It's a Beatle's Life ...

I APPEAR to have found a university course where you can study German as a foreign language in Germany ~ at the University of Heidelberg (in cuckoo-clock-land!) ~ which, founded in 1386, is the oldest university in Germany.

... but I've barely had time to peruse the course-description. I don't find reading such information online much fun and will have to get a proper prospectus if the course sounds any good. See: I said I was looking at all the options ~ if I decided the uni route was right for me ...

... Apart from that I'm hacking through Kafka's Verwandlung ~ we did do it at school (and I barely understood a word) but somehow my comprehension has improved so well of late that I breezed through Kafka's surrealist prose ~ about a man who wakes up in bed one morning transformed into a monstrous beetle! ~ with less words-looked-up-per-page than Christiane F's memoir of teen drug-addiction!

So there we go: must fly. About to be timed out yet again ...
