (I know it sounds kinda mean, but) she’s looking kinda stoned always (hahaha), and she’s got a real good character. (I think) So I also spent some time investigating her online presence hahah. And turns out, she’s a rhythmic-gymnastics coach. Nice.

Then, in the evening I did some car-preparations with my brother and then spent the rest of the time on YouTube. Just before, I took a shower, and now I’m going to bed.

Sadly, I didn’t write the diary for this past weekend today, as I just didn’t want to. lol. Maybe tomorrow (?).

That’s it for today. I’ll see you soon. Take care & Bye-Bye!

Hello! This entry is kinda forged, since we had the volleyball practice weekend, and I didn’t write my diary. All of this started on Friday 12th.
(Written on 16th September.)

Friday, 12th

As I had my last exam the day before, I went to bed kinda late, and hoped to sleep for quite some time. As it happened though, this wasn’t the case. I woke up really early (like some time between 6 & 7), and was too nervous to fall back asleep again. Why was I so nervous? It was the auction day for the car my brother and I wanted to buy. As this auction ended only at 12, it was kinda annoying. Also I was tired. So not the best feeling.

Time went on and on, and I stared on the clock excessively. It didn’t move as fast as I had hoped it would. Then, sooner or later (later) it was 10 to 12. So I reloaded the page, and saw, that someone was biding. I then waited some more time, because the later I start bidding, the lower I can keep the price (or so I thought).
Since the auction-ending-timer goes up to 3 minutes, if someone bids in the last 3 minutes, I bid about 3 minutes before ending.

Turns out, I (we) wasn’t the only one who wanted this car. Then, like 2 minutes before the initial ending, the owner of the car called me, and said that if I wanted the car, I should just bid. In the end she would then just give it to us.
This all kinda confused me, but since my brother and I decided, that we’d go up to about 4.5k, I just kept on bidding. Sooner or later, the starting price rose to now 4k. Then the lady who owns the car called me again. Then and there she told me, that she’s decided that she’d just give us the car for the initial 3k, and I can bid however much I wanted. “Just bet like 12k, the others are gonna stop eventually.”, were her exact words.

This sounded kinda fishy. I for real thought I was getting scammed haha. But then, 1 minute later, I got a text of her with the exact same statement and noting, that now I got it in writing. So no fishy stuff going on. Then I bid 14k. (This site keeps it as low as possible, so you are higher than each other bidder.) So the price went up again and again and eventually stopped at 4’500.- and we won!

This was a real exciting thing so far. I’ll tell you: the adrenaline was rushing through my body, even though it was obvious, that we’d win. Still. The rush I got; AMAZING. And the best part: we now have a price reduction of 1.5k. It’s only getting better and better!

Then, about 5 minutes later, we had lunch, and I could tell my family the good news. My brother and I were really excited, and my mom kinda started to turn as well hahaha.

Anyway; I was too much in a adrenaline rush that I wasn’t even hungry. Just aamazing.

After lunch, I finished packing all my stuff for the training weekend.
Then, 15 past 1pm, I had to go catch a train and head to the shoulder specialist. I had to wait some time, and then we (he) came to the conclusion, that I probably have a inflammation in my right longer bicep tendon. And we decided on a treatment with Cholesterin injection. But this date still had to be determined.

Pretty much right after my doctor’s appointment, I was picked up by Louis and Daniel, and we drove off to Fiesch, where we had our training-weekend.
As it was Friday afternoon (like 3pm), we didn’t use the highway (because of traffic jam) but instead drove over the Grimsel-Pass. And I gotta say, it was really pretty.
On this drive, I also told them about the news, that my brother and I just bought a car, and they were impressed, and thought it was a cool one. Only challenge now, is to get it driving; and then pass the state-car examination.
Also, I took one picture of Daniel, and I gotta say, it’s a banger picture. He’s in the mirror of the car (didn’t realize that I was taking this picture) and had his arm kinda out of the window. Another sexy pic of Daniel haha.

We arrived there quickly got our stuff sorted into our rooms, and then headed straight to dinner. (We had rice stroganoff – it was really nice.)

After dinner, we had our first practice session. We did some basic’s for all the important things in volleyball. (Like serving, receiving, out of system setting and shit.) The practice was really good, but we cut it short at about 21:30 (after 1.5 hours of training), because we had a long weekend before us.

After that, we went back to the house, and of course, drank a lot. We were lpaying some games in the group room, and even some females joined in. One of those is Caroline (who’s gonna be introduced tomorrow, as I’m not really writing this in a chronological order). We even played the pirate-game. YO-HO-HO is all I can say to that. Funnily enough, I was first right up to the 2nd to last round. Then all hell went loose, and I went from first to last. haha
It escalated a bit. In the end, Daniel and I were the last ones to sleep, at 3:30. (We were “gooning” on hinge; completely drunk hahahah)

---

Saturday, 13th

We had to get up kinda early because we had our first practice session at 8am. It wasn’t that bad. I mean, my head hurt, but it was fine.
And yes, we did skip breakfast haha.

Since the practice ended already after 2 hours, we showered, and then had some team building activities, with the other two women’s teams as well.
We “played” this classic game, of one board in the middle with lots of strings attached, and then we had to do some precision work (as a group). And every time we failed, we had to explain why we failed. Childish type shit.
All in all it was kinda fun though.

There after, it was time for lunch. We had the best nutrition for people doing lots of physical activities. Hot dogs with fries. Wow. What a nice meal.
The worst part, it wasn’t even that good. lol.

After lunch, we had a break for 2 hours before practice. As I was really tired, and the sun was shining, I just took a bottle of water, my AirPods and laid out in the sun for about one hour. I was kinda trying to sleep, but I didn’t fall asleep. It was still refreshing though.
The first women’s team had to leave the place where we were, since they had a practice game nearby, and they walked by me, since I was lying near the main path. I then heard them ask themselves:” Is he okay? Should we go look?” So I quickly lifted my head, and singed them, that I was fine.
Then about 1 hour later, Daniel called me, and we quickly went to the store and bought some things. (Small foods, and sweets for practice.)

Then it was practice time again. We had the gym for 4 hours. We just trained some classic volleyball things, and then in the end, we played a little bit with some of the willing women from the 2nd women’s team.

After that, shower -> dinner (we had pasta. As if they couldn’t have swapped it with the hot-dogs for dinner…) -> evening activity for everyone.

This year, it was some mini-golf, which was just next to our house. At first, we started in a team of 4 (Daniel, I our elder setter, and our new outside hitter). Then, like on the second track, 2 women joined us. One who shall now be named: Caroline. And the other was the sister of the fella I met just one week ago at the train-station (before the practice tournament).
As we only had one golf club, and one ball, it took quite some time to get through the tracks lol.

We played for some time, but then not too long later, we had to call it quits, because it got dark, rained a little, and because of the low temperatures it got really slippery.

After that, it was time for a short quiz. (This too was organized by Caroline and the other woman who joined our group.) We randomized teams, and had to give some names and things for our team. A team name, a team sport (other than volleyball) and a mascot for our team. Most of those aren’t that important, but since Caroline was one of the organizers, we (I) picked her as our team mascot.
Then when we (I) introduced our team, everyone laughed at the silly mascot joke. Nice! One funny joke more done.

Now to the quiz: How good were we? We got last lol. Funnily enough, we had the same amount of points as the team Daniel was on.

After the quiz was over, most of us spent some more time in the group room. I was playing the ADHD game “jew” with Daniel and Luca, and then Caroline did one giga-chad thing. She just sat to us, asked us what we were playing, and then (I guess) initially had planned to play with us. But since this is not that beginner-friendly, she called it even before she got to play :(
We played some more different games, some pingpong, and then, rather quickly, everyone went to bed. Not that epic.
Caroline’s group was playing the pirate-game, but they were already six people, so I couldn’t join them :(
Not too late we went to bed as well. (I didn’t really drink that day. My stomach wasn’t feeling it. I had one beer, but then had to take a shit pretty much immediately lol.)

All in all, we went to bed at about 1am.

Then, Leah (Yanis GF) texted me something. Mainly that after she got her diploma, my ex wrote her and congratulated her. They kinda continued texting, and now they did meet up for coffee. Leah claimed, that they did understand each other really good, so they’ll meet up soon again (probably). And she was wondering, if this is fine for me.
Of course, I replied with “yes” but in all honesty, it is kinda weird. Not even gonna lie.
I then asked her, whether they talked about me, and she said only a little. (Because of group dynamic.) And that they talked a little about our break up. And my ex thought, that it was good, that I broke up with her in person, and at first it did hurt, but now it’s okay.
So this then kept me up for some more time. Cool :(

Sunday, 14th

Again, we had to get up early, since there was a morning yoga session announced, open for everyone to join (at 8:30), but we had to clean our rooms first. And I (obviously) wanted to go to the yoga session, since it was with everyone, and kinda funny lol.
Funnily enough, I even found myself right next to Caroline. (More or less a coincidence. I joined kinda late, and as she was right at the border between my players and the women, I just snuck into there (as it was also the nearest place, where any of my team were).)
The yoga was okay the most part. Once we had to kneel, which I was unable to. Also, some time near the end, we had some balance things. We had to do the airplane. And funnily enough, I was so bad at it, that I actually fell hahaha. Wasn’t the first one though!

Once done with the yoga, we had a one hour break, in which Daniel and I went to “return” the house. And it was good (with one minor mistake, but not bad). During this time, we just had to wait for a long time, and we tactically used this time to hinge with Daniels phone.
(Funnily, we sent out one like, to some woman, with a bad joke. I remembered this one on the 15th (when I used hinge for about one hour) and she did show up in my feed. I then just liked the same thing, and wrote:” If someone wrote you something like [joke I wrote with Daniel], I think you should match him.” And of course, I screen-recored it and sent it to Daniel. lol. Jokes.)

Then, from 10-12 we had our last practice session. As more and more people joined us over the weekend, we were actually enough to play some 6vs6. And it was actually really good. Especially considering that it was the last morning of the practice weekend, and that we hardly ever practiced 6 vs 6 up until now.

After that, we showered, and went to have lunch. Kinda by coincidence, I sat next to Caroline once more. (She was at the end of the table, I saw her, but didn’t bother to check, whether it was “better” to go on the other side of the table, so I would for sure sit next to her.)
As it happened, we talked a bit, but as usual, last day of such a week-end not that much to talk about. Kinda a bummer. But I gotta give props to her, since she in fact did keep the conversation going.

After lunch, it was already time to go home. As Daniel, Louis and I went back by car, we parted ways with them there :(

We drove back over the Grimsel-Pass. It was beautiful once more. Louis was really tired though. Especially in the last half-hour.
(As I was sitting in the back of the car, with Daniel and Louis in front, and I got the news from Leah yesterday, and was really tired, I spiraled for some time, whether it was the right call to break up back then and the classic things. But yeah, I do believe it was better! Sadly, when I’m tired it’s not always like that lul.)
Also, I did ask the 2 fellas, if they knew whether Caroline was single (they didn’t), and then we (I) did some stalking activities to find out her age. Turns out, her birthday is one day later than mine, but she’s 2 years older. Luckily, that’s just in range. So I’m thinking of asking her out. (BTW, she’s the maybe-crush I wrote about on September 16th.)

Anyway, we got home safely.

At home, I unpacked my things, was really tired -> dinner -> some time on PC -> going to sleep.

So this was my whole weekend (pretty much).

Bye-Bye!

Hello! I’m back from my volleyball practice weekend. I’m way to tired, so I’m going to sleep for now, and I (hopefully) write down what happened from Friday to Today.

I’ll see you then. Take care & Bye-Bye!
