Ein Lied zwo drei vier!

Ich bin Schwappi, die kleine Tsunami,
Und am Strand, da war ich ja noch nie;
Zuerst war ich im Ozean,
dann ri-ra-rollte ich heran.

Schwi-schwa-schwappi, schwappi schwappi schwapp,
Schwi-schwa-schwappi, schwappi schwappi schwapp.

Nostalgia

I miss being able to pull an all-nighter before a presentation or a term paper deadline.

I miss being able to listen to music at the highest volume and to dance around madly to it. I can sometimes do it, when I visit my parents; but I used to be able to do it whenever I felt like it, and that's impossible now.

I miss the random sleepovers at the WG after a movie or after watching Sex and the City and Friends or when I just didn't feel like leaving Cologne that night.

I miss going to the cinema at least once a week, like I used to.

I miss not having to worry about money.

I miss the daily chats with my Fellowship; by now, I have to be glad if even a few of us manage to be online at the same time once a month.

I miss seeing my Fellowship. It feels as though we hardly ever meet anymore.

I miss random insane short holidays. To Zürich, to Freiburg, to Munster, to Danmark: Just because it feels like a good idea at the time. I had the best New Year's Eve of my life when Katha and I spontaneously drove to Staufen to celebrate with Elbereth, Enux and Cye.

I miss time. It's passing way too fast now, and I've been told it will pick up speed every year.

I miss my motivation to do sports. From 1997 to 2001, I had some sort of practice every day except Sundays, and often even then. Jûdô, karate, capoeira, basketball in school, 'active living' in school in Canada, I was always moving and I loved it. After 2001, it got less because of the Abitur exams and university, but I still practiced at least three times a week. And now? I can hardly motivate myself to go to kendô practice once a week, and I haven't been to karate practice since November.

I miss wasting a whole afternoon with a book.

I'll miss Veldenz this year.

I have no reason to be sad and I know I'm being ungrateful, but I can't help it.
