Uni organised summer school...
...in Berlin this summer.

I'd had the flights booked a month in advance, so it only cost me about £55 for the return. But I, showing my usual powers of recollection, got the dates jumbled up in my head, thinking that the date i was coming home was the date i was flying out.

So one monday morning i was out in my garden enjoying the heatwave when i heard my mobile ring. The phone was inside so i was in two minds about whether i could be arsed to answer it or not, but i needed a fresh beer from the fridge anyway so i thought i might as well go now and answer the phone at the same time.

It's an unknown number.
"Hello?"
"MrTrent?"
"Yes"
"I'm whatsherface from that uni you go to. I'm just ringing to find out why you aren't in Berlin"
"..."
"Y'see, everyone's been there since saturday night and they were wondering why you haven't joined them yet?"

Luckily there was a flight out from the local airport a few hours later. Cost me £150 though.

Spack.
